Robert Hurt at the RPV Advance Luncheon
By Krystle Weeks | Saturday, November 20th, 2010 | PoliticsAfter being introduced by 5th District Chairman, Bill Stanley, Congressman-elect Robert Hurt spoke to the audience at the Republican Party of Virginia Advance Luncheon. Hurt thanked everyone for their support. Hurt began his speech saying that his fellow Freshmen in Congress also are thankful…that he picked 85 out of 85 in the office lottery yesterday.
Hurt mentioned that we must continue to push for accountability and transparency in Congress. Hurt also mentioned that this past election was a very costly election, but he mentioned that it would be those who worked hard on the grassroots front that produced victory during this election cycle.
During the campaign, Hurt said he learned a lot as he traveled to meet with residents in the 22 counties and cities that comprise the 5th District. Hurt mentioned that there was a lot of anger with the excessive government spending at the federal level. Hurt said that there is a need for fewer regulations and lower taxes. Hurt mentioned that common sense legislation is needed now more than ever in Washington.

No offense to Congressman Hurt, but his speech was way way way way way too long. We didn’t need another stump speech. I know it’s hard to transition after such a difficult campaign, but there was no one in that room who doesn’t understand the stakes we face if we don’t fix what’s going on in Washington.
