Republican hopeful brings platform to North Augusta

The race for the White House took another turn through Aiken County Friday evening, with a visit from Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) at the North Augusta Community Center.

Hunter, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam and has served the San Diego area in Congress since 1981, spoke for about an hour, fielding questions and focusing on his priorities, with foreign trade and illegal immigration among his major concerns.

Addressing international concerns, Hunter focused largely on China's "new flexing of this military muscle that they have." He described that new power as being bankrolled largely by American trade dollars, through Chinese cheating.
