Las Vegas — Nevada brothel owner and reality TV star Dennis Hof died last month but still won a heavily GOP state legislativ­e district after fashioning himself as a Donald Trump-style Republican candidate.

County officials will appoint a Republican to take Hof’s place in the state Assembly. He was found dead Oct. 16 after a weekend of parties celebratin­g his 72nd birthday. Officials don’t suspect foul play.
