The below email was graciously sent to us from a state rep. It appears he (or his significant other) wasn't approached directly, but this casting call — which does appear genuine — is floating around.
"Real Wives of Politicians." Really? And, yes, they're casting in Connecticut.
One wonders which state politician's wife would sign up for this. Maybe one redistricted out of office? Also note that sitting politicians are game, as are candidates currently "blazin on the campaign trail."
