Congressman Wesley Hunt has officially announced his bid for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat in Texas, setting the stage for a fiercely competitive primary against incumbent Senator John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Hunt’s candidacy introduces a fresh dynamic to a race traditionally dominated by established political figures, signaling a potential shift in the state’s Republican landscape.
