I have been a Nevadan for sixteen years and am ready to step forward to make our state a great place to live, retire, raise a family or start a business. As a CPA/MBA by education and a business leader by experience, I bring a set of financial, problem-solving and leadership skills to assess and improve key issues in the state. My wife Jojo and I have lived in the same house in District 8 since 2008.
  • Our government must build trust with the electorate, particularly as it relates to restrictions surrounding COVID and public perception of law enforcement
  • Small businesses can key our economic growth, and we will do well to focus on how we can make our state a great place to grow a business
  • Educational outcomes for our children need to improve
There's no reason our state cannot be a leading destination for people that want to live prosperous and happy lives. We should encourage business and job growth, and we need to improve educational outcomes.
I've always admired Benjamin Franklin. While sources of information were not as easily accessible as they are today, Franklin somehow was a master statesman, scientist, diplomat, inventor and philosopher....and figured out how to run the post office as well. His ability to be conversant and knowledgeable in many different areas is impressive, and his contributions to our fledgling nation are still highly regarded to this day.
We all want a better community for our families and our neighbors, although many of us define that in different ways. An exceptional elected official can work towards consensus, which is a situation where the majority implements its policy but minority voices are listened to and respected, and sometimes policy is adjusted to avoid highly unpleasant impacts of legislation on certain members of the community. This involves both a willingness to listen, an ability to problem solve, and an ability to be persuasive with other legislators.
I'm passionate about public policy and ways of making communities thrive. As contentious as they sometimes may be, I enjoy political conversations, even in the midst of disagreement. I have found that sometimes that discussion can result in a more complete understanding of another side of an issue, even if the line isn't crossed to changing a firmly held position. Positions can and do change over time, and sharing a wider perspective or listening to alternate perspectives on public issues is something that I usually find to be worthwhile.
While I was born in the United States, my family lived in Asia for three years and moved back to America when I was five. The most prominent news story I remember was the drama surrounding the Apollo 13 mission, where something was wrong and it seemed like a matter of life or death for the astronauts. I didn't understand all that was going on with their ship, but I sensed that their fate was not assured and the next news story could be that they died.
My first job was working in the mutuels room at a local horse racing track. Back in the days before personal computers, my aptitude with statistics and numbers allowed me to deliver value to the calculations of handle and payout. As I grew up in Michigan, horse racing only operated in the summer, so this was basically a summer job.
I've always admired James Bond, for some of the same reasons I admire Benjamin Franklin. It seems like whether it is flying a helicopter, skiing, precision driving, horsemanship, speaking multiple languages, playing poker....James Bond has high levels of capability in all of that. In the real world, it takes practice and dedication....but somehow it's "natural" for 007.
The Senate has longer terms and fewer members, giving it a little more stability from partisan electoral swings.
Experience is beneficial if it is positive. When someone has learned how to do things to appease big donors or focuses on a few key identity groups because that is how they get re-elected, then our system of government moves away from the representative form of government and citizen representation we were intended to have.
We need to improve educational outcomes and diversify our business communities. We are overreliant on two major industries of mining and gaming/hospitality, and we need to diversify.
The governor should be the leader of the state and work to form a clear vision of an agenda to move the state forward to the betterment of its citizens. Currently, we have a situation in our state where partisanship is too prominent, with the legislature pushing state policies even further and further to the left. In the ideal situation, we would have a leader who establishes a vision for a better tomorrow that gets buy-in from both parties, even if there is lively discussion on how to bring that vision about.
Nevada's voter registration statewide is about 37 percent D and 31 percent R, but the composition of the legislature is much more heavily D than those numbers would indicate. To the extent that there is bi-partisanship in legislation, then our state will have a much more stable course as it relates to public policy. To the extent that legislation is partisan and objectionable to Republicans, then on the election cycle where Republicans prevail we could see large changes in public policy. This does not benefit our state.
I understand that civil rights legislation identified communities of interest and districts should be drawn to allow minority communities the opportunity to elect legislators that can represent their interests.
As the son of two college professors, I am interested in education and ways to improve outcomes in our state. I would also be interested in taxation and Commerce and Labor.
In my life, I have naturally gravitated towards leadership roles, but this kind of respect has to be earned. One does not always need a leadership position to be a leader, although I can see myself taking on a leadership position with experience in the legislature.
