California Congressman and former Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter will be in Maine Wednesday to campaign for Republican 1st District Congressional candidate Charlie Summers.

Summers is running against Democrat Chellie Pingree for the U.S. House seat being vacated by Tom Allen, who is challenging Sen. Susan Collins.

Hunter and Summers will be appearing together at events in Bath on Wednesday, including meetings with workers at Bath Iron Works and a fundraiser.

On Thursday the pair will be in York County to have breakfast and talk with voters at Norma's Restaurant in York, according to the Summers campaign.

Hunter has been known for voting against the North American Free Trade Agreement and Central American Free Trade Agreement, and was a strong supporter of the construction of a 14-mile double fence along the U.S./Mexico border.

Hunter stepped down from his congressional seat to run for president. His son, Duncan Duane Hunter, is running for his father's seat in California's 52nd District. Duncan D. Hunter is among a number of candidates, including Summers, who recently served on active duty in Iraq.
