Republican Jeff Hurd has won the U.S. House seat in Colorado that Rep. Lauren Boebert left. Hurd’s victory fulfills the congresswoman’s hope that her mid-election departure from the race would make it easier for a different Republican to retain the seat after she nearly lost it in 2022. Hurd is a more mild-mannered conservative in an older GOP tradition. He beat Democratic candidate Adam Frisch, the same man who nearly unseated Boebert two years ago.
