Campaign priorities: “We have a new Administration in Washington, D.C. yet federal politics remain as divisive as ever. Most Americans are sick of partisan politics; elected representatives who refuse to co-operate with people of other political parties, regardless of the issue. While I do not compromise on principles, I believe that working together on non- partisan issues that are important to everyone, regardless of their political party affiliation, is in the best interest of the people.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
Campaign priorities: “The 81st Nevada Legislative Session ended “Sine Die” on May 31, 2021. I write today to inform you of the hard work that I did on your behalf during the 120 day Legislative Session. I am proud to announce that six of the Bills that I sponsored were signed into law. I worked together with Republicans and Democrats, to create bi-partisan legislation to benefit all Nevadans.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
