2016

The following issues were listed on Boylan's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“	Economy: Diversification of the economy in Nevada especially Las Vegas, will help us to avoid the tragedy of homes lost due to mini recessions and dishonest investors. We the people deserve better than what we’ve been given by politicians and politics as usual. National Security: I have seen the tremendous strain on our fighting men and women (and their families) during this period of continuous irregular warfare for several years now, and have taught and spoken about this on many occasions, calling Iran and Islamic terrorists the greatest threat to our nation. Iran Nuclear Deal: I am strongly against this deal that not only threatens America, but assures a horrendous tragedy for our friends in Israel – the only functioning democracy in the Middle East. Education:No I do not support school vouchers and charter schools, I say lets make the education system we have better, and prepare our future leaders from a young age in both technology and leadership. Social Security: Our senior citizens have helped make this the greatest country in the world, it is incumbent on us to make sure their golden years are as stress free as possible, and that Medicare and Social Security will be there for them and for future beneficiaries.	”
