Background
Huberty is a native of Parma, Ohio, a suburb south of Cleveland. In 1991, he received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Cleveland State University in downtown Cleveland. In 1998, he received a Master of Business Administration degree from the on-line University of Phoenix. Huberty currently serves as President of MVP REIT, a real estate investment trust for parking lots. Previously he was an executive with a parking company, and before that in a natural gas fueling company.
Huberty and his wife, the former Janet Marie Etterman, have three children. They are members of the Saint Martha's Catholic Church parish in Walden, Texas.
Political life
From 2006 to 2010, Huberty was an elected trustee of the nonpartisan Humble Independent School District. He was the board president from 2009 to 2010. During his tenure as school board president, Humble ISD was ranked as having four of the worst schools in Texas.
When Republican Representative Joe Crabb declined to seek reelection in 2010, Huberty and three others entered the primary election to choose a successor. Huberty nearly won with 7,465 votes (48.8 percent). He was forced into a runoff election with anesthesiologist Susan Dobbs Curling (born 1957) of Kingwood, another Houston suburb, who received 3,063 votes (20 percent). Two other candidates, businesswoman Addie Sturgeon Wiseman (born 1963) and physician Martin C. Basaldua (born 1951), also of Humble, held the remaining 31.3 percent of the vote. Huberty then defeated Curling. In the general election, Huberty defeated the Democrat Joe A. Montemayor, 37,725 (75.3 percent) to 12,406 (24.7 percent).
In the 2012 general election, Huberty defeated the Democrat Cody D. Pogue, an organizer in 2010 for former mayor of Houston, Bill White, who ran for governor against Rick Perry. Huberty received 45,813 votes to Pogue's 19,435.
In 2016, Huberty was challenged in the Republican primary by Mitchell Bosworth, who filed to challenge the incumbent after viewing alleged misconduct by Huberty posted on YouTube. Huberty eventually defeated Bosworth, 78% to 22%. Huberty defeated challengers from the Libertarian Party and Green Party in the 2016 General Election, taking 82% of the vote.
Huberty serves on the Pension and State Affairs committees. He is now the Chairman of Public Education committee.
Huberty opposes school voucher or "school choice" programs which would finance private schools with state funds, a position for which he has been criticized by other Republicans.
Legislative voting record
Representative Huberty in 2013 supported a ban on abortion after twenty weeks of gestation; the measure passed the House, 96-49. He also voted for companion legislation to increase medical and licensing requirements of abortion providers, a move which opponents said could lead to the closure of many abortion clinics in the state. These issues brought forth an unsuccessful filibuster in the Texas State Senate by Wendy R. Davis of Fort Worth, who in 2014 is the Democratic nominee for governor against the Republican Greg Abbott. In 2011, Huberty supported two other anti-abortion measures. One forbids state funding of agencies which perform abortions. The other requires that a woman undergo a sonogram before procuring an abortion. This legislation is based on the view that a woman could change her mind about an abortion once she witnesses the development of the unborn child through the latest technology.
Huberty supported a bill relating to unlawful employment practices regarding discrimination in payment of compensation, which passed the Legislature but was vetoed by Governor Perry.
In 2017, Huberty, chairman of the House Education Committee, declared dead for the next two years a conservative proposal to establish school vouchers in Texas. As Huberty had predicted the House on April 6 rejected a voucher proposal, 103-44, despite early support for vouchers in the Texas State Senate.
