Young Black Conservative Lawmakers Changing Republican Party Landscape

Michigan holds Republican and Democratic presidential primaries

First-term House Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, is part of a growing group of young, Black conservative lawmakers who are reshaping the Republican Party. Hunt, a retired Army captain who served in Iraq, believes that more non-White voters will be drawn to the GOP in the future.

In an interview, Hunt expressed his confidence in the evolving face of the Republican Party, stating, 'This is what the party is today. This is the future of the party as well.'

Despite his recent entry into Congress, Hunt has been selected to speak at the upcoming Republican National Convention (RNC), where former President Donald Trump is set to be nominated as the party's candidate for the White House.

Hunt emphasized the importance of increasing diversity within the GOP to align with the changing demographics of the United States. He cited Texas as an example, noting that the state is projected to become a majority-Hispanic state by the next census.
