Hune, who is pursuing a degree in animal science from MSU, told the crowd about his journey to become one of the youngest legislators in Michigan's history.
Hune told the audience that growing up on a farm sparked Hune's interest in the agricultural field, and he was sure he was going to pursue a career in it.
Hune had prematurely declared himself the winner, but a vote count that went on until early in the morning showed he lost by one vote.
