Dayton Vasquez completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Vasquez's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- - Building an economy that puts working-class people first: This means expanding job opportunities for those struggling to find work, strengthening job security for those who are employed, and ensuring that working people are paid fairly, treated with dignity, and have a real voice in decisions that affect their workplace.
- - Tackling the affordability crisis in Las Vegas: Every year, it’s becoming harder for people to keep up with the rising cost of living. Gas and energy prices continue to climb, car insurance rates are increasing, and essential needs like healthcare, housing, and education are becoming less affordable. These are areas where our state government can and should take action to lower costs and ease the burden on working families.
- - Supporting our small businesses: Nevada has made progress in helping people start and grow their own businesses, but there’s still a long way to go. Many aspiring business owners are held back by costly state fees and fines, and those who already operate small businesses often face high operating costs, sometimes even for maintenance or requirements placed on the buildings they simply rent space in. We need to cut unnecessary red tape and reduce these financial barriers so that small businesses can open, grow, and thrive without being weighed down by costs that shouldn’t fall on them in the first place.
