Soldier Runs for Office from Iraq




Kingsville, TX October 10, 2004 -- John T. Hubert is seeking the office of Texas State Representative while serving in Iraq as a Major in the US Army Reserves. Hubert, whose full-time occupation is chief felony prosecutor for Kleberg and Kenedy counties, left for Iraq just after filing in the Texas House District 43 race.

When asked why he wanted to run for this office Hubert replied, Education will be a major issue in the Texas House this session.

The quality of public education must be improved and that means more than just funding. Education is the great equalizer. It allows all our children the opportunity to experience the American dream regardless of background or race.

As an individual using his own education to improve the lives of citizens in a war-torn country, John believes education is the defender of democracy.

It is my duty to run, Hubert said. We need bold ideas to overcome the significant disadvantages in my home district.

Hubert is assigned to the 451st Civil Affairs Battalion, under the Special Operations mantle. His job includes coordination and assistance with the construction of schools, hospitals and utilities in the northern part of Iraq, working with the Kurdistan Regional Government.

Huberts release from active duty and return to Kleberg County is scheduled for mid-October.
