Reformer Hunter Announces Run for Missouri City Council District B

Lou Hunter, Long-time Missouri City Activist, Announces for City Council District B!!!

Lou Hunter, a long-time Missouri City activist, homeowner and reformer has announced his candidacy for city council district B. Mr. Hunter has spent most of his life in Missouri City and the surrounding area watching many of the changes here in our 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 Pkwy and 1092 corridors (older areas of our city). "While growth along hwy 6, by the large Houston developers is positive, much of our city is being neglected", said Hunter.

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. "He will work vigorously to support the hard working men and women (taxpayers and voters) of our city and not the special interests."


At a recent community focus group meeting Mr. Hunter set out some of the principles of his candidacy:

→ “Restoring honesty and integrity to our local council and especially with regard to the administration.”

→ “Reviewing city ordinances that negatively impact home and property values or shift the burden in the wrong direction.”

→ “Pledging not to accept out-of-area special interest contributions and to represent this community’s wants and needs.”

→ “Retaking local control from the special interests now operating and profiting in our community.”

→ “Real tax relief that keeps quality of life as its core principle.”

→ “Reduce disparity in development in some areas of Missouri
City. The focus of a new administration would be on protecting homeowners’ value throughout Missouri City, and not just newer areas.”

→ “A greater concern for the natural environment and development concerns (a more eco friendly strategy
through incentives).”

→ “Review of fast-track privileges for corporations instituting negative PR models here locally.”

→ Long-term planning with real citizen input from area neighborhoods prior to final council decisions/votes.”

→ “And a committee to review the possibility of term limits for all council members.”


Lou Hunter will spend the next few months block walking and getting out to meet his neighbors so that they can express their concerns and what they would like to see here in our city.

Good luck Lou!!!
