Lou Hunter, a long-time Missouri City activist, homeowner and reformer, has announced his candidacy for Missouri City Council District B.
He faces incumbent Don Smith and challenger Cynthia Lenton-Gary in a race for the seat.
According to his candidate’s statement, Hunter has spent most of his life in Missouri City and the surrounding area watching many of the changes in the community, as it has become a major Houston suburb. “Like most, he sees much of the growth as a positive move for the area, but recently has noticed the neglect along the Texas Parkway and F.M. 1092 corridors (older areas of our city),” the candidate’s statement said.
“While growth along Highway 6, by the large Houston developers, is positive, much of our city is being neglected”, Hunter said.
As a candidate for district B, Mr. Hunter has vowed not to accept out -of-district special-interest campaign funding, “as has become the norm for many on city council over the years,” his candidate’s statement said. “He will work vigorously to support the hard working men and women (taxpayers and voters) of our city and not the special interests.” . . . get the full piece at http://www.fortbendnow.com/news/2700/lou-hunter-announces-candidacy-for-missouri-city-council-district-b
