Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., speaks during a fundraiser for the Nevada Democratic Party, Sunday, Nov. 17, 2019, in Las Vegas.

Elizabeth Warren is one of the top-polling candidates for the Democratic nomination.

And like those top three candidates, she wants to win Nevada.

She’s marched in the Las Vegas gay pride parade, was heckled at the Reno airport and met with the Culinary Union.

She just held a town hall on the Truckee Meadows Community College campus, where she spoke to KNPR about her platform, including her proposal for a wealth tax, the lack of affordable housing in Nevada's biggest cities, and how she would implement a Medicare For All healthcare plan.
