- Having a job is the solid foundation upon which we can all build a better tomorrow. I believe that the best and fastest way to create ten of thousands of high paying, long term, stable jobs is by unleashing the full economic power and creativity of the American people.
- For our children to compete in today's global marketplace, they need a world class education. One that focuses on the skills necessary for our future, while preserving the best of our past. We can and we must aspire to do better.
- Throughout the 20th and early 21st century, the United States has repeatedly proven that unleashing the power of American industry is the surest and most direct path to ensuring the success and advancement of every American.
Elected officials have the privilege to be representatives of the people, and must be willing to learn and serve everyday. I believe that my career and life story have prepared me to represent and lead from elected office. This, however, will be up to the people of Assembly 31 to judge.

2012
Espinosa espoused a three-point plan including low taxes, "[providing] an environment where people’s creativity and knowledge can flourish and create wealth," and industry awards for innovation. Regarding education, Espinosa supports separating education funding between administration and the classroom, quarterly-reviewed individualized plans for school districts, decreased emphasis on testing, increased use of technology in place of physical books, and all-day kindergarten. For cybersecurity, Espinosa says "Nevada must find a functional coalition to secure consumer data, protect corporate data centers, and forcefully prosecute those that attack our state’s businesses and people."[6]
