Dear Friends,

We are on the way to recovery, despite the slow assistance from FEMA. Our County Judges and Mayors have worked long and hard trying to make sense out of bureaucratic inefficiency. The determination of our citizens makes me proud to be a Southeast Texan. There is still much to do and many long days in front of us. We all know family, friends and neighbors who need assistance in many forms, so I urge you to help in any way you can. Taking in a neighbor who has been displaced by the storm or helping with clean-up , or just offering a simple word of encouragement.  God bless you and your family.

Sincerely,

Larry Hunter

Dear Friends,  

We have all taken a mighty blow.   It may have been the high water.  It may have been the wind that pushed a tree or debris into the house or business.  It may have been the displacement of a frail loved one.  It may have been something far worse.   Years of memories lost in the wind and water.  Now, nightmares have taken their place.   No doubt, Ike hit us hard and knocked us down.  But we’re going to get up.   We will repair and rebuild.  We will be stronger than ever. That’s what we do in Southeast Texas.    

I urge all my supporters to help out their neighbors or to volunteer with the Red Cross, which is where I’ll be as soon I finish my own clean-up job.  

In the meantime, we have compiled a Hurricane Ike Resource Page.  Visit it for answers to your questions and to find resources for assistance during this most difficult time.

May God bless you, your family and all of Southeast Texas!  

Sincerely,  

Larry Hunter

  

 

An Open Invitation From Larry Hunter

My Fellow Citizens of Orange, Newton and Hardin Counties:

 

For years now, we have watched the Texas Legislature fail us time after time after time.

 

Children cut off from their health care.  Schools under funded.  Wasted tax dollars on sweetheart state contracts for campaign contributors.

 

It’s time for the Legislature to start solving problems instead of creating them.  It’s time for practical solutions, not partisan politics.

 

That’s why I am running for State Representative in District 19.  And that’s why I hope you will help me win this important race.

 

This race is important because my opponent, Mike Hamilton, is part of the problem in Austin.  He has cast dozens of votes that hurt the people of District 19, including:

 

• Voting in 2003 for House Bill 2292, which cut off more than 200,000 children from the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
• Voting in 2005 against a budget amendment that would have provided an across-the-board teacher pay raise while also tripling the homestead exemption for property tax payers.

 

Instead of hurting our children, we need to invest in their future with better schools and better health care.  We also need to take steps to create jobs in the local area, improve our highways, make our tax structure fairer, and protect our water supply.

 

As a former mayor, water district president, school board trustee, city attorney, municipal judge, and legal counsel for a regional planning commission, I have the education and experience to effectively represent this District and to address the issues facing our state.  I am a life-long District 19 resident.

 

Over the next several months it is my hope that through this website you and I can get to know each other and you will develop the trust in me that will make it important for you, your family and friends support my campaign and help me become you next State Representative.

 

Thank You,

Larry Hunter
