My goal is to strengthen bonds between our communities and the police department by increasing regular community patrols to relieve tension in our neighborhoods. Everyone deserves to feel safe anywhere in Las Vegas, and that is what I will strive to accomplish by working with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to hire more officers, improve community connections, and ensure everyone feels secure reaching out to the police.

We need to work with the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, the College of Southern Nevada, and the Clark County School District to improve our education system. A highly educated workforce is the best way to ensure economic growth and greater prosperity for all. Learn more
I believe a strong public school system is imperative. I also believe we need a local solution to increase funding. That's why I’ve proposed that marijuana revenues go to our schools, and it's why I have proposed a one-percent sales tax to raise 400 million for Clark County public schools. Learn more
I have taken a strong anti-NRA stance. My goal is to introduce greater gun regulations, including enhanced background checks and waiting periods for firearm purchases. At the Nevada Legislature, I authored legislation to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and institute background checks, because I believe we can respect responsible firearm users without giving everybody access to military-grade firepower.

I am a strong advocate for a Medicare-For-All system in the United States that will drive down costs by lowering copays and deductibles, increase access to healthcare, and make prescription drugs more affordable. It is simple: healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Nobody should go bankrupt to keep their family members alive! Learn more
This means addressing a variety of issues, including mental health, substance abuse, affordable housing, social services, criminal justice, and more. The city, county, and nonprofits can work together to reduce homelessness and make the county safer for everybody. Learn more
We need more comprehensive planning, and we need to allow developers to build cheaper, smaller units, permit “mother-in-law unit” on existing lots, and subsidize veteran and senior group homes. We also need to work with the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority and various veterans and senior groups to ensure current programs are maintained. Learn more
Our system is broken, forcing millions to live in the shadows. As a legislator, I have urged Congress to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform and support Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Children who have lived in the United States their whole lives must be recognized as Americans. Learn more
We need to establish a hardworking and dedicated Neighborhood Service Agency, a government agency that will work to ensure our roads are maintained, our streets are clean, and our residents have a one-stop shop for neighborhood issues. Learn more
For years, people have been saying we need to connect the Monorail to the airport, and I agree! Beyond that, the Monorail needs to go to Mandalay Bay to alleviate the new stadium traffic. We also need more public transit, including improved bus service so that just getting to and from work is not a two-hour ordeal. Learn more
We need to invest in attractive parks and improve our transportation systems. Learn more
We must protect and, if possible, expand our Social Security benefits. In addition, I believe Medicare must be protected and expanded to a Medicare-For-All system that will reduce medical bankruptcies and lower the price of prescription drugs. We also need robust oversight and protections, as well as adequate planning so that our veterans, seniors, and others on a fixed income receive a high level of service. Learn more
The minimum wage should be increased to 15 per hour. I proposed a bill to this effect at the Nevada Legislature, because I believe everyone deserves a living wage. Nobody should have to work two or three jobs just to support a family. Learn more
