[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 yea on H.R. 29 (Laken Riley Act) on 2025-01-07: Hurd joined all Republicans and 46 Democrats in passing this bill requiring mandatory ICE detention for undocumented immigrants accused of certain crimes. While aligned with his hardline campaign stance on immigration, the bill was criticized by civil liberties groups. The vote is consistent with his party's position and campaign platform, but notable as one of his earliest votes that defined his immigration posture.

Voted yea on H.J.Res. 40 (Resolution of Disapproval of Canada Tariffs under IEEPA) on 2026-02-11: Hurd was one of only 6 House Republicans to vote with Democrats to overturn Trump's 25% tariff on Canada, citing harm to farmers and manufacturers in his district. Trump withdrew his endorsement 10 days later, calling Hurd a 'RINO.' The vote illustrates cross-pressure: his district's agricultural and steel exporters opposed tariffs, while the president and GOP leadership demanded loyalty. Trump later re-endorsed Hurd after the primary challenger was persuaded to drop out.
