In terms of the political realm, his goals are “to do good things and represent the people in a way they can be proud of.”

Some of the keys to his success, Dunavan said, include “always standing up for what’s right and always following my gut instincts, whatever that may be at the time.”

While a registered Republican, he also says, “I hate the titles that label us. I have always had the mindset that I represent the ‘people,’ regardless of which political party I represent. My goal has been and will continue to be, to do what’s right, even if that means standing alone at times.”

Dunavan said he’s always tried to be proactive rather than reactive. “I think you’ve always got to be looking to the future,” he said. “You always have to have goals in life.”

He added, “I can’t be complacent. If you don’t have goals, you end up getting complacent at some point.”
