Get StartedThe population in Northern Nevada has grown and criminals have infiltrated our population. One of the worst criminal and deviant behaviors is engaging in sex crimes against women and children. The news reports these types of criminal acts on a daily basis. To help solve this issue, I want to increase federal funding to help municipalities hire more police officers and designate a percentage of those hired to focus their efforts to combat sex crimes.

As a native Nevadan, I’ve spent my life enjoying our public lands, and I will fight to protect them for future generations. These lands belong to the people—not to be sold off or lost to short-term interests. I oppose the large-scale sale of public lands that would take away opportunities for Nevadans to hunt, fish, hike, and experience the outdoors. Learn more
At the same time, we must take a realistic and balanced approach to energy policy. While renewable energy has a role to play, it is not yet capable of meeting large-scale demand on its own. Renewable technologies come with limitations, including lifecycle waste and impacts on wildlife, and they cannot currently match the consistent, high-output energy required by growing industries like data centers.

Protecting public lands also means holding people accountable. Illegal dumping has no place in Nevada, and I will push for stronger enforcement to stop those who treat our lands as a dumping ground. Learn more
Nevada’s energy future must be reliable, affordable, and independent. Today, our state depends heavily on refined fuel from California. With refinery closures happening across California, Northern Nevada is at risk of rising fuel prices and supply instability. Learn more
To address this, I support the development of a new fuel distribution facility in eastern Nevada, supplied by pipeline access from Utah. This investment would strengthen our energy infrastructure, stabilize fuel costs, and reduce our dependence on out-of-state supply disruptions. Learn more
It’s absurd that the nations policy makers create laws to govern citizens, but excuse themselves from being held accountable to the same standards as their constituents. The ethics committee must investigate any wrongdoing and take action accordingly. Learn more
I’m in favor of capitalism and making a profit but creating life-saving drugs and not making them affordable just because a company can make a high arbitrary price for profit is damn right immoral. I also believe we have a shortage of medical personnel and we should encourage more nurse practitioners to enter the workforce to provide more medical services to serve Nevada. Learn more
Generations of Nevada residents are increasingly unable to afford homeownership, as the median price of a home has climbed to around 500,000—well beyond what many can manage given current income levels and the challenge of saving for a down payment. While affordable housing programs are often geared toward low-income families, middle-class individuals are frequently left without meaningful support. Learn more
To address this gap, we should focus on expanding access to innovative loan programs that empower middle-class buyers to enter the housing market. Solving this issue will require creative, forward-thinking approaches. For example, extending mortgage terms from 30 years to 40 or even 50 years—combined with options like interest-only periods, flexible principal structures, and lower interest rates—could make monthly payments more manageable and homeownership more attainable.

A secure southern border and the deportation of individuals who commit serious crimes are essential. At the same time, we need to modernize and streamline our immigration system. It is counterproductive when hardworking, law-abiding immigrants are caught up in enforcement actions intended for dangerous offenders, especially within a system already burdened by excessive bureaucracy. Learn more
We should also consider transitioning from a sponsorship-based model to a merit-based, points system. Creating more accessible legal pathways to work would not only support economic growth but could also help reduce Social Security fraud, as individuals would have clearer, lawful means to obtain valid Social Security numbers and participate in the workforce.

A thorough review of the Department of Labor’s role in the immigration process is necessary to identify and eliminate unnecessary red tape. Simplifying these procedures would make the system more efficient and fair. Learn more
