Political Platform
Taxes - Continue to support the Governor’s stand of no new tax increases.
Education - Work to make the Clark County School District accountable for its spending before just writing blank checks.
Crime - Enact stronger laws and increased punishment for those who unlawfully enter our homes and abuse the residents.
Public Integrity - We need to put clear, effective, and strong emphasis to reduce the number of individuals who believe public service is a clear path to abuse the trust that was given to them.
Transportation - With the continued increase of families and vehicles in Southern Nevada it is time we start to think out side the box. We must do a better job at getting people to and from work.
Health Care - The current health care crisis must be addressed and reviewed completely and publicly. We need to re-establish confidence in our health care system. There is no reason health care facilities in Las Vegas can not be a world class providers.
Immigration - Immigration is a regional issue not a political one. The State Assembly and State Senate need to re-visit any existing laws and perhaps add a contract clause to all state contracts that would give value if a vendor has cooperated with the Department of Homeland Security.
