• Nevada has the fourth most expensive housing market in the country, according to a study done by Wallethub. We also had the fastest rising rent in the country for a 5 year period, leveling out in the last 12 months at a cost over 30% higher than pre-pandemic.

    Affordable housing is scarce, with an increasing deficit of over 80,000 affordable housing units. This year, that number got even higher as a number of affordable housing units were taken off the market.

    My Plan:

    • Cap Rent Increases - limit the amount that landlords can raise the rent each year.

    • Build Affordable housing - not suburban tract homes that no one can afford.

    • Hold bad landlords accountable by closing loopholes that allow them to keep their units infested, moldy, and broken.

    • Redesign for mixed use and density - Nevada has two large metro areas that could be building UP and not out.

  • Another recent study claimed that Nevada is among the states with the slowest wage growth in the country. Numerous reports have shown that the cost of living has far exceeded the growth of wages, making it hard for regular people to keep up.

    Meanwhile, corporate profits are at all time high, and CEOs increasingly use more and more of these profits to pay themselves giant salaries.

    It’s clear that we must raise wages through the legislature, to a living wage of $23 an hour, and we must index it to inflation so that it never falls behind again.

  • The cost of living crisis is out of control. To get us back on track, I believe we need:

    • public owned grocery stores

    • free, universal childcare

    • Moratorium on data centers (which are increasing our electric bills)

    • A public option for car insurance

    • Cap drug prices

  • Public money belongs in public schools. I oppose the use of public funds to pay for private charter schools and will support increased investments in our school districts.

    I also believe that Nevada needs more enrichment programs in our schools, and after school. We should be investing in programs that teach our kids arts, science, technology, and sports at a young age.

    Our students are the future and I believe we must treat them like it.

  • I support Medicare for All and will support any policies which limit the power of health insurance and increase the affordability of healthcare. This includes caps on prescription drug prices, safe nurse to patient ratios, investing in free clinics, and putting doctors in the drivers seat on what insurance must cover.

    To prevent the defunding of healthcare by the Trump administration, we must begin taxing corporations to protect and expand Nevada’s public option.

  • When CEO pay has surpassed worker pay by over 400% and large corporations are spending their profits buying their own stocks, rather than fairly compensating their employees, it’s time we start demanding they pay their fair share, pay every employee a fair wage, limit the pay gap between employee and CEO, and protect the right to organize.

    I support a full ban on corporate money in politics and will write the bill on day one.

  • I believe that ICE, an agency created in 2003 which is being by Trump as a personal army, must be abolished in its entirety. I will work towards that goal by supporting an end to collaboration between ICE and law enforcement, supporting an end to masking, and protecting the state from ICE bombardments.
