Josh and Anna Duggar and their three
children have been in Washington D.C. for nearly two months. How did Josh land
his new job at FRC Action (an affiliate of the Family Research Council)?

Josh's passion for politics began 15
years ago when Jim Bob Duggar ran for Arkansas House of Representatives and
won. Jim Bob involved his family of 13 in his political career from the
start, and Josh has had an interest in politics ever since.
But when Tony Perkins, president of
the Family Research Council, approached him about a job opening earlier this
year, Josh was hesitant.

Josh offered to help find
candidates for the position, but Tony Perkins had something else in mind. “What about you?” he
asked the 24-year-old.
“No,” Josh answered, “I’m
comfortable running my business back home in Arkansas.”

The two men resolved to pray about
it, and five months later, Josh and Anna and their three children – ages
3, 2, and newborn – were moving to D.C.
Despite his age, Josh has big plans
for his political career: “It’s time to say enough is enough,” he said, “to
share our thoughts and vision, to work together, to share information and
materials, to provide resources for each other, from D.C. to our own hometowns.
I’m just invigorated by it all."
