- As a public health professional, I believe that healthcare and prescription drug costs should be affordable for all, not just a lucky few.
- I support policies that promote economic growth and wage growth for all.
- I oppose further burdening Nevada families with more taxes and tolls.
Nevada ranks last or near last for access and quality of healthcare, including mental health care. We have ranked last for decades, and it is apparent in our mental health outcomes: Nevada has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation. Providing the lowest-level of access and quality to social services is apparent in our health outcomes. I am tired of waiting for Nevada legislators to care about my and my communities' health. Nevadans deserve the same quality of care as the rest of the nation, to have an equal chance of creating a fulfilling and enjoyable life.
Now, after five generations, I am asking for it to be my turn to protect Sparks and Reno's legacy and to champion its future. Voting for me means having someone in the state legislature who:
Knows the economic landscape and wants to protect the advancement of small businesses and supports the sustainability of large ones.
Has been a life-long, multi generational resident of Reno and Sparks, but welcomes tomorrow's newcomers to find new homes to grow their lives in.
Reno and Sparks needs a transit system that serves the needs of all the people who work, live, and play in the area.
Has experienced the Nevada school system first hand in notoriously low-performing and under-resourced schools in the district. In understanding my education in Nevada, I went to other states and even abroad to better understand the various structures of educational attainment, and believe I can bring new ideas to improve our education system, with less taxpayer money spent, in order to provide the resources and security they need to give our youth every opportunity to achieve their dreams.
I was appointed as a youth member to the Reno Youth City Council and eventually became the Youth Mayor, controlling a $70,000 budget for youth programming.
I interned for former Congressman Jim Gibbons.
I went to Washington D.C. as a Congressional Page, living and working in the Capital for the House of Representatives for past Congressman Gibbons.
I returned to Washington D.C as a Senate Page for Senator Harry Reid, in which I lived and worked on the Senate floor.
