Wesley Hunt is our (suburban Houston) representative who couldn't even get elected back in 2022 until Republicans *further* gerrymandered my district for 2024 until it was unrecognizable
Wesley Hunt (R-TX) who has so far done nothing in Congress -- and with no help from his own members -- now needs this White House help
Wesley Hunt just started campaign ads on TV here, and couldn't come up with a single reason his own party shouldn't primary him next March
