Former Congressman Tom Tancredo Endorses Hope Scheppelman in GOP Primary for Colorado’s 3rd District
“Jeff Hurd is clearly the problem with Congress, while Hope is the solution.”
Bayfield, Colorado: Colorado’s own Tom Tancredo, retired U.S. Congressman and national leader to stop illegal immigration crimes, announced he is backing Hope Scheppelman for Congress in her 2026 Republican Primary election against freshman Jeff Hurd in Colorado’s 3rd District.
“Too many say-anything, lawyer-politicians like Jeff Hurd get elected by tricking voters with millions in fake ads, then go to Congress and betray the very voters they are supposed to represent. Jeff Hurd is clearly the problem with Congress, while Hope Scheppelman is the solution,” said Tom Tancredo.
“With Hope Scheppelman we get a proven conservative fighter who will expose the anti-Trump radicals like Jeff Hurd in BOTH political parties who refuse to abide by the will of voters to stop illegals who skip the line, refuse to stand up against the entrenched federal bureaucrats, and who refuse to get tough on the shameful waste, fraud, and abuse of our tax dollars,” continued Congressman Tancredo.
A military veteran, medical professional, and successful grassroots advocate for taking power away from Washington D.C. insiders to give it back to the citizens of America, Hope Scheppelman offers the people of Colorado’s 3rd District faithful and principled leadership that will back President Trump’s mandate to reform our broken government.
“I’m honored to have earned the confidence of a great American like Tom Tancredo, who has been MAGA long before the rest of us knew what to call it,” said Scheppelman.
“Congressman Tancredo’s trust and support to help me fix the country we love is a testament to the voters of CD3 who know we must band together to defeat the big-government, anti-Trump elitists who are getting richer and more powerful off the backs of regular taxpayers like us,” continued Scheppelman.
“With respect for the God who made us all and our US Constitution as by sole guides, I will fight for regular folks like us who have been tricked for too long by sell-out, say-anything politicians like Jeff Hurd,” concluded Hope Scheppelman.
KEN DEGRAAF
Colorado House Rep. Ken DeGraaf(R) backs Hope Scheppelman in GOP Primary Against Jeff Hurd
Today, a top leader of the conservative caucus in the Colorado General Assembly, Rep. Ken DeGraaf, announced his full and complete support for Hope Scheppelman in her race to replace freshman Jeff Hurd in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.
Citing Rep. Jeff Hurd’s recent vote in support of radical Democrat Ilhan Omar’s slander against Charlie Kirk, and Hurd’s co-sponsoring of Democrat land grabs on Colorado’s Western Slope, Rep. DeGraaf declared:
“Without out-of-control Democrats like Ilhan Omar in Congress and appeasement Republicans like Jeff Hurd supporting them against Trump’s mandate from the voters, we need authentic Republicans like Hope Scheppelman fighting for We the People in the US House.” Rep. Ken DeGraaf (R)
Encouraged by her groundswell of grassroots support and authentication from many fellow conservative leaders in Colorado, like Ken DeGraaf and Tom Tancredo, Hope was quick to thank those who are helping her fight for everyday taxpayers who are being ignored and forgotten by Jeff Hurd.
“Coloradans like me greatly admire Rep. DeGraaf because he serves the people and obeys the Constitution, not the corrupt, anti-Trump insiders like Jeff Hurd who are responsible for the mess we are in,” said
“My support is coming directly from the leadership vacuum that Jeff Hurd has left behind when he went to work in Congress against regular folks like us just to make himself and his insider buddies richer,” continued Scheppelman.
“I won’t rest until we save the country we love and uphold the law of the land so that every good-faith American can succeed and be free of big-government waste, corruption, and abuse,” concluded Hope Scheppelman.
Calling on all Coloradans to join the Hope Scheppelman for Congress campaign, Rep. DeGraaf concluded by stating:
“Please join me, and thousands of other grassroots conservatives across Colorado, to support Hope Scheppelman in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.” Rep. Ken DeGraaf(R)
