Campaign priorities: “Improve students’ education by protecting parents’ voices, supporting teachers, and promoting school choice. • Promote strong, diverse economic development –including in the gaming and tourism industries – to bring good-paying jobs to our district. • Cut regulations on businesses so it’s easier to run a company, employ people, and drive our economy forward.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2024)) Education: “I am extremely passionate about education. My mother was a school teacher in Clark County for over 24 years at inner city schools. I understand the issue very intimately. It is a complex problem to solve to increase our education metrics for our state, but we can start by passing legislation to increase school choice through the opportunity scholarship program already in place in Nevada. We also have to look at the education system as an essential part of our infrastructure.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2024)) Elections, ethics & government: “I am a huge believer in financial transparency and government accountability. It is the job of our elected officials to make sure that tax payer dollars are being spent in an efficient manner. If they are not then the people responsible for the failures should be held accountable. In business, if a project goes over budget and over the due date, the person/people responsible face consequences. It should be the same for government.”

Jobs, wages & cost of living: “As a business and community leader, I’ve seen the resiliency of Nevadans firsthand, and I’m ready to help get Nevada back on track. It starts with diversifying our economy and bringing more good-paying jobs to our state while expanding our tourism footprint, ensuring health care is affordable for all of us, and by standing up to anyone who tries to block funding for our kids’ schools.”
