A prospective Democratic candidate considering a congressional bid in New Hampshire is facing setbacks in her political aspirations following revelations about her opulent lifestyle being exposed online.
Hanna Trudo, a former journalist who has worked for publications such as the Daily Beast, Politico, and the Hill, disclosed her intentions to potentially run for Congress in New Hampshire’s first Congressional district. This decision came after she relocated to her native state.
She described her upbringing in New Hampshire as part of a ‘working class’ home, raised by a single mother.
‘As a New Hampshire girl who grew up working class, I’m demanding more from our Democrats,’ she wrote on social media in early May.
Trudo said she was tired of working as a journalist and writing the same stories about Democrats failing the working class in Washington, D.C.
In a memo released in early May, Trudo shared, “‘Like many families, we received heating assistance at times to get through our freezing winters. While my mom was not able to go to college or buy a home due to the high cost of living, she worked tirelessly as a public school Title 1 reading aide,'” conveying her background and family’s challenges.
She argued that her experience as a journalist was proof she could serve the people of New Hampshire effectively.
‘I’m simply writing with the same fire I’ve spit for the past decade: Democrats must be better,’ the memo read.

Trudo said she was inspired by Sen. Bernie Sanders’ failed campaign for president to explore a run for office.
‘New blood matters alongside a working class agenda,’ she added.
Trudo’s announcement drew mockery from conservative media, as her candidacy was evidence of how many journalists in D.C. were actually partisan Democrats.
But there was more to Trudo’s profile than she revealed on her campaign memo.
When the hosts of the Ruthless podcast, a show hosted by political operatives, featured Trudo in a segment, she reached out on social media to ask them for a potential interview.
‘Let’s talk. My ties to broken policies and promises that fail the working class go well beyond what I’ve covered as a journalist. I’ve lived it. Would love to debate and discuss, DMs open,’ she wrote publicly.
The hosts Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook, accepted her offer to appear on the show, but they say she soon ghosted producers for two weeks when they tried to contact her.
In response, the show began investigating her background and started leaking a trail of public information, revealing her luxurious public life behind the scenes.
The team discovered a photo of Trudo’s profile on Luxy, an exclusive dating website profile for millionaires and ‘outstanding and sophisticated singles.’
‘We make sure only sophisticated, successful and people of quality join our platform,’ the website read, noting that members would need a ‘verified annual income’ of more than $200,000,’ the website reads noting that ‘only sophisticated successful people of quality’ are allowed on their platform.

The profile with her name and photo on it describes her as a ‘senior political correspondent, splitting my time between DC (weekdays), NYC, & Miami (for fun),’
‘Have traveled a lot for career and play, crave more. Big heart. Work horse over show pony. Enjoy cooking, reading, & history. Avid observer of people. Curious, active mind,’ the profile reads.
Trudo also posted an image of her social media of an expensive Ferrari, offering it up for sale.
Some of the photos on her social media profile were deleted after they were made public.
The hosts of the program still want Trudo to join the show to answer questions about her political campaign, but for now they plan to exact revenge for the no-show appearance.
‘Ruthless has identified additional questions about her story that The Variety Progrum will continue to discuss in upcoming episodes,’ podcast co-host John Ashbrook told the Daily Mail.
Their investigative team found ‘a lot more’ details about Trudo’s life that they planned to share in the future, they said.
‘You don’t f**k with the Ruthless variety progrum,’ host Josh Holmes said during the show.
Trudo did not return a request from the Daily Mail for comment.
