Texas Congressman Will Hurd, whose district comprises one-third of the U.S.-Mexico border headed to New Hampshire Friday, igniting speculation he’s exploring a run for president.
Hurd claims his mission is very different (Fox News).
Rep. Will Hurd of Texas says he’s on a mission to help Republicans try and win back the House of Representatives next year.
“We lost 40 Republican seats in the last election and if want to take back the House, that path comes through New England,” Hurd told Fox News during a quick trip to New Hampshire on Friday.
“With the unique role that New Hampshire plays in our upcoming elections, I want to help build the infrastructure and make sure we’re articulating our values to as many people as we possibly can,” the three term congressman emphasized.
But for Hurd, considered an up-and-comer in the GOP, parachuting into to the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state also sparks some speculation that the former CIA officer may have national designs in 2024.
