Super PAC pro-Huntsman

POLITICO.com:

Is this the Huntsman family fund we’ve been waiting for?

Our colleagues at POLITICO Influence note today that a new independent expenditure committee, Our Destiny PAC, has been set up to support Jon Huntsman’s presidential campaign. The treasurer is Thomas Muir, whom the New York Times identified over the weekend as a Huntsman Corporation executive.

Muir holds the title of vice president at the company. In addition, he is vice president and treasurer of the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, an organization that Jon Huntsman Sr. founded and currently chairs, and that Jon Huntsman Jr. once ran. So Muir is pretty well embedded in the network of Utah-based Huntsman institutions.

One of the biggest questions about Huntsman’s campaign has been how – if at all – the candidate would leverage his family’s massive fortune in a presidential race. Huntsman put up some of his own money at the start of his bid, but that doesn’t scratch the surface of what his parents could throw into an independent expenditure group. It’s not clear whether Our Destiny PAC is the beginning of that kind of effort or a more standard-issue IE campaign.
