Advocate for Colorado water users, remove water-guzzling invasive species, change federal permitting rules for water projects, and work closely with the agriculture community.

Jeff will be that voice. Separately, hell also push to eradicate water-guzzling and non-native plant species like the tamarisk. Hell target specific changes to federal law permitting processes that allow development of critical Colorado water projects that benefit rural Colorado. Most importantly, Jeff will always work closely with Colorados agriculture community.

Commits to water-policy advocacy, invasive-species removal, permit reform, and agricultural consultation.

Issues — Jeff Hurd for Colorado
campaign · campaign_site · model gpt-5.4-mini

The campaign water section promised that Hurd would be Colorado's House voice on water, push lower Colorado River Basin users to live within their means, eradicate non-native water-intensive plants such as tamarisk, target federal permitting-law changes for critical Colorado water projects, and listen to agriculture water users and providers.

Establishes the full campaign promise being assessed: water-user advocacy, invasive species removal, water-project permitting reform, and agriculture engagement.

Issues — Jeff Hurd for Colorado
campaign · model gpt-5.5 · confidence 96%

Hurd's official House site says he serves on Natural Resources, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Science committees; Transportation subcommittees include Water Resources and Environment, and his caucuses include Western Caucus vice chair.

His committee and caucus assignments put him in venues relevant to water, natural resources, infrastructure, and western agriculture issues, supporting advocacy capacity but not completing the substantive promises by themselves.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Jeff Hurd as sponsor of H.R.3901, introduced June 11, 2025. The latest action was referral to the Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee on June 13, 2025; status remained Introduced.

This is concrete action toward changing federal water-related permitting processes, but as of the record it had not passed either chamber or become law.

The bill text directs the Army Secretary, through the Corps of Engineers, to eliminate backlogs for Clean Water Act section 404 permit applications and jurisdictional-determination requests existing as of June 5, 2025.

The bill text directly matches the permitting-reform component of the promise, though the bill remained only introduced.

Congress.gov lists Hurd as sponsor of H.R.2316 and shows it became Public Law No. 119-40 on November 25, 2025 after passing the House and Senate.

Hurd delivered an enacted natural-resources and wetlands conservation law. It supports water/ecosystem advocacy generally, but it does not prove the specific tamarisk or invasive-species removal promise was fulfilled.

The CRS summary says H.R.2316 delays until FY2033 the availability of interest earned by the Federal Aid to Wildlife Restoration Fund for certain state wildlife conservation and restoration programs.

This clarifies the enacted bill's substance: conservation funding timing, not direct removal of water-guzzling invasive species.

Congress.gov lists Hurd as sponsor of H.R.3857, introduced June 10, 2025. The bill was reported by the Natural Resources Committee and placed on the Union Calendar on September 15, 2025, but status remained Introduced.

This is concrete water-supply legislation relevant to Colorado water users, but it had not passed the House or become law as of the cited status.

The bill would reauthorize the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program for FY2027-FY2031 and focus it on snowpack measurement, integrated modeling, and water-supply forecasts for water-management decisions.

The bill text supports advocacy for water users through forecasting and planning tools, but it is not a completed policy outcome unless enacted.

Congress.gov shows H.R.131 passed the House and Senate, was vetoed on December 29, 2025, and failed in the House on January 8, 2026 to pass over the veto, 248-177 with a two-thirds vote required.

A Colorado water-project bill advanced but ultimately failed. This counts against full delivery while showing the broader water-project agenda had concrete legislative activity.
