Rep. Will Hurd, the Only Black Republican House Member, to Retire from Congress
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Texas, Congressmember Will Hurd said Thursday he will not seek
re-election in 2020. Hurd is the only black Republican in the House of
Representatives; last month he was one of just four House Republicans to
vote in favor of a resolution condemning President Trump's racist
attacks on four freshman congresswomen of color.
