Shortly before the congressional elections, American politician Mike Itkis (53) caused a stir with a special campaign. He publishes a porn of himself on the internet to emphasize his “sex positive devotion”, according to his own statements.
According to his website, Itkis, who is running for the 12th district in New York, is a pro-legal advocate of sex work and abortion rights who was rejected by the US Supreme Court a few months ago. He wanted to underline that involvement with the 13-minute clip, the politician told City and State New York. “Just talking about it doesn’t mean I’m really committed to it,” Itikis says. “Making the video was a learning experience and also influenced my view of certain topics.”
Army veteran stands behind opponents
According to her own statement, the video with porn actress Nicole Sage (28) is Itkis’ first video on camera. “I don’t like being the center of attention. I’d rather describe myself as an introverted nerd. But I don’t have kids, I’m single and atheist, and fighting for sexual rights. In our state of New York, sex work is still a criminal offence. It is not acceptable.”
According to her own statements, porn actress Sage knew the purpose of the video and supports Itki’s political work.
Itkis is an impartial politician who served in the United States military. He was born in the Ukrainian city of Odessa. At the age of 10, he moved with his family to New York, where he has lived ever since. He worked, among other things, as an IT expert at tech giant IBM.
With the video, Itki must once again stir up his own election campaign. The non-partisan politician currently stands behind his opponent Jerry Nadler. With the new video, Itki should have brought herself back into the conversation. (see)
