Nevada State Assembly District 5
The Nevada State Assembly is the lower chamber of the state Legislature and works alongside the Senate to draft, debate, and enact state laws. All 42 Assembly seats are up for election in 2026, and the Assembly plays a central role in shaping policy on schools, healthcare, housing, jobs, public safety, and state budgeting. Because Assembly members represent local districts and serve two-year terms, these races allow voters to hold lawmakers closely accountable and ensure that policy priorities reflect the needs and values of their communities. These elections matter for democratic representation and for how the state resolves the biggest challenges facing Nevadans.

I would support I.C.E. and the efforts of the federal government.
I believe in the constitution amd the right to due process. I also believe in the sanctity and sovereignty of Nevada.
I believe the boundaries should reflect the will of the voters and deliver the fairest, most just way to reflect the electorate.
There are many.
1st is education. Nevada ranks 48th in the nation. My plan will put us on track to correct our standing and make Nevada education the envy of the world.
2nd - the economy. Repeal the commerce tax, the gas tax, and reduce regulations to make Nevada the premier destination to open a business or relocate a business that create good paying jobs and a sustainable economy.
