Get StartedEvery abortion situation is unique and must be evaluated on an individual basis. Making abortion illegal is an ignorant decision and is frankly just lazy and disrespectful to women. There are many situations in which an abortion is medically necessary to save the woman’s life. Learn more
The U.S., and Nevada, must re-evaluate its prison industry. The first step is to eliminate and replace private prisons and services. No person or corporation should be profiting from locking up our citizens. Most inmates are in poverty, yet they are paying exorbitant amounts for basic services and goods. In Carson City it costs inmates more than 20 cents per minute for phone calls. The company providing the call service plays a commercial advertising itself during each phone call. There is also a fee to put money into an inmate’s account, currently it costs $8 to deposit $20. People not in prison have a hard time paying these high prices, let alone the incarcerated population.

I propose an addition to our current public school system. One that focuses both on caring for and educating our young children. This system will allow women to return to work after maternity leave without the insane financial downfalls that they currently experience. New child care related jobs will be created and possibly filled by the mothers themselves. This will help our economy and most of all the working class. Learn more
I propose Nevada be bold and lead the nation on this issue by changing our K-12 education standard to a Pre-K-16 standard. The Pre-K-16 standard includes a pre-kindergarten class which allows children to be in a beneficial social learning environment at a young age. Pre-K-16 includes four years of education after high school which would be provided by tuition free public colleges. Learn more
The green new deal would create, repair and replace current infrastructure with green technology of the future. Moving away from fossil fuels and leading the world in renewable energy technologies is the goal. The green new deal will create an abundance of jobs while giving a natural boost to our economy, all while improving our current failing infrastructure. We need to become the world’s leading experts in green technology and we need to hold corporations responsible for their environmental destruction. Learn more
Not only do we need immediate gun regulation to be put in place, but as new weapon technologies emerge we must evolve with them in order to maintain a safe environment. Of course, there are still legitimate reasons for guns, such as hunting, competitive marksmanship, home defence, and military or law enforcement. Learn more

Border security is necessary for trade and immigration processing. Both which should be accomplished in a way that strengthens our country and protects it from harm. We should treat everyone humanly, with open arms, providing all with basic human rights. The immigrants we invest in today will be the border security of tomorrow causing a positive cycle of strength for the United States. Learn more
We must provide support to our teachers by paying a living wage and, most importantly, listening to their ideas and needs for improving educational outcomes. Learn more
