Policy Positions

Climate(4)

Strongly supports advancing next-generation nuclear energy as a reliable, carbon-free power source for Nevada's energy strategy.

"That is why I strongly support advancing next-generation nuclear energy. Modern nuclear technology is safe, efficient, and capable of producing large amounts of reliable, carbon-free power."

Acknowledges a role for renewable energy but argues it cannot currently meet large-scale demand and has lifecycle and wildlife drawbacks.

"While renewable energy has a role to play, it is not yet capable of meeting large-scale demand on its own. Renewable technologies come with limitations, including lifecycle waste and impacts on wildlife, and they cannot currently match the consistent, high-output energy required by growing industries like data centers."

Supports protecting public lands from large-scale sale and pushing for stronger enforcement against illegal dumping.

"I oppose the large-scale sale of public lands that would take away opportunities for Nevadans to hunt, fish, hike, and experience the outdoors. Protecting public lands also means holding people accountable. Illegal dumping has no place in Nevada, and I will push for stronger enforcement to stop those who treat our lands as a dumping ground."

Supports developing new fuel distribution infrastructure and pipeline access to stabilize fuel costs and reduce dependence on California refineries.

"I support the development of a new fuel distribution facility in eastern Nevada, supplied by pipeline access from Utah. This investment would strengthen our energy infrastructure, stabilize fuel costs, and reduce our dependence on out-of-state supply disruptions."

Criminal Justice(1)

Supports increasing federal funding to help municipalities hire more police officers, particularly to combat sex crimes, due to staffing shortages in Northern Nevada.

"To help solve this issue, I want to increase federal funding to help municipalities hire more police officers and designate a percentage of those hired to focus their efforts to combat sex crimes."

Healthcare(1)

Supports increased regulation of pharmaceutical and insurance companies to prevent price gouging, calling arbitrary high drug pricing immoral.

"I am normally not a fan of heavy regulation, but we are at the point where the pharmaceutical and Insurance companies need more regulation to protect the public from price gouging. Especially if they won't police themselves. I'm in favor of capitalism and making a profit but creating life-saving drugs and not making them affordable just because a company can make a high arbitrary price for profit is damn right immoral."

Immigration(3)

Supports a secure southern border as essential policy.

"A secure southern border and the deportation of individuals who commit serious crimes are essential."

Supports transitioning to a merit-based, points system and creating more accessible legal pathways to work to support economic growth and reduce bureaucracy.

"We should also consider transitioning from a sponsorship-based model to a merit-based, points system. Creating more accessible legal pathways to work would not only support economic growth but could also help reduce Social Security fraud."

Supports deportation of individuals who commit serious crimes, while opposing enforcement actions against hardworking, law-abiding immigrants.

"A secure southern border and the deportation of individuals who commit serious crimes are essential. At the same time, we need to modernize and streamline our immigration system. It is counterproductive when hardworking, law-abiding immigrants are caught up in enforcement actions intended for dangerous offenders."
