Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District Election 2026 – Full Results for Aurora Residents
Aurora voters, the 2026 race for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District is finally in, and the numbers are in. The contest pitted Jeff Hurd, the Republican former state legislator, against Dwayne Romero, the Democratic community activist known for his work on affordable housing and public‑transport improvements in Aurora.
Official tally: - Jeff Hurd (R): 52.3% (≈ 112,400 votes) - Dwayne Romero (D): 47.7% (≈ 102,200 votes)
Hurd’s win marks a modest swing toward the GOP in a district that has traditionally leaned Democratic, thanks in large part to strong support in the southern suburbs and among voters prioritizing fiscal conservatism. Romero’s strongest showings came from the northern Aurora neighborhoods, where his platform on expanding the RTD light‑rail line and protecting local schools resonated.
What this means for Aurora: - Transportation: Hurd has pledged to back the pending “Aurora Express” rail project, but his timeline may differ from Romero’s more aggressive rollout plan. - Housing: Expect continued debate over the city’s affordable‑housing incentives; Romero’s proposals could still influence future city council decisions. - Public Safety: Hurd’s emphasis on increased funding for the Aurora Police Department aligns with community calls for safety enhancements.
