Paris Hilton has expressed interest in pursuing a career in politics after her advocacy efforts led to a significant win in Congress. On December 13, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act, a bill that Hilton championed. The bill, which calls for increased oversight of child treatment facilities, had already passed the Senate. Hilton has been a vocal advocate for the cause, sharing her own experience of being sexually assaulted at a boarding school.
In discussing her future, Hilton told The Hill that her advocacy work has shown her the power of her voice in making a difference. She hinted that running for office could be a possibility, as she believes she could continue to shine a spotlight on important issues, particularly those that affect children.
Hilton celebrated the win on social media, calling it a “day [she] will never forget.” She emphasized the importance of speaking out and fighting against child abuse, dedicating her victory to survivors and their families.
