Small Business Advocacy
Tourism must work for workers—not just corporations. I will work to connect tourism growth to higher wages and local hiring to promote small-business participation in Nevada's tourism economy.
Policy Ideas
Incentives for businesses that hire locally and pay living wages
Offer state-backed commercial lease mediation to prevent closures
Set a minimum percentage of state contracts for Nevada-based small businesses
Accountable & Effective Government
To hold myself and our lawmakers accountable, I will ensure fair, transparent legislative processes. No backroom deals—Nevadans deserve to see how decisions are made, and when there’s a tie, I will vote in the best interest of working families.
Policy Ideas
Push for transparency in committee assignments and hearings
Advocate for bipartisan collaboration
Use tie-breaking authority strategically on key issues (education, labor, veterans)
Programs for Veterans
Nevada is home to nearly 200,000 brave men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces. As Lieutenant Governor, I will champion a Veterans First Agenda that addresses the three most pressing issues facing our veteran community: employment transition, mental health access, and housing stability.
Policy Ideas
Expand veteran hiring initiatives across state contracts
Expand housing stability and address access to behavioral health for veterans
Create a Nevada Workforce Pipeline Initiative to increase veteran job opportunities
Infrastructure and Smart Growth
Nevada’s rapid growth requires infrastructure that keeps pace with our communities. Our roads are in desperate need of repairs and have become unsafe for our residents and visitors. Growth must be planned, not reactive.
Policy Ideas
Invest in transportation that supports job access
Align infrastructure with economic development goals
Expand broadband access across rural Nevada
Economic Development
Nevada’s economy must continue to grow and diversify to provide stable, high-quality jobs to keep up with our rising cost of living.
Policy Ideas
Create a targeted, aggressive strategy to rebuild international tourism.
Attract technology, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing industries
Expand workforce training and certification programs
