U.S. Rep. Will Hurd, R-Helotes, is getting his first major Democratic challenger for re-election in Texas’ swing 23rd Congressional District.

Gina Ortiz Jones, a former Air Force intelligence officer, entered the race Wednesday, wading into a potentially crowded primary field for a shot at Hurd, who is widely viewed as the most vulnerable Republican member of Congress from Texas.

Jones said she was inspired to come home to San Antonio and run for Congress after witnessing up close the opening months of Donald Trump’s presidency as a director in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, which operates from within the Executive Office of the President.

A lot of people don't want to use HuffPost because of the annoying ads.
