Priorities as County Judge Executive
Serving as County Judge Executive of Boyle County is an honor and a massive responsibility. In this role, there are many things to juggle, but I believe the most important are representing the citizens I serve by actively working together, ensuring that the county provides and maintains solid infrastructure, and being a good steward of the county's resources.
SOLID INFRASTRUCTURE
Our county needs to ensure safe water systems, to improve and upgrade roadways and bridges, and extend high-speed Internet availability. County government should ensure that essential needs such as replacing the bridge in Perryville and others are met and necessary improvements are made in a timely fashion.
FULL REPRESENTATION
Together, we will continue to improve all our communities and enhance our county’s future. I will continue to hold regular "Pulse of the People" community meetings throughout the county in convenient locations so we can discuss the issues we need to undertake to improve our quality of life in Boyle County.
FISCAL STEWARDSHIP
The financial resources from federal and state governments and from the taxes we collect locally must be used responsibly. Spending should be done with the goal of improving the quality of life here in Boyle County for each and every one of our citizens. I know investment of these funds should not just meet current needs, but must also plan for our future.

Howard & Aprile Hunt
Aprile, my wife of 42 years, and I live on our family farm near Atoka, where I grew up. We have one son, Price (who is married to Chelsea) and one daughter, Hanna (who is married to Bryant Baker) and we have been blessed with six grandchildren.
I grew up in Boyle County and it was a positive influence in my life. I want my grandchildren to have a childhood here in Boyle County that is at least as good as I enjoyed, preferably better.
I have had the desire to serve for my entire adult life. I adhere to The US Air Force Core Values: Integrity First, Excellence in All I Do, and Service Before Self.
After a rewarding career serving my nation and my state, I want to continue to serve here at home in Boyle County as your County Judge Executive.
