Ex-prostitute says he won't bow out of state House race
DALLAS (AP) - A man running for state representative acknowledged that he once worked as a prostitute but said he's turned his life around and doesn't regret his past.
Tom Malin, who has also sold Mary Kay cosmetics and now markets electricity, conceded that his illicit past could cost him the nomination in the March 7 Democratic primary.
"I've made mistakes in my life, and I've stood before my creator and I've accepted responsibility for my behavior," Malin said in Friday's Dallas Morning News.
On his campaign Web page, Malin said he is "committed to giving our families a voice in Austin, with a focus on education, the economy, and restoring a 'spirit of ethics' to our State House."
He said he would stay in the race.
"I don't regret my past, nor do I wish to shut the door on my past," he said. "I think anyone who has made mistakes in their lives can be a viable member of community and society."
Malin, a former member of the Dallas Citizens Police Review Board, is a managing director for the marketing arm of a Dallas electricity provider, his Web site says.
Malin said he's been sober for 13 years after being addicted to alcohol and suffering an abusive childhood.
The Dallas Tejano Democrats endorsed Malin on Thursday, before learning of his past.
"Obviously we will have to reconsider our decision based on the new information," Chairman Domingo Garcia said.
Malin faces retired salesman Jack Borden in the Democratic primary.
He certainly has all the right political skills.
From another article:
"I've made mistakes in my life, and I've stood before my creator and I've accepted responsibility for my behavior," Malin told the Dallas Morning News for its Friday editions.
"I've also accepted his grace and his redemption and his love and his forgiveness," and that's what is important, he said.
So what? I've heard that some of the candidates are ex-lawyers.
Would I vote for him? Well no, of course not. He's a democrat.
Being a prostitute means he is qualified and already won half the battle!

I wonder if he knows Jeff Gannon? Ha!
I'm betting poofta...
"Ok, maybe I don't get out much, but was he an escort for women or was he a poofta?"
I've wondered about that. I used to work with a strait guy who sold Avon part-time. When I asked why he would do that, he told me about the "friendly" women he called on every day.
Let's just say lots of "attention".
"I don't regret my past"
Really? I suppose his other campaign slogan is "Keep Austin Weird".
Someone has been reading Chapter 5
Selling sex is Article III in the demonRAT national plank.
A Dim politician is a prostitute.
This is news?
Malin's campaign slogan (from the DNC): "I Don't Open Up Unless You Pay Me."
Why don't they tell the whole story - he was a GAY MALE PROSTITUTE! A pole-smoker. A backside mountee...
He won't bend to anyone's wishes anymore.
Maybe his slogan should be;
"I bent over a lot in my first career,
Now, I'll bend over backwards for my constituents!"
That's right. The popular Heidi Fleiss has now opened a brothel for women customers north of Las Vegas.
And money too.
