“From his start in local politics on the Chatham Town Council to his tenure in the General Assembly and three terms in Congress, Robert Hurt has made a strong mark on his community. I’m proud of our work across the aisle to help move projects like Commonwealth Crossing Business Center and Berry Hill Mega Park forward, and I’m grateful for his partnership as we continue to fight back against attempts to derail the construction of an embassy security training facility at Fort Pickett.”
U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) released the following statement on today’s announcement by U.S. Rep. Robert Hurt (R-Va.) that he will not seek reelection next year:
