‘Bachelorette’ Loser’s ‘Creepy’ Past Haunts His Senate Race
A competitive Nevada state Senate primary featuring a former Bachelorette contestant is heating up, with allegations flying about the former contestant’s treatment of women.
Christian Bishop, 35, competed on the 12th season of The Bachelorette in 2016 and is now competing against former lobbyist Jennifer Atlas to become the Democratic candidate for Senate District 5—one of four races Democrats hope to flip to secure a supermajority in the state legislature.
Bishop is hoping he’ll do better against Atlas than he did on the reality show, where he only made it through the third week. But his past with the franchise is coming back to haunt him.
