Jeff Hurd and Dwayne Romero Deadlocked in Colorado Race
Incumbent Representative Jeff Hurd and challenger Dwayne Romero remain in a too-close-to-call race for Colorado's 3rd Congressional District as ballot counting continues.
The race for Colorado's 3rd Congressional District remained too close to call on Tuesday night, November 4, 2026, as election officials continued to process ballots. Jeff Hurd, the incumbent U.S. Representative who has held the seat since January 2025, is seeking a second two-year term against Democratic challenger Dwayne Romero.
Hurd hosted an election watch party in Grand Junction attended by approximately 200 supporters. During the event, he stated he is "cautiously optimistic" as the results are processed. The district has not been represented by a Democrat in nearly 20 years, making the current deadlock a significant development in the region's political landscape.
