Climate(5)
Supports expansion of geothermal energy development as a constant baseline power source and key component of a resilient energy system.
"Geothermal energy is Nevada's overlooked advantage. Nevada possesses some of the strongest geothermal resources in the country. Unlike intermittent energy sources, geothermal provides constant baseline power, making it an essential component of a resilient energy system."
Supports expanding utility-scale and distributed solar production, positioning Nevada as a national leader in solar energy generation.
"Nevada should lead the nation in solar production. Nevada has some of the highest solar potential in the United States. Continued investment in solar infrastructure will strengthen the state's energy independence while supporting new jobs and economic development."
Supports responsible mining of critical minerals with environmental safeguards, balancing resource development with land stewardship.
"Responsible development of these resources can strengthen Nevada's economic position while maintaining environmental safeguards and community protections."
Supports honest water governance and basin sustainability standards, including requiring proof of water supply before approving major development projects.
"Require formal water-readiness review for major housing, industrial, and utility-intensive development proposals. Apply stronger scrutiny to major transfers and conversions of long-standing agricultural use into urban-serving demand."

Criminal Justice(5)
Supports Nevada's existing cannabis legalization framework and opposes creating new state penalties against lawful cannabis consumers, treating legal cannabis use as conduct that should not be selectively punished.
"It is bad governance to legalize a product, tax it, regulate it, and then pretend the state bears no responsibility for the legal confusion created when other rights are affected. This policy does not pretend Nevada can rewrite federal firearms law. It does insist that Nevada should not add new state-level punishment, should not quietly create indirect penalties for lawful cannabis consumers."
Supports harmonizing federal law with state cannabis legalization frameworks, arguing that lawful cannabis use under state law should not be treated as criminal conduct conflicting with other rights.
"Federal and state leaders should work toward harmonizing the law so that cannabis firearm rights in Nevada are not governed by contradictory rules. That may include: Clear federal guidance aligned with state legalization frameworks. Updated statutory language that distinguishes lawful use from criminal conduct."
Supports fair chance hiring for state employment by implementing individualized, job-related review of criminal history rather than blanket bans.
"Implement individualized, job-related review of criminal history for state employment. Evaluate relevance to the role, time since offense, and patterns of repeat behavior. One mistake at nineteen should not become a lifetime ban from public service."
Supports protecting the rights of legal cannabis users and opposes using cannabis purchases as a basis for restricting constitutional rights.
"I will oppose legislation that punishes Nevadans who purchase legal cannabis by stripping or restricting their constitutional rights. Legal conduct under Nevada law should not create selective rights loss through administrative back doors."
Acknowledges Nevada voters' approval of legal cannabis and highlights a federal conflict affecting law-abiding cannabis users' gun rights.
"Nevada voters made their position clear when they approved legal cannabis. Law-abiding adults can purchaseā¦"
Economy(16)
Supports zero-based budgeting and fiscal discipline, requiring government to cut waste before seeking new revenue or taxes.
"Nevada families balance their budgets. State government should do the same. Before seeking new revenue, we must demonstrate fiscal discipline through zero-based auditing, program evaluation, and clear public reporting."
Supports prioritizing small business growth through local enterprise, accountable corporate incentives, and reducing bureaucratic barriers to employment.
"Nevada should grow through local enterprise and responsible investment, not opaque giveaways or bureaucracy that blocks working people from better jobs. When public incentives are used, the public should be able to see the deal and the outcomes."
Supports accountability for corporate incentive agreements, requiring public reporting, measurable benchmarks, and clawback provisions for deals that don't deliver promised jobs and wages.
"Publish a standardized inventory of active abatements, promised job counts, wage and benefits commitments, and compliance status. Strengthen clawback provisions for agreements that do not meet measurable commitments, with timelines and clear triggers. Require that future incentive deals include public-facing benchmarks and a reporting schedule that cannot be skipped."
Supports right-sizing occupational licensing requirements by prioritizing skills and demonstrated competence over unnecessary credential barriers for workers.
"Nevada will modernize licensing and state hiring screens by prioritizing skills and demonstrated competence. Credentials should be required when they protect safety or core job function, not because a system has always done it that way."
Supports enforcing wage and benefits commitments tied to corporate abatements, with transparent compliance reporting.
"Incentive accountability: enforce wage and benefits commitments in corporate abatements and publish compliance transparently."
Supports encouraging domestic supply chains for energy technology manufacturing, including solar-linked manufacturing and development tied to Nevada's critical mineral resources.
"Encourage solar-linked manufacturing and supply chain development. Encourage domestic supply chains for energy technology manufacturing."
Supports fiscal discipline and cutting government waste before raising taxes, with a focus on balanced budgeting and public transparency in spending.
"Nevada families live inside real constraints. Government should too. This plan focuses on stable housing, functional services, skills-first opportunity, protected liberties, and disciplined budgeting with public reporting."
Supports expanding childcare access tied to workforce participation outcomes, with priority for rural communities and nontraditional-hour care for service and shift workers.
"Nevada will expand childcare by building real supply and aligning funding with workforce participation outcomes. We will reinvest in Early Head Start and Head Start capacity first, then expand supports for non-state providers through transparent, measurable programs that prioritize rural access, nontraditional-hour care for service workers, and real affordability for families who make just over the poverty line."
Supports fiscal discipline by cutting wasteful spending before raising taxes, emphasizing that Nevada families balance their budgets and government should do the same.
"Nevada families balance their budgets. State government should do the same."
Supports tax abatements and incentives for businesses as legitimate tools but insists they must be publicly visible, measurable, and enforceable with clawback provisions when obligations are not met.
"Incentives are not inherently bad. Invisible incentives are. Public money and public tax forgiveness should come with public visibility and public standards."
Supports cutting government waste and conducting zero-based auditing before pursuing tax increases, prioritizing fiscal transparency.
"She is running for Governor to modernize state government, implement zero based auditing, strengthen fiscal transparency, confront housing extraction, expand childcare tied to workforce infrastructure, protect rights with responsible enforcement, and ensure growth is matched with infrastructure and planning."
Supports raising family wages but with caution about unintended consequences for small business, preferring enforcement and mobility over broad mandates.
"Working families need wages that support life, but policy must account for economic reality and unintended consequences. Nevada will prioritize enforceable standards, accountable incentives, and cost-of-living realism rather than headline promises that destabilize employment or small business."
Supports skills-first workforce mobility through apprenticeships and competency-based hiring to move workers into higher-wage roles.
"Skills-first mobility: expand pathways into higher-wage work through apprenticeships, right-sized credentialing, and fair chance hiring."
Discusses wage stability and cost-of-living realism but does not take an explicit position on minimum wage levels.
"Nevada will prioritize enforceable standards, accountable incentives, and cost-of-living realism rather than headline promises that destabilize employment or small business."
Expresses support for small businesses as part of a coalition backing fiscal discipline and government accountability.
"This campaign is building a coalition of Nevadans who believe government should function with discipline, transparency, and accountability."
No explicit small business policy position stated beyond general references to government efficiency.

Education(10)
Supports transitioning Nevada's education system from seat-time/Carnegie Unit models to competency-based learning frameworks where students progress by demonstrating mastery rather than accumulating hours.
"Nevada should transition toward competency-based learning and credit frameworks that allow students to progress by demonstrating knowledge and skill rather than simply completing a fixed number of hours."
Supports giving teachers greater professional autonomy, reducing administrative and compliance burdens, and involving teachers in competency framework design.
"Teachers are professionals, not timekeeping assistants for an outdated credit system. My administration will support reforms that give educators more room to respond to student needs, adjust pacing based on mastery, and use their judgment in meaningful ways."
Supports integrating career and technical education, apprenticeships, certifications, and project-based learning into graduation pathways on equal footing with traditional academic coursework.
"Competency-based education makes it easier to integrate apprenticeships, certifications, project-based learning, and career pathways into graduation models without treating them like extracurricular side quests."
Supports expanding and right-sizing educator credentialing pathways, particularly in technical fields, to reduce unnecessary barriers without lowering quality standards.
"Review educator credential pathways that create unnecessary barriers without clearly improving teaching quality. Expand practical entry routes in technical and workforce-aligned subject areas where appropriate."
Supports rebuilding and expanding Head Start and Early Head Start capacity with measurable seat expansion targets, prioritizing high-need and rural communities.
"Rebuild and expand Head Start capacity: facilities, staffing pipelines, and measurable seat expansion targets, prioritized in high-need communities."
Supports classroom stability, modernized assessment standards, and universal access to nutritious school meals for K-12 students.
"Education policy must prioritize classroom stability, modernized assessment standards, and universal access to nutritious school meals so students are prepared to learn."
Supports public education that provides structure, standards, and support to enable student achievement.
"The experience reinforced her respect for disciplined preparation, subject mastery, and public education that challenges students to excel. It shaped her belief that Nevada students are capable of high achievement when given structure, standards, and support."
Supports classroom stability as a priority, implying investment in the teaching workforce and educational infrastructure.
"Children should not carry the cost of adult dysfunction. Education policy must prioritize classroom stability, modernized assessment standards, and universal access to nutritious school meals so students are prepared to learn."
The page focuses entirely on structural and curriculum reform; no explicit position on K-12 funding levels is stated.
"Education policy should be designed around whether students are actually learning, not whether the spreadsheet says they spent enough hours in the room."

Guns(6)
Strongly supports Second Amendment rights under Nevada's constitution and opposes any state-level erosion of those rights, even in the context of cannabis legalization.
"The Nevada Constitution states that every citizen has the right to keep and bear arms for security and defense, lawful hunting and recreational use, and other lawful purposes. My administration will treat that language seriously. That means resisting selective erosion, rejecting rights carve-outs created by political convenience, and defending consistency under Nevada law even where federal law remains contradictory."
Opposes new state-level firearm restrictions or penalties targeting lawful cannabis consumers, arguing the state should not add a second layer of punishment beyond existing federal law.
"My administration will oppose state legislation that strips, restricts, or indirectly undermines the rights of Nevadans who lawfully purchase or possess cannabis under Nevada law. That includes attempts to use state licensing, state records, or other indirect mechanisms to penalize lawful consumers in ways that go beyond federal law."
Supports protecting Second Amendment rights for law-abiding cannabis users under state law, arguing that lawful cannabis use should not automatically strip a constitutional right.
"If a resident is not intoxicated while handling a firearm and is not otherwise prohibited from ownership, the law should be clear and consistent. Impairment standards should be treated the same way they are in other contexts. Possession and responsible use under state law should not automatically strip a constitutional right."
Opposes legislation that strips Second Amendment rights from Nevadans who legally purchase cannabis, arguing lawful conduct under Nevada law should not result in constitutional rights loss.
"I will oppose legislation that punishes Nevadans who purchase legal cannabis by stripping or restricting their constitutional rights. Legal conduct under Nevada law should not create selective rights loss through administrative back doors."
Supports maintaining background checks and existing safety guardrails for firearm purchases, while arguing they should be focused on actual risk-creating conduct.
"Nevada gun laws are designed to balance constitutional protections with public safety measures such as background checks and prohibitions for violent offenders. Those guardrails should remain focused on conduct that creates risk."
Addresses a federal conflict between cannabis legalization and gun rights, implying support for protecting the Second Amendment rights of legal cannabis users.
"Nevada voters made their position clear when they approved legal cannabis. Law-abiding adults can purchaseā¦"
Healthcare(2)
Supports expanding in-state mental health and substance-use treatment capacity and integrating behavioral health into primary care.
"Nevadans should not have to leave the state to access substance-use treatment or mental health care. We will expand in-state treatment capacity and integrate behavioral health into primary care systems."
Supports expanding mental health and substance use treatment infrastructure in Nevada so residents do not have to leave the state to access care.
"She has seen peers leave Nevada to access substance use treatment and believes Nevadans should not have to leave their home state to heal."
Social Issues(2)
Supports maintaining Nevada's existing state-law protections for abortion access and defends the Nevada Shield Law (SB 131) preventing Nevada agencies from assisting other states in prosecuting legal reproductive healthcare.
"Nevada already protects the legal right to abortion under state law. My administration will defend that stability and support Nevada's Shield Law approach, including Senate Bill 131, which prevents Nevada agencies from assisting other states in investigations or prosecutions for reproductive health care that is legal in Nevada."
Supports defending equal civil marriage protections and strengthening their durability in state practice to ensure legal stability for same-sex couples regardless of federal political changes.
"Nevada voters removed the outdated same-sex marriage ban language from the state constitution in 2020. My administration will continue to defend equal civil marriage and strengthen its durability in state practice so families have legal stability and equal treatment under state law regardless of federal political turbulence."
