Nick Wilson, the Sole Survivor of the CBS show’s 37th season, has added another title to his name: state legislator.

The Williamsburg, Kentucky, native will represent the state’s 82nd district after he ran unopposed. He earned the endorsement of Republican representative Regina Huff, who did not seek re-election after her term expired.

Wilson, 32, first competed on “Survivor” in 2018, as a member of the “David” tribe in the series’ “David Vs. Goliath”-themed season. He edged out the competition – including runner-up Mike White, the Emmy-winning writer-director behind titles like “School of Rock” and “The White Lotus” – to become Sole Survivor.
