Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Jacob Deaville was born in Las Vegas, Nevada and grew up in District 37. Jacob graduated from Faith Lutheran High School and received a Bachelors degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He grew up in a large, but close knit, family whose father instilled an importance on civic responsibility and conservative values. As a result, Jacob went on to co-found the UNLV Campus Conservatives and was elected as the chairman of the UNLV College Republicans. In the heated 2016 political climate, he successfully led efforts against sanctuary status policies, battled systemic political bias in the current collegiate system, and led a grassroots movement of youth involvement in the local political process. Currently, Jacob assists in the operation of a small family business that specializes in structural steel buildings, and this invaluable experience has exposed him to unique projects such as the construction of the City National Arena. This also gives him the opportunity to manage a multitude of substantial projects across the state of Nevada. Aside from business development, Jacob prides himself on his community involvement as well. He is involved in numerous community efforts and continues to serve at his local church.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Nevada before politics - Jacob is committed to putting the best interests of Nevada before career politicians.
• Business & Taxes - Jacob will fight all attempts at raising taxes and will work to reform Nevada's crippling business regulations.
• Constitutional Rights - Jacob will fight to protect the 2nd Amendment and stand for the life of the unborn.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Jacob is passionate about protecting Nevada's way of life. Nevada was built on the ideas of rugged individualism and personal freedom. Recently, radical California policies like "sanctuary state" have begun to influence legislation in our state. Jacob believes it is time that we put Nevada before politics - which means that we do what is best for Nevada before political parties and political parties.

Jacob believes the best way to preserve our way of life is by:

-Maintaining a low tax burden on individuals and businesses
-Putting parents back in charge of their child's education, expanding school choice, and preforming audits of Nevada's public school system
-Defending our Constitutional freedoms like the Second Amendment and the Right to Life

-Standing for Law & Order and backing our Law Enforcement

What is your favorite book? Why?

Liberty and Tyranny - Mark Levin
