What's up, Dunc? Giant rabbit to stalk Rep. Hunter on campaign trail
Source: East County Magazine
Hopping down the bunny trail—and the campaign trail—Duncan Thumper will soon be popping up at Congressman Duncan Hunter’s events to draw attention to his campaign finance controversies that have sparked a criminal investigation by the Justice Department.
A political action committee named “Bunny Pac” has announced that an activist in a rabbit costume will be drawing attention to Hunter’s use of around $60,000 in campaign funds for personal expenses—including $600 to fly his son’s pet rabbit cross-country, first class.
Hunter has claimed the expenditures were honest mistakes, some due to mixing up similarly-colored credit cards. He’s paid back his campaign in full—but had to take out a hefty loan to do so.
Bunny PAC is the brainchild of Democratic activist Shawn VanDiver, a political consultant and adjunct professor at San Diego State University.

This is going to be an interesting race! So far there are a dozen Democratic candidates who say they plan to run for Hunter's seat in this heavily Republican 50th Congressional district in San Diego's East County.
Seven of those candiates will be debating Thursday night; we'll be posting video for those interested.
Grab your popcorn...or maybe, carrots!
