By Bud Wymore
The Hays Free Press offers candidates one opportunity each election to address its readers. Rather than publishing a press release, I made the decision to speak directly to you about why I’m running. My name is Bud Wymore and I am a candidate in the Republican Primary to represent our community in the Texas House. It is my sincere hope that after reading this letter, you will understand my love for this community and desire to do what is right for our home.
When my family moved to Hays County 36 years ago, this community looked very different. I wish that I could say you may remember me from my “glory days” on the Hays Rebel football and basketball teams, but it’s more likely that you know my mother, Jodie, who was a beloved elementary school teacher and principal at Hays CISD for many years, or my father, Kent, who ran a local small business. I owe an unpayable debt of gratitude to my parents and this community for forming me into who I am today.
