Wesley Hunt

US Representative from Texas

Former Army captain and Iraq war veteran Wesley Hunt won the Republican nomination for Houston's newest congressional district in March 2022. He beat a field of nine rivals with well over 50% of the vote, avoiding a runoff. Hunt came within four points of beating Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher in 2020. Since then, state GOP lawmakers carved out a new district, Texas’ 38th, specifically with him in mind. TX-38 stretches from the Energy Corridor in western Harris County northwards to Cypress and Tomball. It includes the most conservative portions of Fletcher’s former 7th district with portions of the deep red 8th district, from which Congressman Kevin Brady is retiring.
