WASHINGTON — The powerful GOP fundraising arm of the Senate is urging Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Houston, to stop teasing a primary challenge for U.S. Senate and to back incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in a scathing memo calling his speculative bid a “vanity project.”
Hunt, a second-term congressman, tested the waters of a Senate bid this summer through television advertisements introducing him to voters across Texas, including in Dallas, San Antonio and Waco. Groups supporting Hunt and his own campaign poured more than $3 million into the ads.
