Disgraced former governor Mark Sanford publicly debuts his mistress
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford publicly debuted the woman he sacrificed his political career for four years ago as he won the GOP nomination for a vacant U.S. House seat on Tuesday.
His fiancée Maria Belen Chapur stood by his side as he delivered his victory speech and thanked her for putting up with him throughout his race against former county council member Curtis Bostic.
He secured a 57-43 victory over Bostic in the GOP runoff for the first Congressional District, and Sanford will now face Elizabeth Colbert Busch in early May to regain his former seat.
It is the first time he has stepped out publicly with Chapur after he disappeared from South Carolina in 2009 and returned to confess to an extramarital affair with the Argentine woman.
