Campaign websiteHunt's campaign website stated the following:Supporting President TrumpWhen President Trump announced his decision to run for President in 2022, I was the first in Texas, and the entire country, to endorse Donald J. Trump for President on November 15th, 2022. Now, I’m fighting alongside President Trump to codify DOGE cuts, secure our border, and fight for economic prosperity for all Texans.Cutting Fraud, Waste, and AbusePresident Trump and Elon Musk discovered tens of billions of dollars worth of fraud, waste, and abuse under President Biden. I supported DOGE from day one and voted to codify the wasteful spending that DOGE uncovered.Securing Our Southern BorderDuring Biden’s presidency, I was an outspoken critic of the atrocities that were happening along our southern border. Now, I’m fighting alongside President Trump to deploy our military to the border, label Mexican Drug Cartels as Terrorists, and support Tom Homan in his efforts to deport Biden’s illegal immigrants.Slashing America’s National DebtThe single greatest existential threat the United States is our national debt. We currently have over $37 trillion in debt, and in 2024, for the first time in our nation’s history, interest payments exceed what the United States spends annually on our military. We must stop Washington’s addiction to bloated spending.Fighting the Left’s Woke AgendaThe Woke Mind Virus spread widely during Joe Biden’s presidency, leading to mandatory COVID vaccinations, defunding the police, and gender transition surgeries for minors. In the Senate, none of this will ever happen again on my watch.PRO 2ND AMENDMENTAs a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment and gun owner, I will support our right to defend ourselves and our families.STANDING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENTOur men and women in blue risk their lives every day to keep our communities safe. I will stand with them against the radical liberals in the Senate seeking to defund them.PRO LIFEAs the father of 3 young beautiful children, I believe each life is a precious gift in the image of God. As your Senator, I will always protect the rights of the unborn.DEFEND ELECTION INTEGRITYI flew 55 missions in Iraq to defend our right to free and fair elections. I’ll support Voter ID and other measures to make sure all legal registered voters can have faith that their vote is counted.Unleashing American EnergyAs the Energy Congressman of the World, I fully understand the importance of Oil and Gas in America’s future. Our leaders should be focused on energy addition, not energy transition. The United States produces the cleanest and safest oil and gas found anywhere in the world and we should be drilling more of it, not less.Defending IsraelIsrael is American’s one true ally in the Middle East and should have every right to defend itself against hostile actors, including Hamas. Iran should have no path to a nuclear weapon while its proxies in the Middle East should all be labeled as terrorist organizations. America must defend Israel.Aiding Houston Flood MitigationHouston has long suffered from tragic flooding disasters and it’s about time Congress fix this issue. Rather than expand the Buffalo Bayou, tunnels must be built underneath Houston that guide excess water into the Houston Ship Channel.— Wesley Hunt's campaign website (November 19, 2025)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

Hunt's campaign website stated the following:

SECURING THE BORDER

As a sovereign Nation, we have a right and responsibility to maintain and defend our borders. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are allowing our southern border to be overrun by the cartels and drug and human smugglers. In Congress, I will support fully securing our border and completing the border wall.

STANDING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT

Our men and women in blue risk their lives every day to keep our communities safe. I will stand with them against the radical liberals in Congress seeking to defund them.

PRO LIFE

I am Pro Life and believe each life is a precious gift in the image of God. As your Congressman, I will protect the rights of the unborn.

STOP WASTEFUL SPENDING

The Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress are saddling future generations with crippling levels of debts and driving up inflation to fund their liberal priorities. I will stand against these massive spending sprees and force our government to live within it’s means.

DEFEND ELECTION INTEGRITY

I flew 55 missions in Iraq to defend our right to free and fair elections. I’ll support Voter ID and other measures to make sure all legal registered voters can have faith that their vote is counted.

FLOOD INFRASTRUCTURE

For Houstonians, hurricanes, flooding and natural disasters are a constant threat. Hurricane Harvey and other recent flooding have devastated the greater Houston area as well as other parts of Texas. As your Congressman, I will tirelessly work to create solutions that limit future damage to life and property.

PRO 2ND ADMENDMENT

As a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment and gun owner, I will support our right to defend ourselves and our families.

STAND WITH ISRAEL

I am committed to supporting our strongest ally and oldest friend in the Middle East.[5]

Hunt’s campaign website stated the following:

Defeating the Green New Deal and defending Houston’s Energy Jobs

Houston is the energy capital of America. The energy industry employs hundreds of thousands in Texas. These jobs that are the heart and soul of Houston’s economy are under threat from extreme liberals in Washington.

Now more than ever we need a strong energy sector to drive Houston’s economic engine. I won’t be afraid to stand up for those jobs and lead the fight against the extreme anti-energy policies of Washington special interests and the radical Green New Deal to keep Houston’s economy running strong.

Lowering Taxes

The American people are overtaxed, especially the middle class. I supported the 2017 Tax Reform bill, which lowered Texans’ average tax bill by more than $2,500 per year. That’s almost $200 more each month that Texas families can spend on groceries, bills or savings for college. Lizzie Fletcher and Nancy Pelosi are fighting to repeal the tax bill and raise taxes on middle class families.

In Congress, I’ll vote to make these individual tax cuts permanent. I’ll also look for other opportunities to lower taxes for middle class Americans and eliminate the special interest tax breaks and loopholes that make the tax system less fair.

Securing our Southern Border

Illegal immigration is an issue of national security, and it’s resulting in a humanitarian crisis. We are a generous country, but we also believe in the rule of law, securing our borders and protecting American workers. I support enforcing our immigration laws while increasing funding for border security to ensure that we know who is coming in and out of our nation.

I don’t support any effort for amnesty to those here already. There are thousands of immigrants waiting in line to enter our country legally. Giving amnesty to those who have broken the law sends the wrong message and unfairly punishes those who are going through the process legally.

Preventing Future Flooding

Two years ago, Hurricane Harvey struck Houston, devastating our city. We need to work together to make sure that those who still have not recovered from past storms get the resources they were promised. Congress allocated funding but it is taking too long for that funding to get to Houstonians in need. I promise to work across the aisle and establish relationships with the departments in charge to speed up funding to those who still need help.

We also need to prioritize future funding. That means fighting for research to study underground tunnel mitigation to make sure that water can flow freely into the Gulf, and to widen the existing tunnels and bayous. I’ll make sure that funding allocated to Houston actually gets here. On my first day in office, I’ll sponsor a bill that states that any infrastructure funding related to flood mitigation in Houston will have a single point of contact with the federal government and will require only one signoff.

Reducing the Cost of Health Care

The rising cost of health care impacts middle class families in the 7th District and across the nation. After Obamacare was passed, premiums increased by 48%. I believe that there are free-market solutions that will lower the cost of care while protecting those with pre-existing conditions. I support:

Permanently removing the individual mandate.

Allowing insurance to be sold across state lines to increase competition and lower prices. If an Oklahoma company can provide a better price to Texans, then they should be allowed to do so.

Allowing generic pharmaceuticals to compete on the market to lower the price of back-breaking name brand products.

Millions of Americans receive their insurance from their place of work. I will protect employer-sponsored health insurance from attempts by the extreme liberals to ban it in favor of a government run, single-payer system.

Preventing Future Spending

The United States has a spending problem. Right now, our reckless spending is saddling future generations with a crippling debt. If we’re going to continue being the leading world power in the 21st century, we need to get our fiscal house in order. That’s why I support the Balanced Budget Amendment, which would force the government to live within our means. We can’t continue putting our children at risk with our lack of fiscal restraint.
