House Majority PAC Adds $2.1M to Colorado 3rd District Campaign
The late injection of funds targets Republican incumbent Jeff Hurd as over one million voters have already cast their ballots.
By Layla Richardson ·
House Majority PAC announced on Wednesday that it will spend an additional $2.1 million on television advertisements in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District. The organization aims to unseat Republican incumbent Jeff Hurd before Election Day. This spending comes after more than one million Colorado voters, representing roughly a quarter of the active registered electorate, have already submitted their ballots.
CJ Warnke, a spokesperson for the super PAC, confirmed the eleventh-hour infusion of funds. The new expenditure is separate from approximately $300,000 the group had already allocated for TV ads during the final week of the campaign. The total investment is designed to counter the more than $3 million that Republican groups have already deployed in the district to support Hurd.
Prior to this week, there had been minimal super PAC spending on behalf of Dwayne Romero, the Democratic challenger and former Aspen City Council member. The House Majority PAC is linked to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York. The late surge in Democratic support arrives as the race remains tight despite the district’s historical lean toward Republican candidates.
Republican spending in the race has largely focused on attacking Romero. Two super PACs aligned with President Donald Trump, Safety & Affordability and No Going Back, have spent a combined $2.5 million in the district through Monday. The Federal Election Commission is expected to report the new Democratic spending within a few days.
Recent polls indicate the contest is effectively a tie. The 3rd District covers the Western Slope and extends into Pueblo and southeastern Colorado. In the 2024 election, Hurd defeated his Democratic opponent by five percentage points. In that same cycle, Trump carried the district by ten percentage points.
