Bunny never forgot his sisters, and committed himself to raising awareness about children’s safety issues. After successfully plugging every outlet and filing down every sharp corner in his hometown, Bunny moved to Washington, D.C. where he became one of the most influential lobbyists on Capitol Hill. Soon, Bunny’s skills as a strategist became highly sought after in the political community.
Bunny’s first high-profile work came on Michael Dukakis’ 1988 Presidential campaign. He orchestrated Dukakis’ famous September 1988 military photo-op, and it was the triumphant image of Dukakis riding in an M1 Abrams tank that permanently swung the election.
Following the election, Bunny temporarily retired. He purchased a large house, which he named Warren, in his home state of South Carolina. He started a real estate firm, Crigarex Brand Real Estate, and was involved in several real estate deals with his friend and political ally, Bill Clinton. Bound by shared interests, Bunny put his influence behind Clinton in the 1992 election. Following Clinton’s election, Bunny came out of retirement to serve on Clinton’s White House staff. He worked closely with Hillary Clinton on health care reform, and later helped Clinton select interns.
From there, Bunny took on his highest profile job yet, as the campaign manager for Al Gore’s 2000 Presidential bid. Under Bunny’s expert guidance, Gore emerged with a historic win in the popular vote. With his legacy as a strategist secure, Bunny once again retreated to his Warren to plan his next move: running for the Senate.
Believing that the Democratic Party had become too conservative, and the Republican Party had become too liberal, Bunny ran as an Independent. The campaign was hard fought, as Bunny was the victim of extreme negative campaigning. His opponents claimed that prior to the late 1980s Bunny had been involved in a number of international scandals, and had even briefly acted as the Pope. However, none of the claims could be substantiated, and Bunny’s grassroots campaign took off thanks to his constant public appearances.
Once on Capitol Hill, Bunny became infamous for his radical centrist policies. He continues to spend most of time in his home state, where he is still heavily involved with Crigarex Brand Real Estate. Through his real estate dealings, Bunny met Thomas Ravenel, who he encouraged to successfully run for the office of State Treasurer. The two quickly became known for their raucous parties. On most weekends Bunny can be found around the state of South Carolina polling the electorate and supporting local bands.
