About
Jeff Hurd is a proud Colorado native who grew up in Grand Junction. His first job was bagging groceries at a local store—a small but formative role that shaped his appreciation for hard work and community. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, Jeff earned law degrees from the University of Denver and Columbia Law School. He clerked for federal appeals court judge Timothy M. Tymkovich before practicing law at Sullivan & Cromwell in New York City.
But Colorado was always home. Jeff and his wife, Barbora, returned to western Colorado to raise their family more than a decade ago. He built a successful law practice serving rural communities, focusing primarily on rural electric cooperatives—the locally owned organizations that power much of Colorado’s Third District.
Now, as a U.S. Congressman, Jeff is honored to represent Colorado’s Third District, one of the most stunning and diverse regions in the country. From the rugged San Juan Mountains to the farms and ranches in the San Luis Valley, from Mesa County’s breathtaking public lands to Pueblo’s historic steel mill, the district embodies the best of the American West. It is home to world-renowned ski resorts, thriving ranching and agricultural communities, and one of the nation’s largest energy reserves.
Jeff serves on three key House committees:
- Natural Resources – Protecting Colorado’s water, energy, and public lands.
- Transportation & Infrastructure – Improving roads, bridges, airports, and water facilities across southern and western Colorado.
- Science, Space & Technology – Ensuring that Colorado remains a leader in energy innovation, aerospace, and advanced technology.
He is a steadfast advocate for Western values—fighting for Colorado’s energy independence, water rights, and rural way of life.
Jeff’s wife, Barbora, grew up in communist Czechoslovakia. Now a proud American citizen, she and Jeff are raising their five children in Grand Junction.
