He campaigned for [[Hillary Clinton]] in her 2000 [[United States Senate]] race and is a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]].

Doug also works with local Massachusetts bank, Eastern Bank and is a spokesman for Framingham's Metrowest Medical Center.
In 2005, Doug Flutie became the oldest person unashamed enough to bring a baseball glove to a Red Sox game he was not playing in and catching a foul ball. It was his greatest highlight since playing at Boston College.
