WEAU, 1/24/2022

A Fall Creek Village Trustee since 2021, Hurd looks to replace incumbent Rep. Jesse James, R-Altoona. He announced Friday he’s vacating his assembly seat to for the Wisconsin State Senate. 

A U.S. Army veteran and small business owner, Hurd said her strengths are her abilities to listen and communicate. 

“I’m a mover and a shaker,” she said. “I am very thoughtful, I do tremendous amounts of research, I don’t do knee-jerk reactions. I want all the facts so that we can make a good decision collectively on what is the best for the people of Wisconsin.” 

Hurd said her top priorities include backing the police, protecting the unborn, making sure the state has a balanced budget and helping those who are helpless.

68th Assembly Candidates Discuss Redistricting, Wage Inequality, Jobs.  (Wisconsin Public Radio, 9/24/2018)

Dear James, Your boss, Robin Vos, will tell you it ain't broke; it's what the voters want.  James said before this political race he had no idea about the issue of gerrymandering. He said he wants to keep studying the issue and if elected, he’d be in favor of a non-partisan solution to drawing political districts. 

"The way I look at this: if something’s broke, let’s sit down together collectively and let’s figure it out and let’s fix it." James said. "Any idea and solution is viable and let’s sit down and let’s fix it if it’s broke."
