His tenure as ambassador was marred by accusations of poor performance. Gunter faces competition in the primary race against other candidates, including Army veteran Sam Brown. Gunter's consultant, John Thomas, was involved in setting up a 'scam' super PAC that backed Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign. Gunter's time as ambassador raised concerns due to a threatening and intimidating environment at the embassy.
