| Collapse all
I pledge to never take money from corporations and if elected I will be the only state legislator to do so. I will champion the issue of removing corporate money from politics and I will call out anyone who takes corporate bribes regardless of which party they are in. I will fight for strong progressive policies that benefit the working class. I will never blindly vote with any party and will instead listen to my constituents and independently come to my own conclusion. I want to see Nevada prosper and become a leader among states on issues like healthcare, education, childcare, taxes, and climate change.
- Eliminate corporate money in politics essentially eliminating the corporate stranglehold on Nevada and returning the power to the working class.
- Create a single payer healthcare system in Nevada because no one deserves to die just because they are in poverty.
- Invest heavily in Nevada's education system and Nevada's future by doubling per pupil spending immediately.
