2022 Questionnaire
Please share briefly what inspired you to run for this office and why you feel you’re qualified for the position.
I have run for public office several times, including a bid for Governor of State of California in 2003, during the Recall of Gray Davis. There are many issues facing the world today, which require fresh insights and a carefully developed analysis which is sadly lacking in our current pay to play political landscape. I also have a B.S. in Engineering Physics from U.C Berkeley, and have taught in California's public schools, in addition to other career adventures such as work that I did n software development and in broadcasting.
What policies would you propose for dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our state’s economy?
Parents should be held responsible for the actions of their children. Making a "ghost gun", isn't as easy as it sounds, especially if one needs access to milling, drilling and welding equipment, for example. Obviously, there are important skills that many should aspire to learn. Perhaps private gunsmithing should require a license, and be regulated like Ham Radio.
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?
Stimulus payments were on the right track. Direct assistance that "trickles up" and not "down" has far less potential for fraud and abuse.
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?
People how work in the "mines" should be allowed to unionize, and should receive equity in the companies that they work for, but that is just the beginning.
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?
Yes.
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?
Yes.
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?
As it turns out, I have Native American ancestry myself, so this is a very important subject to me. This is something that I will address further on my website as time permits.
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?
I believe that we need to keep the death penalty as a deterrent, even if it is rarely carried out, especially for serious cases like the Boston Marathon bombing, for example.
Nevada has a significant undocumented population, how will you ensure your office is accessible to all Nevadans?
As it turns out, I have Native American ancestry myself, so this is a very important subject to me. This is something that I will address further on my website as time permits.
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?
Eventually something like that might become integrated with a "guaranteed annual income" program, for people who are able to become productive workers in this country.
Describe your understanding of the Confidential Address Program. What would be your approach to inform community members of this program?
Eventually something like that might become integrated with a "guaranteed annual income" program, for people who are able to become productive workers in this country.
