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?

Brandon Mills (L)

Government has grown far beyond the bounds of a ciilized society. It is tyrannical and we mush shrink it.

Government imposed lockdowns, enforced mask and vaccine mandates, they closed our schools and businesses, and called us "non-essential". This must never be allowed to happen again.

CCSD is an abomination. We must break it up, give parents choice, and end the vicious indoctrination program our children suffer under.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Brandon Mills (L)

I pledge to fight for LIBERTY for ALL Nevadans by shrinking the size and scope of government back to a level befitting a free people. We have allowed the beast to grow far too large and have ceded much too much of our freedom. I will fight to reverse that trend.

I will fight to make lockdowns and mandates impossible for Carson City to impose. I will fight to free Nevada's children and parents from an abusive and inept monopolist school system. I will fight to free our businesses from crony regulations that hamper productivity. I will fight to eliminate waste and fraud from our budget.

I will use my position in the legislature to spotlight corrupt and tyrannical politicians, programs, and bureaucrats. I will fight for the liberty of not just my constituents, but all Nevadans.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Brandon Mills (L)

Anatomy of the State - Murray Rothbard

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Brandon Mills (L)

Integrity, courage and a passion for liberty

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Brandon Mills (L)

Zero lust for power and a desire to expand individual liberties.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

Brandon Mills (L)

The separation of powers is supposed to defend the freedom of the individual. Something has gone horribly wrong.
