Democrat Adam Frisch, a former Aspen city councilman, and Republican Jeff Hurd, a Grand Junction attorney, are running against each other to represent Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District in Washington, D.C.

The GOP-leaning district spans Colorado’s Western Slope and stretches into Pueblo and southeastern Colorado. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Republican, currently represents the district, but moved to Windsor on the other side of the state and is running this year to represent the 4th Congressional District.

We asked Hurd and Frisch about their stances on major issues, like the economy, immigration and the environment. 

Our questions were informed in large part by responses to the Voter Voices 2024 survey. The candidates are listed in the order they appear on the ballot.
