Former combat veteran running for Congress hopes to help diversify Republican Party
Former U.S. Army Captain Wesley Hunt is campaigning to take back a House seat in Texas that flipped blue in 2018.
Former U.S. Army Captain Wesley Hunt said Tuesday that Republican values resonate in the African-American community, explaining why he’s challenging a freshman Democrat for her House seat in Texas.
“What I see is that we need to have good candidates and I think that’s why I am sitting here today. We need to provide examples for people to see so they can say that, you know, an African-American home is pretty conservative. It’s just our message isn’t resonating because we don’t have the candidates to get that message back to our homes,” Hunt told “Fox & Friends.”
Hunt said that African-Americans need to have “good candidates“ to provide examples that reflect conservative values.
“It’s not an identity politics thing. It’s more of a values thing and how do we take that to our community is something I will fight hard to do,” he said.
Hunt, a combat veteran who has a military background of over 20 years and a family with a deep history of military service, is campaigning to take back a Houston-area House seat in Texas that flipped blue in 2018.
