Campaign priorities: “A quality education in Nevada should not be available only to those with the right zip code. That is why I am a strong supporter of school choice. As a mother of two, I know that all students learn differently and have different skill sets. Parents should be able to choose the school that works best for their child, period. • We must have safe streets for our kids to play on, drive on, and for our families to live on.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2022))
Jobs, wages & cost of living: “I focus on a few key areas that most affect my constituents-education, public safety, economic stability and diversification, healthcare, and victims' rights. I am proud of the work I have done in those areas and look forward to the opportunity to continue that work. I am a proud champion of consistent conservative values and I believe we need more leaders who share our values in the Nevada Assembly.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2022))
