Healthcare Quality healthcare is important to everyone. Nevada must continue to improve Access to quality health care services for the people that live here. Expanding the Silver State Healthcare Exchange with a focus on improving our state Medicaid system will support a healthier Nevada community. Healthcare It is important that we create stability for our healthcare providers and hospitals by increasing the Medicaid reimbursement rate for doctors, health care providers, and hospitals. The Medicaid reimbursement rate has not increased in over a decade. The Nevada Legislature must also address the shortage of nurses, doctors, and mental health/behavioral health care hospitals in the State of Nevada. Taxes / Budget Lisa is a pro-business legislator who believes that our state government needs to follow the example of Nevada households like yours, and live within their means. Lisa does not support legislation that will raise your taxes. She supports more efficient spending of your taxpayer dollars and creating a “business friendly” environment in our state. Economy Lisa will focus on creating an attractive “business friendly” environment in Nevada, by supporting legislation that allows for expanding the operations of existing businesses and attracting new businesses to Nevada to diversify the economy. Excessive regulations and increased taxes on businesses, can destroy a business, and thus destroy people’s jobs. Creating a “business friendly” environment in Nevada, and retaining jobs for people will improve the standard of living for residents of Nevada. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Children are our State and Country’s most precious resource, but they often lack the skills to protect themselves. It is our responsibility, as parents, teachers and Legislators to keep children safe. Taxes / Budget America’s senior citizens have worked hard for their retirement. Social Security is a promise that must be kept; Lisa is an ally for our senior citizens and retirees. Education She will fight to protect and build upon these “school choice” reforms by ensuring that every child has access to a highly effective teacher and that these teachers are recognized and rewarded for their outstanding skills. Lisa is also an advocate for our Home schooling families. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Lisa believes it is vital that Nevadans are safe in their homes and in their communities, and deserve the best police and fire protection possible, to keep our community safe. This means offering a fair, but attractive compensation plan for public safety personnel that is highly competitive with what is found in other locales and encourages highly skilled and reputable officers to choose Nevada as their home. Defense / Veterans Lisa is a strong advocate for our U.S. Veterans- It is important that we fulfill our commitments to the men and women who have served and are currently serving in the United States military, all of whom sacrifice dearly to protect our country and keep us safe. Our Veterans deserve to receive the benefits they were promised. Lisa will continue to work with veterans groups to find solutions to the issues that veterans face today, and support legislation that will help veterans to achieve their goals in the future. Education Lisa will draw on this extensive background to provide better educational opportunities for all of our children. She favors accountability over public education by giving parents additional “school choice” through the expansion of Charter schools, Education Savings Account Vouchers, and Opportunity Scholarships. Guns Lisa is a strong supporter of your 2nd Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution.
