Issue Position: Human Trafficking

Issue Position

As a father to three beautiful daughters and the husband to an elementary school principal, the safety and security of our communities is always my top priority. Human trafficking is an abhorrent evil and something that is a very real threat in Texas District 22. As Sheriff, I've taken extensive action to crack down on human trafficking by closing numerous illicit massage parlors in Fort Bend County, which are known by trafficking experts to be the number one venue for sex trafficking, establishing a local 24/7 hotline for reporting suspected trafficking activity, and requesting and receiving funding for two detectives who specialize in human trafficking investigations. In Congress, I will utilize my decades of law enforcement experience to combat it at a federal level and work to raise awareness of this global threat.
