Hope G Scheppelman is running as a Republican for the U.S. House in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, and nine candidates are listed in the contested race.

Scheppelman’s candidate record does not include a biography. It also lists no fundraising total, campaign spending total or cash-on-hand amount. No documented policy positions are on file.

The CO-3 candidate field

The race includes four Democrats, four Republicans and one candidate identified as UN. Jeffrey Hurd is the incumbent. Each candidate has the same gaps in biographical, financial and policy information at this stage.

  • Dwayne Romero, Democrat: No biography, documented policy positions, fundraising total, spending total or cash-on-hand amount is on file.
  • Hope G Scheppelman, Republican: No biography, documented policy positions, fundraising total, spending total or cash-on-hand amount is on file.
  • Steven Michael Winget, Democrat: No biography, documented policy positions, fundraising total, spending total or cash-on-hand amount is on file.
  • Heather MS Barton, UN: No biography, documented policy positions, fundraising total, spending total or cash-on-hand amount is on file.
  • Jason Bias, Republican: No biography, documented policy positions, fundraising total, spending total or cash-on-hand amount is on file.
  • Kyle Doster, Democrat: No biography, documented policy positions, fundraising total, spending total or cash-on-hand amount is on file.
  • Ron Hanks, Republican: No biography, documented policy positions, fundraising total, spending total or cash-on-hand amount is on file.
  • Jeffrey Hurd, Republican and incumbent: No biography, documented policy positions, fundraising total, spending total or cash-on-hand amount is on file.
  • Alexander George Kelloff, Democrat: No biography, documented policy positions, fundraising total, spending total or cash-on-hand amount is on file.

Background and experience

No candidate biography is on file for Scheppelman, Romero, Winget, Barton, Bias, Doster, Hanks, Hurd or Kelloff. That means the candidate listings do not establish details such as employment history, education, previous elected service or community roles for any member of the field.

The one officeholding detail listed is Hurd’s status as the incumbent. An incumbent is the person who currently holds the office. That status does not describe Hurd’s policy positions, and it does not indicate how the election will turn out.

Policy positions

No documented policy positions are on file for any of the nine candidates. Scheppelman’s Republican affiliation identifies a party label, but it does not establish where Scheppelman stands on a particular bill or public issue. The same distinction applies to the Democratic and Republican labels attached to the other candidates and to Barton’s UN designation.

Voters therefore cannot use these candidate records to compare positions on specific issues. Any future comparison will depend on documented positions from the candidates as the election process continues.

Campaign-finance information

No funds-raised, funds-spent or cash-on-hand figures are on file for Scheppelman. The same is true for Romero, Winget, Barton, Bias, Doster, Hanks, Hurd and Kelloff.

Those three figures answer different questions. Funds raised show money received by a campaign, funds spent show campaign expenditures, and cash on hand shows money remaining at a reporting point. None of those figures is listed for any candidate in this race, so there is no financial comparison to make among the nine campaigns here.

The next fixed point in the race is the Colorado general election on Nov. 3, 2026. The candidate field, biographical entries, policy positions and campaign-finance filings are the main records to watch as that date approaches.

What to watch

  • Whether the candidate field changes before the general election
  • Whether candidate biographies and policy positions are posted
  • Whether campaign-finance figures are filed
  • The Nov. 3, 2026, general election
