Nevada State Senate District 20

“I come from the trades, and that experience has shown me how laws and regulations affect people in the real world. I have spent more than two decades working on major projects, at the Nevada Test Site, and alongside workers, contractors, and management. I have also seen firsthand how systems like workers’ compensation can become overly complicated and fail the people they are supposed to protect. That experience has taught me that good laws need to be clear, practical, and structured around how people actually work and live.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))

“I am most passionate about policies that affect working families in their everyday lives. That includes workers’ compensation reform, fair labor standards, workforce training, infrastructure, and making sure laws are written clearly and work the way they are intended. I also care deeply about healthcare access, mental health, affordable housing, and helping families navigate government systems without unnecessary barriers.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))

“I think Nevada’s biggest challenge over the next decade is whether we can keep growing without pricing people out or breaking the systems we depend on. Water, power, roads, schools, housing, and healthcare all have to keep up. We also cannot keep depending so heavily on tourism and gaming. I understand that personally. During the 2008 recession, I was out of work for more than a year and a half between 2009 and 2010. When one part of Nevada’s economy gets hit, working families feel it fast.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))
