Sean P. Duffy
If his Congressional bid is successful, he knows he will be taking an important step to preserve Wisconsin values and the Wisconsin way of life.
Sean was born and raised in rural Wisconsin. His great, great grandfather was one of the founders of Hayward. He is the tenth of eleven children Sean worked his way through law school by performing in lumberjack shows and exhibitions across the state of Wisconsin and around the country. After graduating from law school he practiced law for two years in Hayward before becoming a special prosecutor in Ashland, Wisconsin. Shortly thereafter, he became the acting assistant D.A, and later the District Attorney of Ashland County.
Four generations later, Sean is carrying on the family tradition as a nationally recognized professional lumberjack athlete. He is a two-time world champion in the 90-foot speed climb, three-time champion in the 60-foot and an accomplished log-roller. Sean has been a color commentator for ESPN's Great Outdoor Games, as well as a Badger State Games Honorary Athlete and takes pride in bringing national attention to a sport with vital roots in Wisconsin's proud history. Among Wisconsin's younger voters, Sean is known for having been cast on MTV's iconic reality show, The Real World. Through the show, Sean met Arizona native Rachel Campos, and a year and a half later, they married and returned to northwestern Wisconsin to raise their family. Sean and Rachel are the parents of six children – ten year old Evita, eight year old Jack, six year old Lucia-Belen, three year old John-Paul, two year old Paloma, and their latest addition, MariaVictoria, born April 1, 2010.
I think it is interesting that his athletic history is so prominent. It adds another element to the candidate that is interesting and memorable amongst the many other candidates. That could help him in this election. I am, however, curious on his views on many of the important issues. Are they out there for people to see, or has he avoided making much of a statement?
