Voted nay on H.R. 3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (debt ceiling suspension / spending cuts)) on 2023-05-31: Hunt voted against raising the debt ceiling, joining 71 House Republicans while 149 supported the deal. Default would have devastated the Houston economy—energy, healthcare, and real estate in his district—and jeopardized Social Security and Medicare for constituents. His stated reason was that the deal 'fell short of my expectations' on spending cuts, prioritizing fiscal messaging over constituent material interests in avoiding default.
