Dennis Hof's political rise reflects fundamental changes in electoral norms
that have roiled the Republican Party and upended American politics during
the era of President Donald Trump.
The strip-club owner who runs multiple brothels and looks set to win a seat
as a Republican in the Nevada legislature with the blessing of many
conservative Christian voters.
When news broke that Hof had won the nominating contest for a state Assembly
seat on June 12, evangelical pastor Victor Fuentes said he closed his eyes
and prayed.
He did not ask God to deliver Nevada and the Republican Party from Hof, the
thrice-divorced author of "The Art of the Pimp" who campaigned as the "Trump
of Pahrump." Although Christian groups have long rallied against the state'
s legal brothel industry, Fuentes was willing to overlook Hof's history as a
champion of the flesh trade and gave thanks for his victory.
"People want to know how an evangelical can support a self-proclaimed pimp,"
Fuentes said in an interview at his home in Pahrump, an unincorporated town
of 36,000 people that is the largest community in the sprawling, rural
district where Hof is favored to win in November's general election.
He said the reason was simple. "We have politicians, they might speak good
words, not sleep with prostitutes, be a good neighbor. But by their
decisions, they have evil in their heart. Dennis Hof is not like that."
The pastor said he felt Hof would protect religious rights, among other
things.
