Business career
Hurley previously owned The JaCy Company which housed SECGrillToppers, a sports licensing/product company. Hurley also worked for the RMD Corporation, owners of Hooters in Alcoa, Tennessee, before transferring to the Knoxville Hooters store on Kingston Pike from 2001 to 2004.
During her campaign for the Tennessee House, Hurley's Hooters experience was criticized, but she defended herself by stating that she wouldn't be the same person without that experience.
Political career
Hurley defeated 18-year Democratic incumbent Dennis Ferguson in 2010 by a vote of 8,833 to 7,834.
In the General Assembly in 2012, Hurley joined with Tennessee Senator Stacey Campfield in sponsoring successful Drug Testing for TANF legislation, commonly known as drug testing for welfare. Hurley opposed Amendment No. 6 to HB2725 by Rep. Johnny Shaw that would have established drug testing of the elected members of the Tennessee General Assembly.
Hurley was elected Tennessee delegate at large, alternate delegate for Randy Boyd, representing 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney and cast her vote for Romney during the National Republican Convention in Tampa, Florida.
Hurley sought re-election in 2012 but lost the August 2, 2012, Republican primary to Kent Calfee. Calfee received 4,609 votes to Hurley's 3,704 votes. He went on to win the general election in November 2012.
Since leaving the state legislature, Hurley has contributed some columns to the Knoxville News Sentinel. In a November 2013 column, she stated that she had been unemployed for 14 months.
