Hope Scheppelman Suspends 2026 Campaign for U.S. Congress
Washington, D.C. - Today, Hope Scheppelman, candidate for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, announced she has suspended her surging campaign to unseat freshman Republican Jeff Hurd. Citing President Trump’s request to withdraw, Scheppelman put the need to help preserve the Republican Party’s slim majority in the U.S. House and America First ahead of her personal ambitions.
“While my decision was difficult to make, I must put America First and do all I can to help ensure that the radical leaders in today’s Democrat Party do not take this seat and thereby plunge our great country into the destructive chaos we experienced during the Biden-Pelosi era,” said Scheppelman.
“Jeff Hurd now has the opportunity to correct his naive voting record and support President Trump, and our slim Republican majority in the U.S. House, in our shared battle to save the country we love. If he does not, I will run again in 2028 and defeat him in order to give the citizens of Colorado’s 3rd district, and all of America, the representation we deserve,” continued Scheppelman.
“To all my supporters, I encourage you to hold Jeff Hurd’s feet to the fire and demand he do his job to uphold the Constitution and advance the values that are making America great again. Our vigilance to put our country ahead of ourselves is the price we must pay to ensure our freedom and prosperity are preserved for our fellow citizens,” concluded Hope Scheppelman.
