科罗拉多州共和党众议员杰夫·赫德周二赢得共和党提名,击败右翼挑战者,这位新晋议员正力争保住一个民主党计划在11月中期选举中翻盘的竞争激烈的众议院选区。
据美联社报道,赫德在覆盖科罗拉多州西部和南部几乎全部区域的 sprawling 众议院选区共和党初选中击败了前州众议员罗恩·汉克斯(科罗拉多州共和党人)。
今年2月,赫德与民主党人一同支持一项旨在终止特朗普加拿大关税的 largely symbolic 议案,此前总统随即撤销了对他的背书,而赫德最终凭借特朗普的背书参选,后者随后于3月重新表态支持赫德,并呼吁从右翼挑战赫德的海军退伍军人霍普·谢普尔曼暂停竞选并加入他的政府。谢普尔曼曾担任科罗拉多州共和党副主席,同时也是一名急诊护士,目前在美国卫生与公众服务部担任药物滥用问题高级顾问。
特朗普因所谓缺乏对政府关税议程的支持撤销对共和党议员的背书
特朗普在Truth Social平台上写道:“我将全力支持杰夫竞选连任众议院议员,给他我百分之百、毫无保留的背书!”“每一位真正的‘让美国再次伟大’支持者和共和党人,如果真的关心拯救我们的国家,都会尽一切努力团结起来,在11月击败疯狂的激进左翼民主党人。”
谢普尔曼退出后,汉克斯加入共和党初选挑战赫德。他曾在2024年共和党初选中与赫德对决,当时还是新任议员的赫德以刚过40%的得票率胜出。
作为空军退伍军人的汉克斯毫无根据地指控前总统乔·拜登“通过欺诈手段当选”。他还曾现身1月6日骚乱现场,但称自己并未进入美国国会大厦,也未遭到刑事指控。
科罗拉多州共和党众议员劳伦·博伯特此前代表这个倾向共和党的选区,2024年她搬至科罗拉多州东部,参选那里一个更倾向共和党的席位。
共和党激进议员因马西相关指控怒斥记者:“首先,去你的!”
赫德是一名律师,此前曾担任大章克申地区商会主席。他担任西部核心小组副主席,同时是众议院自然资源委员会以及交通与基础设施委员会成员。赫德曾在关税政策和俄罗斯制裁法案问题上与特朗普意见相左,但在大多数备受瞩目的立法议案上都与总统投了一致票。他还曾与博伯特一同投票否决推翻特朗普对科罗拉多州阿肯色河谷一项输水管道项目的否决权,但该投票最终失败。
商人亚历克斯·凯洛夫和陆军退伍军人德韦恩·罗梅罗正在角逐民主党提名。
民主党希望在赫德2024年以仅5个百分点的优势赢得科罗拉多州第三国会选区后将其拉下马。这个倾向共和党的选区包含几个富裕滑雪小镇和普韦布洛这些民主党票仓。
汉克斯在接受《大章克申每日哨兵报》采访时将赫德斥为“假保守派”,称他对总统不够忠诚。

Trump-backed incumbent survives right-wing primary challenge after endorsement drama in Colorado

Rep. Jeff Hurd, R-Colo., clinched the GOP nomination against a right-wing challenger Tuesday, as the freshman lawmaker seeks to hold a competitive House district Democrats are seeking to flip in November’s midterm elections.
Hurd defeated former state Rep. Ron Hanks, R-Colo., in the Republican primary for a sprawling House district covering nearly all of western and southern Colorado, according to The Associated Press.
Hurd ran with President Donald Trump’s endorsement after the president initially revoked his support, following Hurd joining Democrats in support of a largely symbolic measure terminating Trump’s Canada tariffs in February.

Trump later re-issued his endorsement in March and asked Navy veteran Hope Scheppelman, who was challenging Hurd from the right, to suspend her campaign and join his administration. Scheppelman, a former vice chair of the state’s Republican Party and acute care nurse, now serves as a senior advisor on substance abuse in the Department of Health and Human Services.

“I will be fully supporting Jeff’s Re-Election to the House of Representatives, giving him my Complete and Total Endorsement!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Every true MAGA supporter and Republican, if they truly care about saving our Country, will do everything in their power to unify together, and defeat the Crazed Radical Left Democrats this November.”
Following Scheppelman’s exit, Hanks entered the Republican primary to challenge Hurd. He previously ran against Hurd in the 2024 GOP primary, where the now-incumbent lawmaker won with just over 40% of the vote.
Hanks, an Air Force veteran, has alleged, without evidence, that former President Joe Biden was “fraudulently elected.” He was also present during the Jan. 6 riots, though he said he did not enter the U.S. Capitol complex and was not criminally charged.
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., previously represented the Republican-leaning district before moving across the state in 2024 to run for a more Republican-leaning seat in eastern Colorado.

Businessman Alex Kelloff and Army veteran Dwayne Romero are seeking the Democratic nomination.
Democrats are hoping to unseat Hurd after he won Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District by just five points in 2024. The GOP-leaning district contains Democratic strongholds concentrated in several wealthy ski towns and Pueblo.
Hanks cast Hurd as a “fake conservative” in an interview with The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel and insufficiently loyal to the president.
Hurd has bucked Trump on tariff policy and a Russia sanctions package, but he has voted with the president on most high-profile pieces of legislation.
He also joined Boebert in a failed vote to override Trump’s veto on a water pipeline project in Colorado’s Arkansas Valley.
