Hurley Finds Calling in Faith Law and Family Ties
Valedictorian in 1976 Hurley shifted from Kansas State to agricultural economics earning 1980 degree. He left wheat farming as debts rose, found purpose through a law career via a top national LSAT score and a KU Law scholarship. Conversion to Christianity followed a college friend’s guidance. He married Christine Stewart in 1982, fostered two children, then added five biological kids on a Fayette County dairy farm, cherishing family as core.

Hurley's political rise rooted in Iowa GOP activism
Hurley engaged in college politics and Iowa GOP events after a 1984 push by his father-in-law. He nearly defeated Don Avenson in 1988, then won the seat when Avenson left for governor. He portrays a pro-life, family-centered agenda, supports parental notification, opposes same-sex marriage, and seeks to tighten rape laws and divorce reform while criticising university policies and promoting conservative revival.
