He had taken on so many other issues. speaking for the voiceless. from mental health to domestic violence. that I did not knowand I think this shows how sometimes this issue gets second shriftthat he was such a hero when it came to sex trafficking. I think part of that was Paul always believed that there were a lot of causes around this building that had people advocating for them. that keep people busy at meetings all day or that they get called up for that are so important. but. in fact. those who cant afford that kind of helpthe victims of domestic violence or those with mental illness or victims of sex traffickingthey dont have a lot of lobbyists coming over here to meet with people and they need someone to stand up for them. and they should not be forgotten or dismissed or marginalized in becoming a political football. that maybe they need someone advocating on their behalf. The other thing about Paul is he always embraced that immigrant experience. He believed that no matter where one comes from in this country. or no matter what ones roots were. they should be able to rise up. He also believed that everyone should be treated with dignity.
