Rep. Jeff Hurd, U.S. Congressman representing Colorado’s Third District, posted a series of updates on his official Twitter account reflecting on his first year in office and recent activities within his district.

On January 16, 2026, Hurd summarized his first year in Congress and highlighted the release of an annual report: “Real wins, real results. 2025 was a great year, #CO03. Looking forward to continuing the fight for you in 2026. If you haven’t had a chance to see our 2025 Annual Report, which outlines my first year in Congress fighting for Colorado’s Third District and holding Washington”.

The following day, January 17, Hurd shared an encounter with a local sports team that had faced recent adversity: “Met with the Central High School wrestling team, a group that has been through a tough year with December’s traveling accident in Denver. We talked about what this sport demands. Wrestling is honest. There’s no clock you can run out and no one to hide behind. The mat tells you”.

Later on January 17, Hurd addressed national security concerns by referencing U.S. relationships with Pacific island nations: “Why does a hearing about Pacific island nations matter here in #CO03? Because national security doesn’t stop at our borders. The United States has long-standing agreements called the Compacts of Free Association (COFA) with three Pacific nations. In return for economic”.

The Compacts of Free Association (COFA) are agreements between the United States and three Pacific island nations—Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Republic of Palau—which allow these countries access to certain U.S. domestic programs and military protection in exchange for strategic military rights and other forms of cooperation ([U.S. Department of State](https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-the-freely-associated-states/)). These compacts have played a significant role in regional security arrangements since their inception.

Hurd’s posts reflect ongoing efforts to communicate legislative priorities and district engagement as he begins his second year representing Colorado’s Third District.
