(19,564 posts)1. Hes currently trying to defend his seat from the Democrats opposing him.
Dont be fooled by Hurd, hes working a game of smoke and mirrors to fool his voters.
You know Republicans by their votes. Look at what Hurd supports.

(25,327 posts)2. He's trying to get re-elected. He's not moderate. He only won by 3,000 votes.
He knows how to talk a certain way too......and it's fake. He votes with Trump 99% of the time.
Rosey Abuabara, chair of TX23 Indivisible, said membership has more than doubled after remaining steady earlier in 2017. She cites Hurds support of Republican-drawn legislation and uncertainty among members about his commitment to protecting the nearly 800,000 young undocumented immigrants in jeopardy from Trumps cancellation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, effective in early March.
He has tried to appear as if hes a moderate hes written up that way and even people we know in Indivisible were happy with him, Abuabara said. But hes not for a clean Dream Act, and hes not doing anything for the DACA people in his district.
She added that she believes that its hard to know what Hurd is up to in Washington. They (his staff) wont tell us how hes going to vote or even which way he is leaning, she said.
