| Collapse all
From age 13, I volunteered at the local hospital. After studying the U.S. Constitution during my senior year of high school, I fell in love with civics. I continued my studies and worked in hospitals, federal and state governments. I am a small business owner.
I have a strong belief that each of us plays a role in our government. And I see tremendous opportunity for Nevada, but we must improve our mental health system. To do so, we need a strong candidate to break the swinging partisan pendulum and break away from old preconceptions of perfect candidates.- Mental health does not discriminate based on party affiliation, and neither do I. Instead, I'm running statewide for Lieutenant Governer so all Nevada voices can be heard.
- As Lieutenant Governor - I could preside over the Nevada Senate unbound and unfettered by partisan agendas.
- Congress is giving Nevada over $6 billion to invest in addressing the disparity and disproportionate devastation many families experienced. With this much money, Nevada can increase the number of services providers, reduce barriers to access, and make our communities a place to live and work, even if something happens.
I'm am lucky, though; with 15 years of recovery and 8 years advocating for improvements, I know where the gaps are. Unfortunately, our system was flawed before the pandemic, but now we have an opportunity to fix it.
Congress is giving Nevada over $6 billion to invest in addressing the disparity and disproportionate devastation many families experienced. With this much money, Nevada can increase the number of services providers, reduce barriers to access, and make our communities a place to live and work, even if something happens.
Additionally, the Lieutenant Governor serves in both the executive and legislative branches of state government and is the only one to do so. As president of the Nevada Senate, the Lieutenant Governor may only vote to break a tie. However, a tie is unlikely because there are 21 Nevada Senators.
"Disturbing the Peace" (1991) by Vaclav Havel speaks well about the moral authority of government and how people can make a change.
"The Politics Industry: How Political Innovation Can Break Partisan Gridlock and Save Our Democracy" (2020) by Katherine Gehl and Michael Porter. A profound deconstruction of the behavior of parties as corporate competitors. Also, an illuminating review of the need and opportunity for citizens to make a substantial change - if they want to.
Movies:
"Lincoln" (2012) is loaded with nuances of the legislative role in amending the constitution, the power of single votes, and the role of the states in determining who their federal representatives are.
After all - the people ultimately decide who to vote for.
Again, at 15, I washed dishes at "Happy Days Diner" in Boulder City for about a year and a half.
The third time I worked as a dishwasher was in 2007 - a week after I graduated with my Master's I was desperate for a job. I found one earning $7.25 per hour.
Flexibility to Focus: As a "part-time" job, the lieutenant governor can focus on important issues. I will focus on making substantial investments to improve mental health accessibility. This issue is very complex and has a direct impact on our economy.
