Joshua Leavitt completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Leavitt's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I am committed to making starting a business easier by lowering fees, simplifying the process, and removing outdated and pointless regulations.
- Nevada wastes millions of dollars a year on redundant technology, licensing, and services by allowing each government agency to control its budget, staff, and purchasing power. As a former CIO, I know the value of aligning technology strategies. I will help the State create an effective technology governance plan to control spending and align resources to serve Nevadans better.
- Improving Nevada’s education system is a critical priority for the future of our State and is the cornerstone of individual success and the foundation of a thriving community. As a State Senator, I will focus on reducing class size, teacher support, accountability and transparency, and making Nevada a top state for education.
Budget - Reducing the money spent on governmental functions and increasing revenue by cutting business costs and regulations.
