After 16 years in public office, Hurt stepped down from Congress in January 2017 and was invited to Liberty University to work as vice president and founding director of Liberty's Center for Law and Government. In 2019, Hurt was asked to concurrently work as dean of the Helms School of Government at Liberty University.[4]
Prior to representing Virginia's 5th district, Hurt practiced law and served as a citizen-legislator from Southside Virginia, representing Virginia's 19th Senate District for three years and Virginia's 16th House of Delegates District for six years. Prior to his election to the Virginia General Assembly in 2001, Hurt served on the Chatham Town Council and as chief assistant commonwealth's attorney for Pittsylvania County.[4]
