Top Issues

Environment / Energy Focuses on food deserts where no grocery store exists. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Every stop reason is recorded in the system before the officer makes contact — creating a clear, auditable record. Environment / Energy Excess energy stored in large battery systems for use at night and during peak demand. Criminal Justice / Public Safety The current bail system disproportionately impacts those who can least afford it. People of color are more likely to be held pretrial and receive higher bail amounts. Men are more likely to be detained than women for similar offenses. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Organizations awarded public contracts must not use NDAs to conceal misconduct affecting public trust. Criminal Justice / Public Safety License plate scanning identifies registration, insurance, and equipment violations before any stop occurs. Wages / Job Benefits Companies that steal from workers will face criminal prosecution — not just a fine they can absorb as a cost of doing business. Environment / Energy Electricity delivered to homes and businesses at cost — no profit markup, no middleman. Wages / Job Benefits Nevada Worker Power Agency A new state agency — fully accountable to the public — that exists solely to empower workers and enforce fairness. Environment / Energy Export surplus clean energy to neighboring states that need it. Housing Rental income is tied to approximately 7x the property's local property taxes annually. Because Nevada property taxes are capped at a nominal increase each year, this threshold moves slowly and predictably — meaning rents won't change drastically year to year. Healthcare A state-run healthcare option that works alongside private insurance — but is designed to be better. Optional, not mandatory. Covers all essential care. No denial of doctor-approved treatment. Lower total cost. Environment / Energy 10 large-scale solar farms capture Nevada's abundant sunshine and convert it to electricity. Taxes / Budget Companies receiving tax breaks operate with public investment — that investment demands transparency. Healthcare Ending hidden conflicts. Restoring transparency. Putting patients first. Nevada's healthcare system should work for patients — not corporations. Housing No additional tax on your primary residence. Homeownership is fully protected. If you own a home and live in it — nothing changes for you.
