Issue Position

With a population of less than 200,000, the Las Vegas I grew up in was less than one-third the size it is now, and I liked nothing more than being outdoors in the nearby desert camping, hiking, and fishing with my parents. As Senator, I will fight to ensure that future generations are able to experience the incredible natural resources Nevada has to offer, just like I did.

As U.S. Senator, I will work to ensure we are fully utilizing Nevada's abundance of wind, solar, and geothermal energy resources and increase investments in renewable energy technology to create green jobs here in Nevada. I will also work to preserve and protect Nevada's incredible public lands -- a unique, valuable resource in Nevada that creates thousands of jobs and brings in millions of dollars into our state's economy every year. We must safeguard our natural resources and stop Big Oil from receiving unnecessary tax subsidies.
