Sex workers are the unsung heroes of freedom in America, many of our social freedoms were pioneered by prostitutes, strippers and porn stars throughout our history and continue today as the sex industry moves to capitalize on modern innovations. As such I will take up the banner of sex work as a genuine and worthwhile profession that puts food on the table in households across Texas. I oppose the regulation and banning of any area of this industry by moralizing busybodies. I support the repeal of all laws regulating or prohibiting the possession, use, sale, production or distribution of sexually explicit material produced with the consent of the parties depicted. I reject the tying in of human trafficking with sex work and recognize that by pushing what could be a lucrative industry for millions of Americans into the shadows, it is those who oppose it that fuel human trafficking.
