Jeff Hurd

Overview

Rep. Jeff Hurd represents Colorado in the U.S. House as a Republican with 452 recorded votes. His record shows consistent support for energy and environmental deregulation, tax legislation, criminal justice measures, and technology policy, while he frequently opposes labor and healthcare measures. He has backed the fiscal year 2027 budget resolution and continuing appropriations to keep the government funded. His ideology score of 0.360 — compared to the Republican average of 0.520 — indicates he occupies a more moderate position than most members of his party. This is demonstrated most visibly by his September 2026 vote in favor of impeaching President Trump, a position that placed him at odds with the majority of House Republicans. On defense and foreign policy, his record is mixed: he supported roughly 57% of defense-related votes but opposed measures invoking the War Powers Resolution to withdraw U.S. forces from Lebanon. Hurd votes with near-unanimity on criminal justice (100% support across 13 votes), technology (100% across 10 votes), and taxation (91% across 11 votes). His opposition to labor measures (80% opposition) and most healthcare proposals (67% opposition) aligns with more traditional Republican positions. On housing and education, he has supported the majority of measures that came to a vote, at 88% and 89% respectively. Colorado voters evaluating Rep. Hurd should note that his voting profile is that of a Republican who generally supports his party's positions on fiscal, energy, and law enforcement issues but who has shown a willingness to diverge on select high-profile matters, placing him among the more moderate members of the House Republican conference.
