Congressional candidate adding new Democratic voters – one at a time

Whoever wins the GOP primary for the 1st District congressional seat – incumbent Mark Sanford, a former S.C. governor, or challenger Katie Arrington, a first-term state representative from Dorchester County who announced on Wednesday – likely will face Democrat Joe Cunningham next November.

By then, Cunningham will have more backup. The Charleston lawyer has posted a unique campaign video on Facebook alongside his wife, Amanda, announcing a “new volunteer.”

“We’re going to be bringing on a new member to rattle things up a little bit,” Joe Cunningham said. “We feel like we need some more booties – or boots – on the ground.”

Amanda Cunningham ended the puns by announcing, “We’re having a baby,” complete with a tiny Joe Cunningham campaign shirt.

The Buzz has heard of politicians kissing babies to win votes, but this takes it to another level.
