Issue Position

When elected, I will strive to attract sustainable industries that can withstand market fluctuations, and ensure that our Nevadans are the first hired. Our state needs to keep up with future trends by creating jobs in renewable energy, science, and technology. In addition to job creation, we need a prepared workforce that is equipped with the required skills to obtain such jobs. As our middle class is under attack, I support a minimum wage increase to $15 an hour. However, wages are not enough. I will push for affordable, quality healthcare and prescription coverage, paternity leave, and military family benefits.
