Hunt Wows GOP Crowd at Lincoln-Reagan Dinner
By Gloria Way
Congressman Wesley Hunt, Republican representing Texas Congressional District 38, was the keynote speaker at the biannual Chambers County GOP Lincoln Reagan Dinner last Thursday evening. Shala Johnson Ponce and Danny Campbell co-chaired the event and Campbell was emcee. Over two hundred guests were enthusiastic about hearing from Hunt who is currently running in the GOP primary for US Senate against Ken Paxton and incumbent John Cornyn.
Hunt, a Houston native, graduated in 2004 from the United States Military Academy at West Point and spent eight years in the Army as an Apache helicopter pilot. Wesley’s service included one deployment to Iraq, where he flew 55 combat air missions, and two deployments to Saudi Arabia as a Diplomatic Liaison Officer. Upon completion of his military service as a Captain, Wesley attended Cornell University and earned a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), a Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.), and a Master of Industrial and Labor Relations (M.I.L.R.).
Wesley has served as a U.S. Congressman since 2023 and sits on the House Natural Resources and Judiciary Committees. In addition to his military and Congressional service, President Trump appointed Wesley to the United States Military Academy Board of Visitors in 2025. Wesley is a lifelong conservative and an active community member who has dedicated his time to military service and volunteer work, protecting our country and improving the Houston area. He and his beautiful wife, Emily, have three children, Victoria, Olivia, and Willie Parish Hunt II.
TGS Cedar Port Industrial Park was the headline sponsor. Other sponsors included Ryan Dagley for County Judge, Josh Fitzgerald for 253rd District Court Judge, Nathan Watkins for State Representative D-23, Linebaugh Dority & Associates, LLP, Busch Sandhop and Baker, LLC, Mike and Loretta Emmons/Marlon and Michelle Davis.
