In the race, Hurst was endorsed by Everytown for Gun Safety (the only House of Delegates candidate to receive the endorsement), while his opponent, incumbent Delegate Joseph R. Yost, had an "A" rating and endorsement from the NRA Political Victory Fund.

Hurst also ran on LGBT rights, education, mental health, and Medicaid expansion.

Hurst defeated Yost in the November 2017 election, receiving 54.4% of the vote.

During his first legislative term, Hurst had 15 bills signed into law.

On November 1, 2021, Hurst was issued a notification by Radford police for driving without a license on November 1, 2021 after he and a passenger in his car were witnessed tampering with opponent campaign signs.

He apologized for the incident, remarking that he "flipped over a couple of yard signs, took them, put them upside down and then put them right side up".

He worked with the Northam administration and colleagues across the aisle to pass a transportation package that would fund improvements for Interstate 81.
