AFP Action Congratulates Jeff Hurd (CO-03) on Election Victory
GRAND JUNCTION, CO – AFP Action congratulates Jeff Hurd on his election to Congress, representing Colorado’s 3rd congressional district. AFP Action endorsed Hurd back in February and has been engaged in grassroots efforts in the district since.
As part of the largest grassroots network in the country, AFP Action and our grassroots volunteers and staff have knocked on more than 130,000 doors and made 90,000 phone calls throughout the district on behalf of Jeff Hurd. With AP calling the race when Hurd was ahead by about 11,000 votes, AFP Action grassroots helped solidify Hurd’s election.
AFP Action Senior Advisor and AFP-Colorado State Director Jesse Mallory released the following statement:
“Tonight, Hurd’s message of combatting inflation and cost-of-living increases in Colorado resonated with voters. In Congress, Hurd will secure Colorado and the southern border with increased technology, infrastructure, and boots on the ground. Americans for Prosperity looks forward to working alongside him in Congress.”
