Jeff Hurd was born on August 15, 1979, and was raised in Grand Junction, Colorado, the oldest of three sons. His father was a psychologist who counseled low-income families, and his mother died of cancer while he was in high school.

In the House, Hurd is a member of the Republican Governance Group and chairs the Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs of the Committee on Natural Resources. He also serves on the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
In April 2025 he was one of a dozen Republicans who wrote to House leadership urging them to preserve and strengthen Medicaid, and he was one of six Republicans who voted to rescind tariffs the Trump administration had imposed on Canada.
Hurd and his wife, Barbora, have five children and live in Grand Junction.
