| Collapse all
- Nevada has a real alternative to the two party system-Americans poll consistently saying they want a third party, but they are consistently bullied into voting for the "lesser of two evils" while we watch the federal government grow and our wallets shrink. I'm running to restore power to the people of Nevada.
- Our government is corrupt and full of career politicians who hate us. I will never take money from special interests and will fight the expansion of government every step of the way.
- This country was founded on the principle that a person has the right to live their life the way they see fit. Whether you are white, black, gay, straight, religious, atheist, Democrat or Republican we all share the human instinct to pursue our own destiny. No state has better embodied that spirit in our union's history than Nevada. Whoever you are, I want to give you back the power to make the decisions for your own life that the government has wrongfully taken away.
Here in Nevada, our state government has totally accepted the madness that comes out of Washington everyday. Nevada is a state rooted in indigenous and frontier history that our government has sought to erase. I will fight for local control wherever I can, break up the toxic relationship between the state and NV Energy, reform CCSD, and support small/local business.
