Inside the Texas Republican group

Texas Republicans form the chamber's largest state party bloc and hold to the conference line closely. Hunt exceeds their internal average, though not dramatically.

Among the 24 Republicans in the Texas delegation, the average rate of voting against the party majority is 6.0%. Wesley Hunt is above that average at 6.8%.

What he legislates on

Crime, energy and immigration lead his classified bills in equal measure. Two filings concern congressional civics specifically — an act on the subject and a proposed constitutional amendment requiring members of Congress to demonstrate competence in American civics, an unusual thing for a sitting member to propose about himself and his colleagues. Others cover defence infrastructure protection, state protection against invasion, and temporary protected status reform. One of his bills has become law.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Wesley Hunt's cluster into: Crime and Law Enforcement (5), Energy (5), Immigration (5), Law (4), Congress (2), Government Operations and Politics (2).
