A Nevada brothel owner and reality TV star who died last month after fashioning himself as a Donald Trump-style Republican candidate has won a heavily GOP state legislative district.
Dennis Hof defeated Democratic educator Lesia Romanov on Tuesday in the race for Nevada's 36th Assembly District, which includes rural communities and large stretches of desert in the southern part of the state. County officials will appoint a Republican to take his place in the seat.
Hof was found dead Oct. 16 after a weekend of parties celebrating his 72nd birthday. Officials are still determining his cause of death, but they don't suspect foul play.
Hof owned a handful of brothels in Nevada, the only state that allows them to legally operate.
Hof starred in the HBO adult reality series "Cathouse" and wrote a book titled "The Art of the Pimp," akin to Trump's book "The Art of the Deal."

How about a remake of Weekend at Bernie’s - where the guy is a Nevada brothel owner running for Congress. The pimp dies the weekend before the election - but they prop him up for campaign events and for his acceptance speech...Weekend at Hof’s!

OMG, that's funny cashman. The party should do that instead of the "nominate some other guy" plan they are pitching. Even funnier if he were to win re-election in 2 years.
LOL
