A married Democrat in a close Michigan congressional race is in hot water after it was discovered that his email was used to sign up for an adult dating and casual sex site account.
Curtis Hertel, a Democratic candidate for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, signed up for the steamy Adult Friend Finder while he was married, DailyMail.com has learned.
Records show that his email was discovered among those used to sign up for the dating and sex site. The email came to light as a result of a 2016 data leak in which over 400 million users’ information was compromised.
Despite his involvement with the sex site during his marriage, he claims in a recent ad that ‘I’m just a regular guy,’ though the scandalous revelation may indicate otherwise.

‘Candidates are pretty full of themselves,’ Hertel says in a commercial promoting his campaign. ‘Me, I’m just a regular guy.’
‘I coach my son’s basketball team. I mow my own lawn and I like to drink beer and smoke meat,’ he says.
However, his ‘regular guy’ persona may not paint a full picture of the candidate who in the past took steps towards setting up an account for an extramarital fling.
Hertel, records show, used his personal email to sign up for the account and last accessed it in 2014, years after his 2010 marriage to his wife Elizabeth Hertel.
Shockingly, his email was linked to an account with the grimy username ‘Skumdogs.’
Hertel’s campaign did not return a request for comment.
‘Hertel2002@hotmail.com,’ an account linked to Hertel, was found among the emails used to register for AdultFriendFinder.com
The email associated with Hertel, ‘Hertel2002@hotmail.com,’ has been linked to the Democrat on various sites.
Most obviously he has that email listed as his contact on a Democratic site called BlueVoterGuide.org.
The scandal comes while Hertel is in a close race to replace Democrat Rep. Elissa Slotkin who is currently running for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
His GOP opponent, Tom Barrett, ran against Slotkin in 2022 and lost by eight points.
But this go around the race is much tighter.
The race for Michigan’s 7th District has been identified as one of the most promising races to flip a sear this cycle by the National Republican Congressional Committee.
As a result, Barrett is one of the select few Republicans receiving campaign funding from the organization.
