Get StartedWe need to repair relationships between the police and minorities communities. I support Community Policing that works in partnership with the community. We cannot allow prison to be a profitable industry while it serves to dismantle families and communities. I support reforming sentencing guidelines, and expanding drug courts, veteran’s courts, and prisoner re-entry programs. Learn more
We must continue to strive for and improve access to quality affordable housing, education / training programs, employment services, physical and mental health services, Veterans' courts, and financial protections that are quickly accessible. Learn more
A strong, premier education system can result in a stronger economy while reducing crime and the burden on the criminal justice system. Increased funding creates the environment most conducive for academic and social growth. Oversized classrooms and lack of resources has plagued the district for too long. Learn more
Our state needs to keep up with future trends by creating jobs in renewable energy, science, and technology. In addition to job creation, we need a prepared workforce that is equipped with the required skills to obtain and perform such jobs. In addition to working with the K-12 and Community College system, we also need to provide skilled trade opportunities, and small business loans that are accessible and attainable to our community members.

I support reducing the excessive amount of standardized testing and data collection our students are subjected to throughout the year. Students need more time to develop academically and socially. We need to increase the number of social workers, counselors, and mental health providers in our school to holistically address our students’ needs. Learn more
Government should be working for the people. In other words, we should demand effective, efficient, accountable, and transparent government. I will continue to pursue the creation of the Office of the Inspector General in order to monitor state and public entities in Nevada. As taxpayers, we need to know how our hard-earned money is being spent and that it is spent in the best intention of providing necessary and quality service to Nevadans. Learn more
Imagine a Medicaid expansion that could provide coverage to all Nevadans. One that would give every Nevadan an opportunity to purchase Medicaid on the insurance market. An expansion that removes the income limits for eligibility for Medicaid. One that would create more options for patients in counties where they currently only have one option for health insurance—instead of allowing companies to drive up costs and take the power away from patients. Learn more
Ultimately, I believe that our economy is the strongest when both our small business owners and unions are supported and thriving. However, regardless of the profession or work, our hard working Nevadans need and deserve to make a living wage. Learn more
