Wesley Hunt says 'it's time for the next generation' in Senate

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) said the Senate is “not a retirement community” in a swing at Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) on Thursday.

Hunt, along with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, is running against the incumbent senator in the state’s primary race, with Election Day approaching on March 3rd. Hunt, 44, said he is running against Cornyn because “it’s time for the next generation of leadership to step up,” citing how Cornyn, 74, first became a senator in 2002.
