GOP Rep. Sean Duffy of Wisconsin Resigning From Congress

Epoch Times:

MADISON, Wis.—Republican Rep. Sean Duffy, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump who was on the cast of MTV’s “The Real World” before he went into politics, announced on Aug. 26 that he is resigning from his Wisconsin congressional seat to spend more time with his family.

Duffy, 47, posted on Facebook that he recently learned that his ninth child, who is due in October, has a heart condition and “will need even more love, time, and attention due to complications.”

Duffy, who was on “The Real World: Boston” in 1997, plans to resign on Sept. 23. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers will call a special election to fill the vacancy and is researching options for when to hold it, said the governor’s spokeswoman, Melissa Baldauff.

The fifth-term congressman represents Wisconsin’s 7th District, which covers all or parts of 20 northern and northwestern Wisconsin counties and is the state’s largest congressional district, geographically. It has grown more conservative since Duffy took office in 2011. In 2012, Republican Mitt Romney carried the district with 51% of the vote, compared with 48% that went to then-President Barack Obama. In 2016, Trump won it by 57% to 37% over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Duffy has been widely mentioned as a possible candidate for U.S. Senate or governor in 2022. Duffy leaves Congress with about $2.4 million in his campaign fund, based on the most recent report that ran through June 30.

  1. At 47 Duffy won’t be able to draw his congressional pension for another 15 years (age 62). He stated this morning on Fox & Friends that like everyone else in the country, they’ll be able to keep their current health insurance under Cobra for 18 months, out of their own pocket.

    Before running for congress, Duffy had a law practice in Ashland, Wi a town of about 5,000 on the South Shore of Lake Superior. Hopefully, Congressman Duffy will land a consulting or contributing position on one of the networks.

  2. I truly hope all is well with the baby. But looking at the happiness you see on their children’s faces, the baby will be well loved. We need more of the Duffy’s in the world so I say, Breed, Breed and breed some more.
    The only way I can see a bright future is with more Duffy’s and less of the Biden’s.
