A former Survivor champion was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in the midterm elections.
Nick Wilson, who was the sole survivor of season 37,"David vs. Goliath," ran unopposed for the position, taking the seat of retiring state Rep. Regina Huff , who endorsed him, according to WSPA.
”Survivor to me was a game and politics to me is not a game,” he said. “It’s something that touches the everyday lives of everyday people.”He also pointed to his skills as a public defender, which he believes will help him in the position. ”I hope that we can just help people,” he added. “And I think that’s where our legislature is right now. I think that they’re not playing a lot of games in Frankfort. I think they’re really trying to pass legislation in Frankfort.”
