A Republican State Representative In Tennessee Credits Her Political Success To Her Time As a Hooters Girl



The future leaders of this country aren't in the high school debate clubs or sitting in ivy-covered buildings at prestigious East Coast colleges. No . . . they're wearing tight white tank tops, tiny orange shorts, and slangin' overpriced buffalo wings.

In November, 29-year-old Julia Hurley was elected as a Republican state representative in Tennessee. And she credits her political success to . . . her time working as a HOOTERS GIRL.

When Julia was in college, she started working as a waitress at Hooters. She says that while she was there, she started learning about business and networking.

And, quote, "I know that without that time in my life I would not be as strong-willed and eager to become successful. If I could make it at Hooters, I could make it anywhere."

She says that some of her former customers at Hooters even made campaign contributions.

While she was at Hooters, Julia also worked as a model in some pretty risqué photos. When she was running for the state House, her opponents tried to use her Hooters background and the modeling shots against her . . . but it didn't work.
