Anti-Human Trafficking Candidate Brad Namdar Solicited Escorts

A report in Other Side Dallas alleges that Brad Namdar solicited escorts prior to this run for Texas 32nd Congressional District.

Namdar is heavily involved in anti-human trafficking issues and is the leading contender for the Republican nomination for Congress in TX32.

Per local news reports, an escort said she first met Namdar in May 2021 as he was gearing up for his campaign for the purposes of paid sex. This happened twice.

The Dallas Morning News says they were provided with evidence, including videos, of the alleged sexual encounters. The News is not naming her because she fears retaliation from Namdar and his supporters.

The Dallas Morning News also claims to have uncovered allegations through school records that Namdar inappropriately touched a student when he was a teacher and coach at a Dallas high school. Child Protective Services was notified about the alleged incident, but local law enforcement officials said they have no records of such a report.

Brad Namdar Solicited Escorts Despite Governor’s Appointment To Anti-Human Trafficking Nonprofit

Namdar has become the favorite in the race given the endorsement of former TX32 Representative Pete Sessions.

In December, Other Side Dallas called him the “prohibitive favorite” and the Dallas Morning News just endorsed him also in the race for the Republican primary to challenge Colin Allred.

However, those in Barry Wernick’s D11 campaign circle described him as a self described “kingmaker.”

Namdar has made his anti-trafficking work central to his campaign. There has been no response from either Governor Abbott or Pete Sessions about the allegations.

The September 11 Foundation is working to develop training for fire and EMS responders on the human trafficking issue.
