Dwayne Romero is leading in the early count of the Colorado US House 3 Democratic Primary with 55.1% of the vote, according to Decision Desk HQ. Romero, a former U.S. Army Ranger and Aspen city councilmember, has emerged ahead of his main competitor, businessman Alex Kelloff. This primary outcome designates Romero as the Democratic nominee, who will challenge the Republican incumbent, Jeff Hurd, in the general election scheduled for November 3, 2026. The district, which includes Colorado’s rural Western Slope and Pueblo, is traditionally Republican-leaning.
Market data reflects this development, with prediction markets adjusting to Romero’s apparent victory. Prior to the update, markets had shown some volatility, with Romero’s odds fluctuating significantly. The latest results appear to support an increase in confidence for a YES outcome regarding Romero securing the nomination.
