Wish he never ran for office Dunning says run was a mistake
G G Jim Dunning, 63, won the Republican nomination for state insurance commissioner but trailed incumbent Karl Herrmann by about 400000 votes. He sought the post to reconnect with his estranged 38 year old son, yet his campaign exposed a troubled past including juvenile confinement, auto theft, robbery and burglary with a firearm. Civil rights restored, he worked as an insurance salesman when he filed, but campaign workers urged withdrawal after the prison record surfaced and he has heard nothing from his son.
