He is a lifelong Grayling resident who thoroughly enjoys Northern Michigan and all that it offers.

A second generation judge from Crawford County, Hunter also likes volunteering with many local organizations in his free time. He is a past board member and by-law committee chair of River House, Inc., a nonprofit agency that serves victims and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. Judge Hunter also currently serves as a board member and secretary for the Crawford County Economic Development Partnership, a nonprofit organization dedicated to managing the growth of the county, strengthening the local economy, and maintaining the high quality of life that Crawford County residents treasure. As president of the newly launched Crawford County chapter of Families Against Narcotics, Hunter heads a community-based program that seeks to raise awareness of the dangers of prescription narcotics and other drugs, to dispel the stigma of addiction, and to provide resources and support for those who are seeking recovery or affected by addiction. Judge Hunter is also a member of the Grayling Rotary Club and is the president of the 46th Circuit Bar Association. 

Kristen is a graduate of Grayling High School and has come back to the community she grew up in after receiving her bachelor's and master's degrees. She studied both criminal justice and mental health/substance abuse while in school, and has gained firsthand knowledge by working in the area of substance dependence in the community. In addition to working at the GRACE Center, Kristen also works at the local jail. She has witnessed up close what substance use disorder can do to the community and the toll it takes on families. Kristen has worked to help change the language of substance dependence, and to see that those who are struggling get the proper help rather than continue the cycle through the criminal justice system.

In Lynda’s work in the substance abuse prevention field, she partners with local schools, law enforcement agencies, and health service providers to educate people of all ages on the negative outcomes that result from drug and alcohol use and substance use disorder. She advocates for policy and system changes that prevent underage drug and alcohol use and adult misuse of legal and illegal drugs. Having seen the negative impact of drug and alcohol misuse in families, Lynda believes in the positive results that a Families Against Narcotics chapter will have in the community.
