The Real World Boston cast member Sean Duffy was re-elected to the United States House of Representatives yesterday, assuring that reality TV cast members still have a representative in Congress. Drunk 20-somethings hooking up and/or fighting in hot tubs can relax.
Sean defeated Pat Kreitlow by winning 56 percent of the vote. The AP reports that “Democrats considered his seat vulnerable” and “Outside groups spent heavily to try to oust Duffy. But he benefited from redistricting” and “also had more money, having raised $2.4 million compared to Kreitlow’s $1.2 million as of mid-October.”
