Lifelong Brown County resident and long-time small-business owner, John Hunter, is proud to announce his candidacy for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4 in the upcoming Republican primary election.
For more than 30 years, John has owned and operated Hunter’s Station in Brown County, building a reputation of integrity and service to his customers and community. Under the supervision of the Texas Department of Public Safety, John enjoyed inspecting vehicles and keeping folks safe on the road by enforcing state vehicle laws. This was the beginning of his interest in law and politics. He has served two terms as Republican precinct chair 411 and is still currently serving. He has served in these roles in an honest, humble, and fair manner. He is now aspiring to bring those same values to the office of Justice of the Peace. John attended school in Brownwood and graduated from BHS in 1989. He’s been married to his high school sweetheart, Lisa, for thirty-three years. Together they raised their two children, Kelcie and Bo, right here in Brown County. John has been faithful in civic engagement and active in local church and community service. His deep roots in the county give him a first-hand understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing Precinct 4.
As Justice of the Peace, John’s priorities will include ensuring fair, impartial, and efficient administration of justice within the precinct while keeping local courts accessible, transparent, and respectful to every citizen. He is committed to protecting property rights, supporting law-abiding citizens, and maintaining public safety, all while exercising wise stewardship of taxpayer dollars and promoting common-sense conservative values in the courtroom.
John invites all the good folks of Precinct 4 to join his campaign, share his vision, and help elect leadership that values Texas roots, personal responsibility, and local service. “As a conservative Republican and business owner, I believe strongly in our court system, which includes protecting the rights of individuals, safeguarding families and property, and keeping government accountable and efficient. I’ve invested in this community for decades. Now I want to serve this community in public office. I’m asking for the trust of the people of Precinct 4. Together, we can keep Brown County a good place to live and raise families.” Early voting will be held February 17-27, 2026, and the primary election is March 3, 2026.
