District #5 Byng Hunt

Mono County District 5 encompasses a southern portion of the incorporated town of Mammoth Lakes existing entirely within the town boundaries. It has a fascinating mix of mountain meadows, meandering streams, traditional “Old Mammoth” ambience, and areas of modern urban activities and growth. I have had the honor and pleasure of representing the interests of the citizens of District 5 since 1999.

I am a health professional (pharmacist, retired) by trade, having practiced for over 40 years (27 years in Mono County). I was a Planning Commissioner for the Town of Mammoth Lakes for 3 years (1989-1992), a Town Councilman for Mammoth Lakes for six years (1992-1998), served as the Mayor of Mammoth Lakes (1995-1996), and have been on the Board of Supervisors (1999-present) serving two years as Chairman of the Board. I am married to Joanne (an ER nurse at Mammoth Hospital), and have three daughters and three grandchildren, all residing in the Eastern Sierra. I am an avid outdoorsman and mountain recreationalist, and sincerely love where I live and what I do. Great pleasure is derived from serving the needs of my neighbors and constituents, and I look forward to continuing our efforts to make Mono County one of the best places in the world to live, work, and visit. Please feel free to contact me with your ideas, questions, or inquiries. I look forward to serving your needs over the exciting years ahead.
