2022 Questionnaire
Please share briefly what inspired you to run for this office and why you feel you’re qualified for the position.
I am running because we need someone who is not a politician. I am running to counter the attacks on public education and CRT. I decided to run after January 6, 2021 when the capital was stormed and they tried to hang our vice-president. Some now call those people patriots and deny they were there to overthrow an election.
What policies would you propose for dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our state’s economy?
We need to pass legislation against these weapons and make the consequences for selling or possessing these guns very severe to include prison time and fines.
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?
The policies that have been imposed were effective to limit the spread of the disease and to keep the economy afloat While we were in lockdown.
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?
Mining companies should no longer be exempt from paying taxes at the same rate as other corporations. We need to raise revenues without hurting the industry or making it unprofitable..
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. As long as abortion is legal, there needs to be access for those seeking these services.
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?
Absolutely
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 believe health care is a human right and should be free and accessible to every American
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. It should be abolished.
Nevada has a significant undocumented population, how will you ensure your office is accessible to all Nevadans?
We need to find a way to support these nations with basic human needs. I will support legislation that increases funding for these human rights in the tribal nations.
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?
Yes
Describe your understanding of the Confidential Address Program. What would be your approach to inform community members of this program?
Yes
