Healthcare: “Maria will strengthen Nevada's economy by cutting red tape for small businesses, reducing regulations and promoting positive working conditions and careers in the trades. While reasonable rules are necessary to ensure safety and accountability, too many regulations exist solely to obstruct competition and make it harder for small businesses and entrepreneurs to succeed.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) Education: “Every Nevadan deserves to feel safe where they live, work and send children to school. Maria will support law enforcement and first responders and focus on keeping crime off our streets and families safe by cracking down on drug traffickers and organized theft.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) Fiscal Oversight & Accountability: “Legislators work for the people of Nevada, not the other way around. Maria will champion transparency and fiscal responsibility in Carson City so you can be confident that your elected officials are fighting for you. Maria will work to ensure elected officials are held to the same standards as the people they serve.”
