Civil Rights

I come from the Nevada where we stayed out of individuals’ lives and respected privacy. I will always stand to protect LGBTQ rights. We all have the right to live life with dignity, access to health care, and privacy. Learn more

Nevada’s indigenous peoples are central to this state’s rich culture and history. I have been proud to advocate for Native American sovereign rights and resources. Nevada’s tribes are critical to the economic success and environmental protections that benefit all of us. Learn more

Antisemitism is rising, and it is unacceptable. I will stand against hate in all forms. As Governor of Nevada, I will oppose all forms of discrimination and will work to protect all Nevadans. Learn more

We must always support free and fair elections and strengthen Nevada’s laws to protect voter information and support faster collection of voting results. Our local Registrar of Voters and Clerks’ Offices must be properly funded to protect democracy and our voter rights. As Chair of the Washoe County Commission, I led major initiatives to make Washoe County more accessible to our constituents, protect democracy and our voter rights, and support our neighborhoods and government employees.

Economy

“But how do you grow the economy if you don’t give billionaires a handout to move their factories here?” Simple: invest in our workforce. Invest in our existing businesses. This is how we grow a stable future for the people who live here and stop chasing and begging for table scraps from multinational oligarchs like Elon Musk. Learn more

Education

We need a clear commitment from state leaders to close Nevada’s education funding gap and get to the national average, which will require 2.5 billion in additional annual spending over the next 10 years. We need property tax reform to sustainably increase school funding and ensure that all families have access to the best public education no matter their zip code. Learn more

Environment / Energy

We live in a beautiful place and protecting Nevada’s ecosystems is fundamental to preserving our quality of life. Under my leadership, Washoe County established its first sustainability plan. Safeguarding our air, water, land, and climate are principles which need to be reinvigorated in Nevada, especially as the federal government weakens protections. Learn more

Foreign Policy

I believe in peace, and while governors have no official role in foreign policy, I want to be clear: Any path to peace depends on ending terrorism and creating conditions for coexistence. I support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself. Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization whose actions have brought immense harm to both Israeli and Palestinian people, and it must be dismantled. Even in war we must do everything possible to protect innocent civilians, and to help refugees begin to recover from the brutality of war that they have suffered. We must strive to find a path to peace that guarantees the dignity and security of Israelis and Palestinians. Learn more

Housing

While Nevada has been lucky to receive federal funding for affordable housing for several years, it is not enough. We need to dedicate funding from state and local governments to support housing trust funds, permanent supportive housing, and toolkits for affordable construction on a continuing basis. Learn more

This is one of the big ways we can increase funding for our schools. Resetting depreciation every time a property sells and tying it to the market will ensure properties will be assessed on their actual value. Working families are often pushed further away from city centers into more “affordable” newer developments, forcing them to pay a higher share of property taxes. Learn more

Immigration

We need comprehensive immigration laws – and that starts with Congress, not costly state-run detention centers. Border security is a federal responsibility. Nevada should focus on partnering with federal agencies to ensure due process and humane treatment, not building a shadow immigration system in our own backyard. We need comprehensive immigration reform that addresses root causes, creates fair pathways to citizenship, and secures the border effectively. I do not support our Nevada National Guard being used to help indiscriminately round up and terrorize our communities. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

Our growing population is straining our aging infrastructure, and funding has not kept pace. We must make sure that funding for roads and highways is indexed to inflation and tied to usage. Learn more

Taxes / Budget

This is another big way we can increase funding for our schools. Wall Street has gobbled up a huge portion of our housing supply, jacking up rents and avoiding paying their fair share of taxes. We need to treat these as investments, assessing and taxing them as such. Corporate landlords should not be benefitting from a tax structure intended to protect owner-occupied houses. This would mean we can afford enough firefighters, teachers, police, road construction, parks, and everything else (beyond giving our schools a lot more funding). Learn more

I won’t support giving taxpayer funding to Hollywood billionaires either. This type of economic development has been the Republican and Democratic establishment’s go-to for a decade, and it hasn’t worked. This is a longer-term fix to budget problems, but an important step we need to start taking today if our tomorrow is not going to be underfunded as well. Learn more

There have been too many instances of stolen contract dollars, overtime abuse, and waste with no corrective action. We need to strengthen accountability to legislative and executive audits so funding misuse is actually corrected. Learn more

Property tax increases are capped. While an overall cap on rent increases is not a long-term fix or solution to our housing crisis, it is a good short-term measure to give families peace of mind, until we can build housing people can afford and stop predatory Wall Street investors from taking advantage of us. Learn more

State politicians have been giving Amazon and Tesla a free ride on the roads we paid for. Our road taxes are out of date, leaving road funds unable to address basic needs in every community. Road funds also need to be indexed to inflation and cost needs to be tied to actual impacts by users. Learn more

Beyond taxing property and fuel/use taxes, we need to update and modernize many other places in our tax system to make it fairer for working families. Learn more

Wages / Job Benefits

Unions are the backbone of Nevada’s workforce and critical to ensuring livable wages and fair benefits. You may have heard the phrase for this law that rhymes with “Right to Smirk.” I think it’s more accurately called “Right to Freeload.” This law means that some workers pay for things that benefit all workers – like if only some people paid HOA dues, but they still got access to all the benefits. This is wrong. Learn more
