While most people complain about politicians who break promises and play political games, Daniel Hunt decided to do something about it. The longtime Republican grassroots leader is challenging incumbent Cody Harris for Texas House District 8 after Harris broke quorum with 25 other Republicans and then voted with Democrats to install Dustin Burrows as Speaker.
Daniel Miller sits down with Hunt to discuss what pushed him from county party chairman to candidate. Hunt brings decades of Republican Party experience – from walking blocks for Reagan in 1984 to serving as county chair in multiple counties to his current role on the State Republican Executive Committee for Senate District 3.
But Hunt’s candidacy represents something bigger than one race. As a Texas First Pledge signer, he’s committed to giving Texans a vote on independence. His campaign highlights the rural Texas issues often ignored by Austin politicians – from property tax elimination to protecting local water rights from Dallas speculators to supporting small businesses over corporate interests.
Hunt explains how his district’s water supply is being threatened by mass extraction operations shipping East Texas water to urban areas, why his current representative failed to address the issue during the legislative session, and how the political establishment in Austin has the same centralizing mentality that Texans fought against in 1836.
This is grassroots politics at work – someone who knows the system, understands how it’s broken, and is willing to challenge incumbents who prioritize political games over representing their constituents.
