Governor of Nevada (4 yr terms, 2 term limit=8 yrs) The Governor is Nevada’s chief executive and serves a four-year term. As the head of the executive branch, the Governor proposes the state budget, signs or vetoes legislation passed by the Legislature, appoints leaders of state agencies and boards, and oversees the implementation of state laws. The Governor also plays a central role in emergency response, economic development, education funding, healthcare policy, public safety, and environmental planning. Because the office sets the overall direction of state government and has significant authority over appointments and policy priorities, this race is critical to ensuring accountable leadership, responsible fiscal management, and the protection of democratic norms and constitutional rights for all Nevadans.

1. Education 2. Environment 3. Human rights
With education, we must find a way to increase budgets for K-12 education. We need more programs that will lead to better post secondary education. Students need to have building blocks to futures they want to pursue, no matter what that future holds.
Environment is an issue because what we have going on with the building of data centers and mining of resources is causing harm to lands in Nevada. It also causes harm to the residents that are nearby those operations. We need to have a moratorium on these things.
I want to work with the state assembly to make marginalized communities feel safe again in Nevada. I want to pass legislation to protect the rights of all, especially transgender people.
To show proof of citizenship to register to vote should never be necessary. Everyone doesn’t have a document proving they are a citizen. Not all citizenship documents match the current name of the person either. To require someone to show proof of citizenship to register to vote could cause undue hardship on that person. There are safeguards already in place when you register to vote here in NV.
Protecting Nevadans is my first priority. With the data centers, I would put a moratorium on the building of them. I also want to work with the state assembly to safeguard, via legislation, any Nevadans data.
With the situation of ICE, I would protect all Nevadans by deploying the National Guard to help the people living here. I would make sure everyone in Nevada feels safe.
Family courts so we can protect the children.
Education so we can give children a better future.
Environment so we can have a sustainable future for Nevada.
Human rights so we can help all marginalized communities, especially those communities that are losing rights in other states.
When someone comes to Nevada I want them to feel safe and secure, that nobody is coming for them.

1. We must modernize our state revenue. My “Fair Share Tax Package for Billionaires & Corporations” ends our bad habit of writing blank checks to big businesses while making working families pick up the tab.
2. "Affordability" can't just be a buzzword. We have to make meaningful investments in everyday Nevadans. I will freeze residential rent increases and insurance premiums, offset federal cuts to SNAP benefits, and require corporations receiving tax abatements to raise their minimum wage.
3. We need change in Nevada. We can do better. But we cannot hope to achieve these things alone or by doing the same things that got us here, not even as Democrats. That’s why I’m running for Governor, with real solutions, and a new way forward.
I am opposed to requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, or any other barriers to voting including closed primaries (I would allow non-partisans to vote in party primaries). We must always support free and fair elections and strengthen Nevada’s laws to protect voter information and support faster collection of voting results.
On day one, I would sign an executive order to rescind Nevada’s collaboration under the 287(g) program, and to create publicly available and transparent tracking of attorney general and all state law enforcement officer (LEO) efforts to arrest/prosecute misconduct by Department of Homeland Security/Customs and Border Protection/ICE officials.
I would also sign on day one an executive order ending state tax abatements on data centers.
1. A $4 billion or greater reinvestment in Nevada’s budget by modernizing the tax code and other regulations to equalize the burden of providing basic services;
2. A $2 billion planned investment in education over the next decade, bringing Nevada in line with average national per-pupil spending;
3. 15,000 new jobs added to Nevada’s economy, bringing Nevada in line with average national employment rates.
