After graduating from St. John's School, he attended the United States Military Academy, where he received a Bachelor of Science in leadership and management with mechanical engineering in 2004.[2] His West Point class of 2004 classmates include U.S. representatives John James and Pat Ryan.[3]

See also: 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas § District 38

A day after redistricted maps were revealed, Hunt announced his intention to run in the new, solidly Republican 38th district.[10] Andrew Schneider of Houston Public Media wrote that "state GOP lawmakers carved out a new district, Texas' 38th, specifically with [Hunt] in mind." Hunt faced nine opponents in the primary election and received over 55% of the vote.[11] He was endorsed by Republican Main Street Partnership PAC[12] He defeated the Democratic nominee, Duncan Klussmann, in the November 8 general election, 63% to 35%.[13]

Tenure

In January 2023, at the beginning of the 118th U.S. Congress, Hunt supported Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.[14] Hunt is on the House Judiciary,[15] Natural Resources[16] and Small Business[16] Committees. On the Small Business Committee he chairs the Rural Development, Energy, and Supply Chains[17]

Hunt has endorsed Donald Trump's campaign in the 2024 presidential election.[18]

Syria

In 2023, Hunt was among 47 Republicans to vote in favor of H.Con.Res. 21, which directed President Joe Biden to remove U.S. troops from Syria within 180 days.[19][20]

Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023

Hunt was among the 71 Republicans who voted against final passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 in the House.[21]

Personal life

Around the time of his arrival in Congress, Hunt's wife, Emily, gave birth to a son, Willie, who was born prematurely and needed time in the neonatal intensive care unit, forcing Hunt to leave the Speaker of the House election on its fourth day, missing the 12th and 13th ballots before returning the same day.[14]

Hunt is a Baptist. He attended Champion Forest Baptist Church, which he has said shaped his beliefs.[22]
