The Louisiana family behind Duck Dynasty is also attempting to build a political dynasty. A nephew of patriarch Phil Robertson has announced plans to run for the U.S. house. Zach Dasher, a 36-year-old Republican, is looking to replace Representative Vance McAllister, who the famous family had previously supported. McAllister. who ran on a platform of conservative Christian family values, landed in hot water in April after video emerged of the married Republican enjoying a long smooch with a female staffer - the wife of one of his best friends. The 40-year-old has been branded the 'Kissing Congressman' after the incident. He initially said he would not run for reelection this year, but later seemed to renege on that pledge.
