| Collapse all
- Healthcare - Nevada's healthcare has many opportunities for improvement. There aren't enough physicians (we are 48th in the country for number of doctors per capita), and we need more providers of all kinds including nurses and other ancillary staff. We need to focus on making Nevada more welcoming of medical personnel, as well as pipeline programs to encourage Nevada's youth to be educated in the medical field.
- Education - Nevada's education for our children is failing. We need to closely analyze where the education funding is going. We need to work toward better pay for teachers, smaller classrooms, and improved graduation rates. Rebecca believes parents are the best judge of their children's needs, and as such she believes strongly in school choice.
- Economy - As a life-long conservative, Rebecca believes in small government, decreased taxes and decreased burdensome regulation for business in Nevada.
I'm going into politics for the right reasons and not for personal gain.
Education - We need to be doing a better job educating the youth in Nevada, which will enable us to have a superior workforce and productive adults in the community.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
