2022 Questionnaire
Please share briefly what inspired you to run for this office and why you feel you’re qualified for the position.
Congress is unresponsive because Primary elections have devolved to favor the most partisan candidate. Moderate candidates can no longer anticipate that enough voters will turnout to win. Moderate voters stopped turning out at Primary elections because Moderate candidates don’t run.
As a Veteran Moderate I want to spotlight this disconnect reverse the trend. Veterans and Moderate members are at an all time low.
What policies would you propose for dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our state’s economy?
No position.
Nevada has historically protected the right to abortion, including protecting the right in statute 30 years ago by a vote of the people. However, there remain barriers to access in the state. Do you support not only the right to abortion but policies that improve equitable access to abortion care?
Moving forward we must maximize efforts to quickly transfer federal land to State affordable housing projects with the 1998 SNV Lands Act.
Congress must update Opportunity Zones to better align funding where it was intended.
The state of Nevada is facing an unprecedented shortage of health care providers – a problem that impacts every area of medicine, including the provision of sexual and reproductive care. Do you support removing the physician-only requirement and allowing advanced practice clinicians (APCs) to provide this vital care to patients with training and certification?
No position.
Comprehensive, age and developmentally appropriate, medically-accurate, inclusive sex education has been proven to improve students’ long-term health outcomes, yet it is not required that students be provided with this information in their sex-ed programs. Do you believe that public school sex-ed programs should be comprehensive, medically accurate, and inclusive?
Health Privacy of the 14th Amendment should be further reinforced to codify Roe v Wade.
It is well documented that patients of color face greater obstacles to obtaining sexual and reproductive health care than non-Hispanic white Americans – a pattern that results in worse health outcomes overall for BIPOC patients. Do you not only acknowledge systemic racism’s role in public health disparities but will you pursue policies that seek to rectify the historical harm of systemic racism and advance equitable access to health care?
This question is why unclear.
My general position on sex decisions for any matter is that before age 18 an American doesn’t have any options. Just as they have no legal position for to make any commitments.
Knowing that the death penalty is exorbitantly expensive, racially discriminatory, and does not promote true healing for victims family members, do you support its abolition and do you think ending the death penalty is a crucial part of criminal justice reform?
Priority healthcare is the top issue of my campaign. Seniors, Veterans, people in underserved areas, mentally ill and the other millions of Americans who already receive government paid healthcare should be on one system.
Anti-transgender bills are being introduced across the United States that attempt to trans prevent people from having access to health care, gender re-assignment surgery, and access to sports in schools. Do you support transgender equality and access to healthcare and an athletic school experience?
Yes. This is a recent change inspired by Ozzie Fumo’s campaign.
Nevada has a significant undocumented population, how will you ensure your office is accessible to all Nevadans?
I don’t know enough to speak on this. I’ll learn.
How would you use your office to strengthen the rights of the undocumented population and their access to their legal protections, critical public services, and quality of life?
100% citizenship for anyone living here.
Describe your understanding of the Confidential Address Program. What would be your approach to inform community members of this program?
Yes.
