Issue Position: Putting An End To Human Trafficking

Issue Position

Human trafficking affects every county in Tennessee. While Tennessee has been a leader in the fight to end this modern-day slavery, more must be done. Bill will stand with Senator Marsha Blackburn to fight back against websites that promote human trafficking. Bill will work with President Trump to ensure our local government has the resources they need to educate our communities on this growing epidemic. He believes providing support for the survivors of human trafficking must be a top priority and that includes ensuring they have access to justice. Human traffickers -- those who knowingly, intentionally exploit others and force them into modern-day slavery -- should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and that includes the death penalty. Human trafficking is one of the most atrocious crimes, and he fully supports the death penalty for these criminals. In the Senate, Bill will continue the fight to stop human trafficking.
