Energy, Utilities & Environment: “I moved to Las Vegas in 1995 with my two daughters. I have resided in Assembly District 10 for the past 28 years. I entered the Electrical JATC in 1996 and am now a retired member of IBEW Local 357. I enjoyed my 27 years as a Journeyman Wireman working on many projects from my first - New York-New York to my last - Fountainebleau.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign themes)) Healthcare: “A living wage is the backbone of my campaign. I believe all of Nevada will benefit in the future if everyone is provided a living wage. All Nevadans should make a living wage which includes wages, health benefits and the ability to retire with dignity.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign themes)) Public Safety & Justice: “Once Nevadans earn a living wage, parents will be able to help their children with homework, helping to improve scores. Also, parents would know what their children are doing and hopefully lower our crime rates.”
