Rep. Jeff Hurd, U.S. Representative for Colorado’s 3rd congressional district, recently used his social media platform to highlight several issues affecting his district and legislative actions he is taking.
On March 17, 2026, Hurd wrote about a meeting with aviation stakeholders: “Met with Dylan Heberlein of Grand Junction Regional Airport and members of the Colorado Airport Operators Association to discuss the role regional airports play across #CO03. These airports are essential to keeping rural communities strong and competitive. They connect”.
The following day, March 18, 2026, Hurd acknowledged National Agriculture Week in another post: “This week is National Agriculture Week, and I’m glad to recognize the farmers, ranchers, and producers who keep #CO03 running.

Colorado’s 3rd congressional district includes many rural areas where agriculture plays a significant economic role. Regional airports serve as important infrastructure for these communities by facilitating travel and commerce. In addition to supporting local industries like farming and aviation through public recognition and meetings with stakeholders, Rep. Hurd has also worked on legislation aimed at supporting Native American tribes in wildlife management.
