Bunny Ranch
Bunny Ranch brothel owner Dennis Hof has a very special reason for endorsing Linda Fondren for mayor of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Why is he getting involved with a local election on the opposite side of the country? It's because Linda Fondren and her husband Jim not only owned and operated The Sagebrush Ranch (a Nevada
brothel that is located next to Hofs), but before that she was a
working prostitute at Hof's brothel who met her husband when he was her
client. While some might think that this history would disqualify her
candidacy, Hof sees it as quite the opposite.
"Our girls go on
to careers in medicine, law, and education, and they fund those
educations with the money that they earn here at The Bunny Ranch" says
Hof. "I couldn't be prouder of their accomplishments, and I sincerely
believe that Linda Fondren 's time working as a legal prostitute in Nevada has given her the necessary business acumen to be a very successful mayor."
Hof is offering to join Fondren on the campaign trail, and he's even willing to travel to Mississippi
to appear with her in person and help raise money for her campaign.
While enthusiastic about her candidacy, he laments that the social
stigma of the world's oldest profession, even when it's legal, has
prevented Fondren from previously disclosing this information about her
past. "What she did here was legal, safe, and well regulated. Nevada
sets a progressive social example for the rest of the country by
legalizing prostitution, and as the poorest state in the nation, Mississippi would be well advised to follow Nevada's lead and stimulate their economy in the process."
Hof
hopes that a mayoral term could in fact lead to state wide office for
Fondren, perhaps as a congresswoman or governor, where she could draw on
her past as a legal prostitute to advocate for Mississippi becoming the second state in the nation to legalize the brothel industry.
