Editor,

How refreshing it was to hear a candidate in today’s political climate share the importance of crossing the aisle and collaborating with
a qualified individual from the other party; to put their constituents before a party and policy over politics.
Jeff Hurd did that at the CD3 debate. To quote Mr. Hurd when asked, “who is a Democrat in the district whose advice you value, and you would turn to if elected?” He replied, “Kathleen Curry lives in Gunnison County is a well-regarded Democrat in that part of the district. She and I don’t agree on everything, but when it comes to water and agriculture, there is a lot I could rely on her for.”
