Evidence
Rep. Jeff Hurd secured $11,007,000 in federal funding for thirteen projects across Colorado’s Third District throughout the FY26 Appropriations process. These bills provide critical resources for water infrastructure, rural healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and public safety departments.
The table lists CO projects requested by Hurd, including Mesa County Lower Valley Public Improvement District for Wastewater System Improvements ($1,250,000), Town of Aguilar for Drinking Water Storage Tanks Replacement ($1,000,000), Town of Ophir for Water Distribution Line Replacements ($600,000), and Town of Silt for Drinking Water Storage Tank Replacement ($1,000,000).
Rep. Hurd Secures Over $11 Million in Funding for Colorado’s Third District in FY26 Appropriations Bills. The official listing says Hurd secured $11,007,000 in federal funding for thirteen projects across Colorado’s Third District, providing resources for water infrastructure, rural healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and public safety departments.
Congress.gov lists H.R. 6938 as becoming Public Law No. 119-74 on January 23, 2026, after House passage 397-28 and Senate passage 82-15. The summary says the bill included FY2026 appropriations for commerce, law enforcement, science, energy and water development, public lands, and the environment.
Public Law 119-74 states that the explanatory statement has the same effect as a joint explanatory statement of a conference committee and appropriates funds for FY2026. For EPA water accounts, the law makes grants available for drinking water, wastewater, storm water infrastructure, and water quality protection for projects specified in the Interior and Environment community project funding table.
Congress.gov lists H.R. 7148 as becoming Public Law No. 119-75 on February 3, 2026. The summary says it includes the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act, 2026, and the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026.
Public Law 119-75 directs that multiple FY2026 amounts be used for projects specified in Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending tables, including HHS health program support projects, education Innovation and Improvement projects, and HUD Economic Development Initiative grants.
The FY27 Interior and Environment CPF table lists Hurd-requested Colorado water projects, including City of Fruita sanitary sewer line replacements, City of Monte Vista wastewater system improvements, Mesa County Lower Valley Public Improvement District wastewater system improvements, Town of Aguilar drinking water storage tanks replacement, Town of Ophir water distribution line replacements, and Town of Silt drinking water storage tank replacement.
Assessments
The promise was to secure federal funding for CO-03 projects in water infrastructure, rural healthcare, education, and public safety. Evidence shows Hurd's office announced $11.007 million for 13 FY2026 district projects matching those categories, and Congress.gov/govinfo evidence indicates the relevant FY2026 appropriations packages became law in January and February 2026 while Hurd was serving in the same federal House term. Later FY2027 requests show continued effort but are not needed for fulfillment because enacted FY2026 funding already satisfies the promised outcome.
The promise was to secure federal funding for district projects in specified categories. Evidence indicates Hurd announced and claimed success in obtaining $11,007,000 in FY26 appropriations for thirteen projects in Colorado’s Third District, explicitly covering water infrastructure, rural healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and public safety departments. That matches the substance of the promise and occurred while he was in office, so same-term delivery is appropriate. Additional FY27 project requests further show continued work, but the FY26 appropriations announcement is sufficient to judge the promise as delivered.
