Grand Junction attorney and father of five Jeff Hurd sailed to Republican primary victory on Tuesday in the Colorado district that's been front and center for years thanks to the antics of its incumbent, Rep. Lauren Boebert.
Hurd, 44, told The Independent in the hours before polls closed in the state's third congressional district that "most rural Coloradans were ready to move on" from the "kind of politics that's really loud and in your face and aggressive."
