via Human Events, the amazing story of Duncan D. Hunter, son of presidential aspirant Congressman Duncan Hunter. The younger Hunter, who has already served two tours in Iraq as a Marine, is now currently deployed to Afghanistan - but still running a Congressional campaign for his father's seat. while he is serving his tour, his lovely wife has picked up the slack, making appearances and raising funds.
"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."
The DoD allows reservists like Hunter to campaign for office if they are deployed less than nine months, although he isn't allowed to communicate directly to voters or campaign while overseas. Great story.
