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?

Flemming Larsen (R)

School Choice: Our children is the foundation of our future. Parents must be allowed to choose the best school for their children and allow the money to follow the child. The Clark County School District has become too big manage effectively. The current system must be reorganized into smaller districts. This will reduce bureaucracy and increase accountability of school boards. An efficiently managed school system will allow for smaller class sizes and attract and retain competent teachers. Parents and teachers will lead the way and do what's best for our children.

Enhance Public Safety: I support our police. Defend the police NOT defund the police. One of the reasons my family and I moved to Nevada is because we enjoy the quality of life Nevada affords us. I will ensure our first responders have the necessary tools to protect us and do their job safely. We will invest in technology to fight crime more effectively. We will promote community-based organizations that help prevent crime. We will deal with addiction and mental health issues through enhanced education and increased recovery resources. We will combat human trafficking through community awareness and support for organizations established to prevent it.

Gain Control of Taxes & Spending: Taxes and government spending have a huge impact on our daily life. Every tax hike and budget increase results in less money in the pockets of Nevadans to pursue their own financial goals. I will restore fiscal accountability and oversight of our tax dollars. This means cutting wasteful spending and trimming bloated budgets instead of raising or creating more taxes. Reduce frivolous spending and ensure that funds are properly allocated to healthcare, schools, and safety. I will support getting rid of the unfair commerce tax.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Flemming Larsen (R)

Oppose Government Overreach: It's quite apparent in the last two years that our governor has too much power with the use of “Emergency Power.” We need to give the power back to the people and eliminate the endless amount of power the governor has over our affairs. Whether the governor is republican or democrat, the legislature needs to vote on an extension of this emergency power. Government overreach and control have crippled many businesses and shut down schools for way too long.
