How would you describe yourself to voters?

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate Governor Sisolak's handling of the pandemic? Why?

The lowest possible rating a 1 if that is the lowest. He is the worst governor Nevada has ever had behind Sandoval. He took away our freedom by closing down businesses and the economy. He practice medicine without a license when he told doctors they couldn't prescribe certain medications for COVID. He was a puppet and did pretty much everything Newsom did from California two weeks later. He lived most of the time in Las Vegas totally separated from his staff. No one can lead a staff that way. Any true leader knows that. He signed voter laws that make fraud much easier and more likely in future elections. Sisolak was an abysmal failure for Nevadans.

As governor, what specific steps will you take to improve education in Nevada?

Institute accountability by only providing funding to school districts that focuses on goals and objective that improve student learning and successful outcomes that get Nevada out of 50th in national rankings. See ElectHeck.com

In many ways, Nevada’s economy has recovered from the pandemic. However, the state has seen some of the fastest growing home and rent prices in the country, more than 10,000 former casino workers are still out of work and inflation threatens to undermine the state’s working families. As governor, what would you do to protect the economic interest of Nevada’s families?

I will focus my efforts to improve economic outcomes for Nevadans by lowering taxes and cutting regulations. I have committed to a 10% budget cut and creation of an Office of Inspector General to root out fraud, waste and abuse. See ElectHeck.com
