Campaign website
Schwartz's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION Dan believes we must close the southern border until Congress does its job and fixes America’s broken immigration system. TERM LIMITS Dan supports term limits for Congress and federal courts to encourage new leaders instead of career politicians and stop unelected judges from making laws who are accountable to no one. JOBS AND ECONOMY Dan believes we must invest in the American people through a fair tax system that lifts up the middle class and an economy that creates opportunities for workers instead of looking down on them. As a successful entrepreneur who turned a failing company into a global brand, Dan believes America must remain the leader in innovation, preventing emerging industries from moving abroad—taking investment and jobs with them. This includes embracing digital assets like cryptocurrency and blockchain technology that have the potential to create a more dynamic and secure economy. SCHOOL CHOICE As State Treasurer, Dan fought for parents and school choice and stood up to the state legislators who buried Nevada’s Education Savings Accounts. In his role as Treasurer, Dan oversaw ESAs—signing up thousands of parents and, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “becoming the program’s biggest champion.” NATIONAL SERVICE Dan believes we should encourage young people to commit to public service and provide new incentives for everyone who chooses to serve in a military or non-military position.
