Call them the runnin’ Dunns.
Plenty
of families talk about politics around the dinner table. But a mom, dad
and one of their sons do not usually end up all running for office
together in the same election.
That will be the case this year with the Dunn family, however.
The
New Mexico Libertarian Party’s slate continued to take shape on Tuesday
with Robin Dunn filing for lieutenant governor. She is in the ranching
business in Mountainair with her husband, Aubrey Dunn Jr., the state
land commissioner who recently switched from the Republican Party to
make a bid for the U.S. Senate.
In
addition to the husband-and-wife pair, one of their sons, lawyer A.
Blair Dunn of Albuquerque, is already running for attorney general as a
Libertarian. He told The New Mexican that his brother is not in politics and his sister is resolved to keep out. So it is not quite the whole family.
But
A. Blair Dunn said his mother is the one who taught him most of his
libertarian values. And she would be campaigning for her son and husband
anyway, so running for office herself was more way to help the
Libertarian Party as it heads into its first election as a major party
in New Mexico.

the phrase “career politician” a lot to knock each other. But that is
one charge that will not stick with the Libertarian Party’s ticket.
Perhaps it’s just as well for a party offering itself an alternative to
Republicans and Democrats...
