Rep. Jeff Hurd has taken on a challenging position.

In addition to fairly representing the diverse views of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, his job description includes oversight of the executive branch, lawmaking and federal budgetary control.

Add in a polarizing, unstable, lame duck Republican Party leader and the usual set of concerns around reelection and the job get even tougher.

The purpose of this letter is to ask Hurd to please give higher priority to maintenance of his available communication channels: town halls, interviews, issue statements and the tabulation of constituent concerns as expressed through their email contacts at: https://hurd.house.gov/contact

Goodwill and best of luck to Hurd.
