Congressman Hurd’s constituents would like a word with him. As Republicans in Washington are preparing to repeal the Affordable Care Act without a replacement and President Trump is moving ahead with his border wall and deportation force, Congressman Hurd is nowhere to be found.
“Texans are concerned about Republican plans to take health care away from thousands with no plan for a replacement and they’re upset that Congressman Hurd is ignoring them while Republicans in Congress march in lock step with President Trump’s reckless agenda,” said DCCC spokesperson Javier Gamboa. “There is too much on the line for Texas families for Congressman Hurd to hide from his constituents. It’s time for him to do his job and hold a public town hall.”
