Mark A. Hunt, Esq.

I’ve already been endorsed by President Trump—
as his personal pick for United States Attorney
with the support of Senators Manchin & Capito.

February 17, 2022

I was blessed to have the honor of serving as the Presidentially-nominated and United States Senate-confirmed United States Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia for nearly four years. It was a tremendous honor to serve as the highest-ranking federal law enforcement officer in southern West Virginia but it was an even greater honor to serve the people of West Virginia. I want to continue to serve albeit in a different capacity.

I just announced my run for the West Virginia State Senate, 7th District. I am writing because I want your support. We need people like me in elective office. Campaigns are expensive and, whether we like it or not, money is often the deciding factor in winning or losing. I need your maximum support- in the primary and in the general election. The fact is that after the primary, you cannot get another ‘bite at the apple.’ If you care about critical issues important to the future of West Virginia, I need your maximum support now.

If I make it through the primary this year, my opponent will be a 16-year, career politician that has been reelected over and over and over and over again. One thing is certain –the liberal special interests will open their deep pockets to help re-elect him. The bad news for my opponent? They’ve never fought someone like me.

The simple fact of the matter is that Republicans have a veto-proof massive majority in the State Senate and the House of Delegates. After the 2022 General Election, those Republican majorities are almost certain to grow. The 16-year career politician will have no voice and no impact on anything that happens in the Senate. He certainly won’t be able to influence the decision makers in the State Senate. Alternatively, there is no question that if I am elected, I will play a major role in crafting and passing the legislation that will impact the State of West Virginia and its people for many years to come. Facts are stubborn things. This is just a fact.
All of this begs one simple question- do you want to support someone who has a strong voice at the table when big impactful decisions are being made or, alternatively, is that not important to you and your stakeholders? The answer is not one of ideology or philosophy or preference. The answer is common sense.

I’ve already been endorsed by President Trump- as his personal pick for United States Attorney, the highest-ranking federal law enforcement official in the judicial district. I am proud that I was personally chosen as the United States Attorney by President Trump, confirmed by the United States Senate including with the support of Senator Manchin and Senator Capito, and served as a member of the Trump Administration.

I was a strong and effective United States Attorney. I broke records. I rebuilt the operations. I aggressively attacked corruption including the historic prosecution of two of the five members of the West Virginia Supreme Court; the largest drug bust in the history of West Virginia; the largest elder fraud takedown in WV history; the largest methamphetamine takedown in West Virginia or Ohio history; and a focus on domestic violence and elder fraud. I reasserted a focus on the rule of law. And I always, always, always “Backed the Blue.” I even proposed the “Back the Blue” license plate and, after it was approved by the Legislature, I was honored by law enforcement with Back the Blue license plate number “0001.”

I may have left the role of being the United States Attorney, but it will never leave me. To this day, I carry in my pocket a wallet filled with the beautiful faces of the victims of the opiate scourge. It is those pictures that haunt me in the silence of the night. It is those pictures that motivate me each day to continue the fight.

I’m not wealthy and wasn’t born with a famous last name. My story could easily be titled, “From a Holler in Barbour County.” I learned everything I needed to know in that holler- faith, the importance of family, character, the value of hard work and public service, “a penny saved is a penny earned”, and a love of America and West Virginia. I grew up with the three “R’s”- reading, writing and a roadmap to Akron. As I grew older, Akron was replaced with Charlotte but the story was the same.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time at my grandparent’s house. They lived in a little white house with a tin roof in that holler in Barbour County. From the front porch, I could look across at the old coal tipple on top of the ridge and, at the base of the hill, was a creek that ran rusty orange from acid mine drainage. Grandma Opal and Grandpa Bud had well water but it was polluted from the sulfur of the creek. I still remember the gallon jugs of clean water that lined the floor for drinking and cooking but they still bathed and washed clothes in the water from the well. I never once heard Grandma Opal or Grandpa Bud complain.

The son and grandson of coal miners and the first in my family to go to college, I loved staying at Opal and Bud’s house. They didn’t have much but their home was always filled with a lot of love and a lively debate- typically about politics. I remember Grandpa Bud had an old recliner that sat next to the coal burning fireplace and on the mantle was a bust of John Kennedy. You could touch anything you wanted in that house but, if you touched the bust of John Kennedy, the hot fire poker from the coal burning fireplace was coming after you. Literally coming for you. Trust me, it happened more than once.

I spent my life with people telling me what I couldn’t do- “you can’t go to college; you can’t grow up the be the Chair of the State Republican Party; you can’t Chair a future American President’s statewide campaign; you can’t be an accountant or an attorney or, for goodness sakes, the United States Attorney; you can’t make a difference and you definitely can’t change West Virginia.” Well, I like proving people wrong. I did and am doing all those things.

I’m a guy that’s had to fight and hustle for every opportunity along my path. I’ve always been the underdog, underestimated and overlooked. Like many of you, I’ve had my share of “wins” and “losses” and I’ve sometimes struggled in the journey. I’ve done everything from shoveling horse manure at a horse farm to waiting tables. I’ve been a paper boy, a hamburger flipper, a ventilation duct installer, a construction worker, a suit salesman, a bartender, an accountant for one of the largest accounting firms in the world, a lawyer for some of the nation’s best firms, and an advisor to Senators and Governors. In the words of the FBI Agent conducting my background check to become the United States Attorney, “It is the longest employment history I’ve ever seen.” I wouldn’t change one thing. My journey built character, passion, drive and determination.

Like my performance as the United States Attorney, I will be a strong and effective State Senator. I will always respect differences of opinion, encourage free and broad debate, and be open to new ideas and new solutions. I will always work with a sense of urgency- our good people deserve nothing less. My door will always be open to you.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to give me your ideas or to just touch base. My personal cell phone number is 304.553.1084. You should feel free to call me anytime.

I’m proud to be “from a holler in Barbour County.” I desperately love the people of my District and West Virginia. I’m passionate about our ability to build a better future for the people of the 7th Senate District and all West Virginians.

I am a lifelong Kanawha County resident.  I graduated from Stonewall Jackson High School on the West Side of Charleston and received a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech.  In my career as a licensed registered Professional Engineer, I have worked in the chemical industry for both DuPont and Union Carbide, in the coal industry for Pritchard Mining, and I have served as County Engineer for the last 17 years for the Kanawha County Planning and Development Office.  

Here are some of my key political positions:  

I will strongly support Republican efforts to lower taxes and make West Virginia more welcoming for business and people wanting a safe place to raise a family.  I will work hard to make West Virginia a great place to live and work. 

I am strongly opposed to government mandates.  I believe these mandates are unconstitutional as well.

I support the Second Amendment.  I will oppose all Democrat efforts to blame guns for the high crime rates.  I will support legislation designed to keep dangerous, violent criminals behind bars, instead of getting a slap on the wrist from weak liberal Democrat judges.  

I will continue to support parents’ rights to choose a private school or home-schooling and assist them in paying for these costs.  This will allow parents of modest income to take advantage of these education options.

I support legislation designed to rid our communities from these unsanitary and filthy homeless encampments, and keep them miles away from our children and their schools, and away from churches and thriving neighborhoods.

I strongly support the First Amendment.  I will stand up to all the efforts by the Democrats to censor conservatives and conservative media.  I will also stand up to their efforts to punish and outlaw religious groups.  

I support Republican efforts to outlaw the Critical Race Theory.  Democrats promote the Critical Race Theory and other identity politics techniques, which in turn, have caused an un-American division of the races that accomplishes nothing and leads to strife and high crime.

I was born and raised in Spartanburg, South Carolina. I’ve lived in Villa Rica, Georgia for about 13 years before moving to Charleston, West Virginia. We have owned our house in the Vandalia neighborhood of Charleston since April 2015 and we frequent businesses in Charleston, South Charleston, and Dunbar. We moved here by choice and are staying here by choice.

My first political campaign was in high school volunteering for Bill Workman for Congress — sadly he did not win the election. I was conservative and Republican then and remain so.

This May my wife, Lisa, and I will be married 21 years. We have six children, oldest two are girls and other four are boys, from 10 to 20.

I have undergraduate degrees in Studio Art and Anthropology with minors in music and history from the College of Charleston in South Carolina. I earned my Master of Fine Arts in Historic Preservation from Savannah College of Art & Design along with a Certificate in Public History from the University of West Georgia., I’m pursuing a Ph.D. in History though the online program at Liberty University as much for personal accomplishment as for professional advancement.

I formally worked for the West Virginia State Historic Preservation Office, but now work for Weller & Associates, a cultural resource management firm, doing architectural history and archaeology. My other past career is technical theatre and stage work on and off for about 20 years. This gives me some insights from issues with state employees to the arts to preservation of our history and cultural resources.

I also enjoy photography (often of historic places and a lot with work), genealogy, reading history and fiction (well now I often listen to fiction on audio books while driving).

My positions on issues appear on my website.
