In April of 2012, Kendall Scudder announced his intent to run for Huntsville City Council because of his commonsense approach to problem solving, his proven record of fighting government waste and overall, his love of Huntsville. When elected, Kendall plans to push for investment in Huntsville's infrastructure, encourage economic development, and help channel the ingenuity of Huntsville’s diverse citizenry.

Raised by two TDCJ employees, Kendall Scudder was instilled with strong morals, work ethic, and fortitude by his working class, east Texas family.
