In February, Hurd voted with Dems to require background checks on all firearms sales and to end U.S. military assistance to Saudi-led forces in the Yemen civil war. In January, he backed the push to stop Trump from relaxing sanctions on Russian companies linked to a Putin pal. — PolitiTweet.org

In May, Hurd split with his party to vote for a disaster-relief bill that included more aid money for Puerto Rico than Trump wanted to provide for the commonwealth. In March, he backed the resolution opposing Trump’s ban on openly transgender people serving in the military. — PolitiTweet.org

In June, Hurd broke with House Republicans to vote for a bill – doomed in the Senate – that would create a pathway to citizenship for the “dreamers,” those undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as children. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Hurd was one of 14 House Republicans to vote for the resolution of disapproval to overturn Trump’s national emergency declaration. He says the wall is a bad idea. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

There have been warning signs that Hurd planned to retire. On key votes so far this year, Hurd has sided with Trump only 51% of the time. In the previous two years, Hurd took Trump’s side 95% of the time on votes that mattered. https://t.co/DkipL5Yg9i — PolitiTweet.org

“When you look at trends, the two-largest growing groups of voters are Latinos and young people,” Will Hurd told our Robert Moore. “And we know what the broader trends are happening there.” — PolitiTweet.org

In an interview with The Post last night, Will Hurd warned that Democrats have a chance of carrying Texas in the 2020 presidential election. That would be the first time since Jimmy Carter did so in 1976. https://t.co/DkipL5Yg9i — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Will Hurd (R-Tex.) on the GOP: “This is a party that is shrinking. ... Why is that? It’s real simple. Don’t be a racist. Don’t be a misogynist. Don’t be a homophobe. These are real basic things that we all should learn when we were in kindergarten." https://t.co/DkipL5Yg9i — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Will Hurd has sounding the alarm, but he’s found GOP leaders unreceptive and afraid of crossing Trump. “If you’re at the age of 40 in most places across this country, you have to whisper that you’re a Republican,” he lamented at a Log Cabin Republicans Pride Month event. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Justin Amash, whose father is Palestinian and whose mother is Syrian, quit the GOP last month after endorsing Trump’s impeachment. The president promised to support a primary challenge to the libertarian-minded congressman. — PolitiTweet.org

Of the 250 Republicans in Congress, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott is poised to be the only African American Republican left after Will Hurd's retirement and Mia Love's defeat last year. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Hurd’s departure puts in stark relief the degree to which the GOP’s diversity problems – a serious challenge for decades – have grown way worse since Trump took over and pushed the party in a more nativist, exclusionary direction. https://t.co/DkipL5Yg9i — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

One of the four House Republicans who voted to condemn Trump's racist tweets is Brooks. She also serves as the NRCC's recruitment chair. She’s one of just 13 female House Republicans. And she's retiring. Another, Martha Roby of Alabama, announced her retirement last Friday. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Will Hurd, retiring at age 41, was one of four House Republicans to vote for the resolution to condemn Trump’s racist statements about the Squad. There is a growing chance that none of those four GOP dissidents will remain in Congress come 2021. https://t.co/DkipL5Yg9i — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

The lone black Republican in the House announced he will not run for reelection, as Trump escalated his attacks on Baltimore and urban centers during a rally in Ohio. This split screen was a coincidence, but the events are not unrelated. https://t.co/DkipL5Yg9i — PolitiTweet.org
