32 YEARS OF SERVICE.
ZERO DC GAMES.
Jeff Hurd voted against censuring Ilhan Omar. He tried to strip Trump's tariff authority. He hid from CD3 voters in 2024. Ron Hanks has been saying the same things for four years and hasn't changed a word. Western and Southern Colorado deserves a representative who means it.
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT.
THEY SAY: "Ron Hanks is too conservative for Colorado."
THE TRUTH: 32 years of service. Same values. Not one word has changed.
THEY SAY:"Ron Hanks is anti-gun."
THE TRUTH: My voting record in the Colorado House is public. Look it up.
THEY SAY:"Hurd was protecting free speech when he voted against the Omar censure."
THE TRUTH: Hurd was one of four Republicans who refused to hold Omar accountable after she attacked Charlie Kirk's legacy.
CD3 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY - JUNE 30, 2026
Ron Hanks vs. Jeff Hurd
Constitution First. Western & Southern Colorado Always. Zero DC Games.

Ron Hanks Will Stand For:
OUR LAND – NO MORE LAND GRABS
The federal government controls 36% of Colorado land – and they should focus on and manage those 24 million acres better. Jeff Hurd co-sponsored the GORP Act with Democrat Senators Hickenlooper and Bennet — permanently locking up 730,000 acres of CD3 land. Ron Hanks has attended public events across Western and Southern Colorado arguing against federal land grabs. Once it's locked up, the government will never unlock it.
AMERICA FIRST
Ron Hanks will vote 100% in line with the America First agenda. Jeff Hurd scores 64% on the Heritage Action conservative scorecard — 20 points below the average House Republican. CD3 deserves a congressman who knows what AMERICA FIRST means.
National Security Issues
-
COAL, OIL/GAS, NUCLEAR
Energy secures our standard of living, and unleashes creativity. While Ron Hanks fights for Colorado's oil, gas, and coal, Jeff Hurd was the only Republican to side with Democrats against the Trump Administration on NCAR — the source of the most radical climate alarmism.
-
Terrorist Organizations and Criminal Networks had free access into our country. They are HERE, NOW. We must be RELENTLESS in our deportations of illegal aliens. Jeff Hurd refused to sign a letter with three other Colorado Republican representatives asking Governor Polis to repeal state laws protecting illegal immigrants. Ron Hanks will sign the next one and fight against Sanctuary State status.
-
Heavy Industry MUST come back to America High-Tech supply chains should ALWAYS be under American control Pharmaceuticals should be made in America.
-
We have overwhelming capacity to feed the world. Family Farms are and ought to be the policy priority. Family farms in CD3 are being squeezed by rising input costs and foreign competition. Jeff Hurd voted to kill Trump's tariffs protecting American agriculture. Ron Hanks supports Trump's tariff strategy as an instrument of foreign policy — and soon it will benefit America's economy and Colorado's ranchers and farmers.
-
Jeff Hurd voted to bury H.Res. 1100 — killing public disclosure of congressional sexual misconduct records. Ron Hanks believes full transparency is non-negotiable. If Congress has a misconduct problem, the people who pay for it deserve to know.
-
We MUST audit every federal department and agency. Build department budgets line by line. NO Continuing Resolutions or Omnibus Spending Bills. Jeff Hurd voted to fund rogue activist federal judges who violate the separation of powers. Ron Hanks will fight to audit every department, line by line, no exceptions.
-
32 years. Iraq. Kuwait. Kazakhstan. Ron Hanks has lived the sacrifice he's asking you to honor. He will fight for VA access, benefits, and the dignity every veteran has earned — not as a talking point, but as a promise from someone who has been there.
-
Civil Discourse requires ALL parties trust the outcome of our voting process. Anything less brings us to violence and unrest. Ron Hanks fought for paper ballots, same-day voting with valid ID, and cleaned voter rolls in the Colorado House. That record doesn't change.
Ron Hanks Will Fight Against:
-
The federal government wants another 1.2 millions acres from CD3. They take it, then never let go
Often, they just LOCK IT UP & WATCH IT BURN
> Suspend all federal efforts for solar and wind mega-projects -
End Patriot Act, and “sneak and peek” surveillance on INNOCENT AMERICANS.
-
End multi-year appropriations.
-
Defund ALL non-governmental organizations.
-
Taxpayers foot the bill for these cases.
> We want transparency
