Former senator Pete Domenici fathered a child 30 years ago.
The mother of the child was the daughter of another senator, Michelle Laxalt. She went on to have quite a career as a lobbyist and government official as well as having significant involvement in Republican party power centers.
The son, Adam Paul Laxalt, is a lawyer, and has had a promising start in what could be called the beginnings of a career in Republican circles...
* Special Assistant to John Bolton, Undersecretary of State for International Security and Arms Control
* provided legal advice on detainee detention operations in Iraq during duty with Navy JAG
* staff member for Senator John Warner
* regional prosecutor and legal advisor to the Commanding Officer, US Navy, Italy
Adam Laxalt has been recent author or co-author of several op-ed or commentary pieces. A sample:
* "Sleeping Giant: ObamaCare May Awaken Activists"

Las Vegas Review-Journal, July 2012
* "Detainee Madness"
Unlawful enemy combatants! rehashed!
