Houston, TX – Wesley Hunt, Houston native, Army combat veteran, and Republican candidate for Congress, released the following statement on his endorsement from the Texas Fraternal Order of Police. 

“Texas law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every single day to protect our communities, and it is imperative that we have representatives in Congress willing to stand up for our men and women in blue. Wesley Hunt will fight tirelessly to ensure our communities and law enforcement officers are safe, which is why we’re proud to support his race for Congress in Texas’ 38th Congressional district,” said Texas FOP President, Karla Pruneda. 

Wesley Hunt expressed his gratitude for the support of the Texas FOP.

“It is an absolute honor to have the support of the Texas FOP. The dramatic rise in crime in Houston over the past year has only made the jobs of our law enforcement officers more difficult, and more dangerous, and it is time for someone to have their backs in Washington,” said Wesley Hunt. “If elected, I will fight tirelessly to ensure Texas law enforcement has the necessary funding and resources to keep our communities safe, while also keeping themselves safe too. I will be a tireless advocate for our men and women in blue.”
