Dr. Hurst has been an outspoken advocate for rural Iowa and seniors. He has been featured internationally on programs such as NPR, CNN, Yahoo Finance as a frontline practitioner in rural Iowa and as an authority on the devastation of the Covid crisis on our seniors.
Dr. Hurst grew up in a military family. He was born on a US military base in Wiesbaden, Germany, and moved with his family until they settled in the rural Midwest during his primary years. He is married with 4 children in their blended household. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Nebraska Omaha and graduated from the University of Nebraska Medical Center as a Medical Doctor in 2006.
He is a physician, advocate, and founding member of the Indivisible movement of Iowa and Nebraska. Dr. Hurst actively shaped the Indivisible revolution in rural Iowa by leading actions to achieve Medicare for All, to raise wages, and support labor unions by fighting against collective bargaining limitations.
- Healthcare: Every American deserves access to quality, affordable and reliable healthcare. I’m committed to fighting for reforms that improve access to care in Iowa, reign in the costs, and ensure that no matter what you do for a living or where you do it, you can find and afford care for your family.
- Jobs: Iowans take pride in being hard workers, committed to serving their community and family. As Iowa’s Senator I would fight for jobs that not only put food on the table today, but that solve the major crises facing our nation. Through good paying jobs and careers that rebuild our communities, and a little grit, we can empower marginalized communities and slow the pace of climate change.
- Rural Recovery: Our nation needs major investments everywhere, but for too long rural America has taken a backseat. For decades we’ve seen our schools consolidate, our hospitals close, and the promise of high speed internet cross county lines via grant money here and there. The piecemeal approach wont work. I’m ready to fight for broad legislation that will invest in and revitalize rural America for the long haul.
... We believe every American deserves access to quality, affordable and reliable healthcare.
... We want a sustainable environment of clean air, prosperous soil, and fresh waterways
... W want our rural communities to thrive
... We want a fair wage for an honest day’s work no matter our gender, our age, or the color of our skin
... We deserve safe communities and
... We all believe that equality of opportunity, privilege, and property is essential for success
The growth of Indivisible; its impact and its future, unfolds in this linear tale starting with the outcome of the 2016 US election and is woven with my reflections on my development as an activist. Key moments of influence and the life lessons that brought me to a place of action and leadership parallel the movement’s own growth. With time reflecting on recent experiences as a medical missionary in Jamaica, back to college as an anti-apartheid activist, and through my upbringing in a military family, this is the story of success in face of often painful challenges.Amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Z7DWYV6/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0

Faith
To afford this school, my parents made sacrifices. I also agreed to work off part of my tuition. For the first two years, I swept floors, emptied trash, vacuumed carpet, and performed any other tasks required. It instilled a respect for those who do this work on a daily basis and I developed pride in the outcome of our labors. Some of my most memorable educators from school were the women and me who attended to our facility's needs.
I was also privy to the disrespect my fellow classmates showed to these workers. Most of my classmates came from places of privilege and as young teens were attempting to define themselves and nurture their egos. I cannot remember any of the ones who were condescending. It was the students who showed respect and gratitude that made the impression on me. It is those peers whose names I recall to this day.
