2022 Questionnaire
Please share briefly what inspired you to run for this office and why you feel you’re qualified for the position.
I started paying attention to what was happening in late 2019 with covid and States doing what ever they wanted, I started seeing that we weren’t as FREE as we thought we were, I’m running because I’m sick of Democrats and Rhinos trying to control us! I’m running to stand up for the average American The government forgot that they work for us and I am going to make sure the power gets back to where it belongs, we the people!!!
Would you support allocating more state funds to help DACA recipients to help with higher education?
I feel like we need to care of our own people FIRST!!
How will the state fight the growing issue of homelessness that is increasing in our communities and use funds to expand on shelters for these community members?
We need More programs to help people prepare for work, mental illness, and help them find opportunities to get on their feet.
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?
I do not agree with abortion, I do not support killing a helpless baby, so I will not help legislation to be able to access and get through more barriers to kill more innocent children.
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?
I do agree the more doctors the better so if there was a way that we could have more healthcare than I do I do agree with that
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?
I do feel like everybody should be treated equally.
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?
I do not believe in ending the death penalty, they should be decided on a jury.
True Colors United, a national organization that implements innovative solutions to youth homelessness that focus on the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ young people continues to rate Nevada as critically low, for its State Index on Youth Homelessness (in collaboration with the National Homelessness Law Center) that ranks and scores laws and policies related to preventing and addressing youth homelessness in the United States. Are you willing to support legislation that helps to fund and provide oversight regulations to youth homelessness services?
Yes I do support legislation that will help fund oversight for our youth that are homeless.
Anti-transgender bills are being introduced across the United States that attempt to prevent trans people from having access to health care, gender reassignment surgery, and access to sports in schools. Do you support transgender equality and access to healthcare and an athletic school experience?
I believe if you need to be 21 to buy liquor and you need to be 18 to smoke, or 16 to drive, I do believe you need to be a legal adult to be able to make such a catastrophic and important decision, I’m not against it but I do believe you need to be mature and completely understand the consequences to that decision.
We have seen rental rates increasing at a very alarming rate, in some instances upwards of 30%. How do you see the Nevada Legislature taking action to keep Nevadans in their homes and not being priced out?
I think we need to have a fixed rent where if you rent for 20 years it doesn’t keep going up and up it up
Nevada has one of the largest shares of federal public land of any state in the country, providing important wildlife habitat, places to hunt, camp, fish and hike, and acting as the foundation of a billion dollar outdoor industry. Even so, some lawmakers have promoted policies that seek wholesale transfer of federal ownership of our national lands to states. A) Would you support or oppose these land transfer policies? B) Would should the State of Nevada’s role be in the management and ownership of federal land?
I would have to look more into this.
State investments in conservation provide resources for a wide range of public benefit, like the management of wildlife and state land, and the creation and maintenance of trails and other recreational facilities. In 2019, the Legislature approved $217 million of bonding authority for conservation purposes, including for the acquisition of land for new state parks. A) Do you support or oppose state investment in conservation? B) Has Nevada’s investment in land conservation been too little, too much, or about right, and how would you change it?
I would have to look more into this.
Would you support addressing public health disparities in Nevada’s diverse Spanish speaking population by funding a “Promotores de Salud” program through the Nevada Office of New Americans that provides year round, culturally competent education and community engagement in Spanish on public health issues?
Yes I would support funding for this program.
What are you doing to center communities of color and low-income communities in your work, and how do you ensure that equity is part of every decision you make?
I would take into consideration that the low income community and go accordingly to see how I could make it better.
The APIA community faces the largest unmet financial needs when it comes to higher education. Nevada has the highest student loan default rate in the country. In Nevada, there are 333,100 student loan borrowers, $11.5 Billion in student loan debt, and $34,700 in average debt per borrower. What policies can we implement to ensure students and families are protected from predatory lenders and undue financial burdens?
I do believe that a lot of younger kids got caught up in the student loan payment not completely realizing just how detrimental it can be, I think a lot of robot for revisemeant would be done for this.
Latinx communities are extremely concerned about the drought and ongoing water shortages. What would you do to ensure our families have a sustainable water supply, not just now but also future generations?
This would be a more complex situation I think this will take a little bit more time to work with the team and formulate a plan
One out of seven people in Clark County are food insecure. What policies would you propose to ensure people are not residing in food deserts and have access to healthy food and water sources?
There are resources that can help with healthy food and water, however I think the amount of people outweigh the help, I think things need to be reassessed on how many people need help and how many resources we have.
