Education
- Excerpt: "Living in the great state of Nevada should mean that your children receive a great education and I plan on working towards that goal. My aim is for every family to have access to quality education in their own neighborhood – just like I did."
Environment
- Excerpt: "I believe our State can and should continue to support the great work being performed in Nevada’s 23 state parks, recreation areas, historic sites and other environmentally-sensitive areas. Agencies such as the Clark County Parks and Recreation deserve our support in the Las Vegas valley as well."
