I’m Grayson Hunt, and I’m running to represent Missouri’s 7th Congressional District because I believe the best ideas don’t start in Washington — they start here in Missouri. Born November 3rd of 2000 and raised here in the Ozarks. I recently managed one of the largest lending companies in Missouri, leading a high-volume branch that served over 1,600 families. Today, I work as an insurance producer for a highly reputable company, helping Missourian’s protect what matters most- their families. I know what it’s like to sit across from people who are stressed, stretched thin, and just trying to get ahead. I’ve seen firsthand how broken systems, bad policy, and disconnected leadership impact everyday Missourians.

I became a manager at 19. I’ve built teams, fixed problems, and turned struggling operations around. I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon. I’ve worked 50+ hour weeks while putting myself through college full-time for a degree in IT Cybersecurity. I’ve balanced leadership responsibilities, marriage, and raising five animals at home. I understand responsibility because I live it — every single day.

Today, I’m running because I believe Missouri deserves leadership that isn’t beholden to special interests, favors flashy headlines, or forgets the people. I believe in accountability, fiscal responsibility, and solutions rooted in real life — not politics as usual.

I’ll fight to:

• Protect and preserve our freedoms — economic, personal, and faith-based

• Champion small businesses and workers — because jobs and opportunity are the backbone of this district

• Ensure our first responders and rural communities aren’t left behind

• Bring fresh energy and modern thinking to Congress, while staying grounded in Missouri values
