Campaigning From the Front Lines

Duncan D. Hunter never thought he would follow in his father (presidential candidate Duncan Hunter)’s political footsteps. He hadn’t planned on joining the Marines either. But 9/11 changed America and Hunter’s life dramatically.

Today, he is serving his third combat tour -- the first two in Iraq -- in Afghanistan. And his wife is campaigning as his surrogate for San Diego, California’s 52nd Congressional District, the seat Hunter’s father now holds, including the cities of Alpine and La Mesa.

Hunter’s wife Margaret stepped in to carry the campaign on after he was called from the reserves to go overseas. Now that her Marine husband has been gone for three months, Mrs. Hunter takes on the main fundraising and campaigning responsibilities with three young children in tow. Hunter, who decided on a Congressional run before the deployment, is scheduled to return in November.

Keeping him in my prayers that he comes back safely.
