Jeff Hurd’s top two private-sector-equivalent employers in the 3rd District are federal land management agencies (US Forest Service Region 2 with 2,000 employees and BLM Western Colorado offices with 1,500 employees), giving him a direct economic incentive to oppose a mandatory public lands sale.
inferential · 2025-06-24
Hurd's top PAC donors (Koch Inc, Chevron) are direct beneficiaries of H.R. 1 tax cuts and fossil fuel lease provisions, creating a plausible material conflict between donor interests and Hurd's Medicaid pledge.

[constituency_baseline] District summary: Colorado's 3rd Congressional District spans the entire Western Slope and southern Colorado, covering rural, agricultural, and mountain communities from Moffat County in the northwest to Montezuma County in the southwest and extending east to Otero and Las Animas counties. With approximately 729,000 residents, the district has a median household income of $70,890 and a homeownership rate of 71.1%. The population is 76.4% White (non-Hispanic) and 26% Hispanic. Key economic drivers include energy production (oil, gas, coal), agriculture and ranching, outdoor recreation and tourism, healthcare, and timber. The district contains six national forests, extensive BLM lands, and is home to vital water resources like the Colorado River headwaters. It is considered a competitive seat with a Republican lean (R+5), and Hurd won the 2024 election by just over 6,000 votes (50.8%).

Voted sponsored_unverified on H.R. 1997 (Productive Public Lands Act) on 2025-03-10: Hurd introduced this bill to revoke nine Biden-era BLM Resource Management Plans and reopen federal lands to expanded drilling, mining, and timber harvesting. This directly benefits top energy-sector donors like Koch Inc, Chevron, and Western Energy Alliance, while environmental groups argue it undermines years of local stakeholder collaboration and contradicts Western voters' preference for conservation. The bill illustrates the tension between his public lands protection rhetoric and his energy dominance agenda.

He worked with Democratic Rep. Joe Neguse to strip the provision, stating 'public lands are not for sale' and that no one in his district asked for the land sale. This was a rare defection from party leadership that aligned with constituent sentiment: 72% of Westerners prefer conservation over energy development on public lands.

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

ComponentWeightSignal
Contradiction Risk30%Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence20%Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density20%Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk15%Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume15%Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation0%Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment0%Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
