Nevada State Assembly District 21

Education: “From growing up in Nevada to serving in the classroom and beyond, Patsy Carvalho’s journey is defined by dedication, leadership, and a steadfast commitment to improving the community she proudly calls home.” (Campaign website)

Education: “Working closely with students and families every day has given Patsy firsthand insight into the challenges facing her community and the areas where systems can better serve the people who depend on them. Through her work in education and service in her church, she remains focused on strengthening families, improving schools, and addressing issues affecting everyday Nevadans, including the cost of living, homelessness, and access to quality healthcare.” (Campaign website)

Economy & Cost of Living: “Strengthening the Economy & Supporting Working Families.” (Campaign website)

Campaign priorities: “Nevada has a real alternative to the two party system-Americans poll consistently saying they want a third party, but they are consistently bullied into voting for the "lesser of two evils" while we watch the federal government grow and our wallets shrink. I'm running to restore power to the people of Nevada. • Our government is corrupt and full of career politicians who hate us. I will never take money from special interests and will fight the expansion of government every step of the way.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))

Elections, ethics & government: “I'm passionate about making government as limited and transparent as possible. Here in Nevada, our state government has totally accepted the madness that comes out of Washington everyday. Nevada is a state rooted in indigenous and frontier history that our government has sought to erase. I will fight for local control wherever I can, break up the toxic relationship between the state and NV Energy, reform CCSD, and support small/local business.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))

Campaign priorities: “Access to reproductive healthcare is a fundamental right and I will fight any effort to criminalize abortion in Nevada • I’m a small business owner and the past two years have been a rollercoaster. It is why I was proud to support legislation that helped small business owners recover from the pandemic by providing over $100 Million dollars in grants. Small business are key to a strong, vibrant economy, and I am committed to helping small business owners throughout Nevada. • The most reliable path to success in this country is through education.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2022))

Education: “Education is the key to a successful and safe community. That has been my model for as long as I can remember. Having a great school system with excellent teachers is vital to Nevada’s future, and for the future of our children. I know this first hand, as my son and I both received an education in this magnificent state.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2022))
