I was born and raised in Las Vegas. I grew up in a working-class family. From a young age, I learned the value of hard work and serving your neighbor from my mother and father. At the age of 15, I started volunteering with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Explorer program where I developed a passion for helping others. I joined LVMPD full-time in 1994 and quickly rose through the ranks and committed myself to protecting our communities and enforcing and implementing our laws. Since retiring from the force in 2021, I have been a leader to the community that has given me so much. I understand that our state needs dedicated and proven leaders if we are going to make Nevada the comeback state. If elected, I am committed to keeping our communities safe; promoting school choice for students and parents; strengthening our economy through economic diversity and fighting against job-killing legislation; and protecting our individual freedoms.
- Public safety is essential to having a prosperous economy and important to maintaining a high quality of life. Having risen through the ranks from an LVMPD explorer to Police Sergeant, I understand that crime is a massive contributor to poverty, inequality, and disregard of human rights. As your representative, I will support proposals that give our men and women who protect our fellow Nevadans the tools and resources to keep themselves and our communities safe. Additionally, I support policies that strengthen laws against violent criminals and those who target children and our vulnerable populations.
- Every child deserves access to the best education system possible, which sets the foundation of the learning journey. Our current education system ranks at the bottom of almost every metric and does nothing to prepare our children for the real world. The Clark County School District has grown too large, and the school system has been overwhelmed by recent changes. Additionally, we need to provide more school choice opportunities for parents and students who are trapped in failing schools. Your zip code should not determine your access to a quality education.
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we saw an economic crisis that left many Nevadans unemployed and caused businesses to permanently close. I strongly believe we need to focus on policies that create an economic environment that fosters job growth, increases wages and innovation to get us back on track. We can achieve our economic comeback without unnecessary government mandates, increased taxes, and overregulation. As your representative, I will be a careful steward of our hard earned - tax dollars and fight for policies that hinder excessive and wasteful spending.
Having been born and raised in Las Vegas, I have dedicated my life to protecting our communities as a member of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. I believe that every individual has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. However, during the pandemic we saw the majority party infringe on our constitutional rights through blanket mandates that closed our schools and businesses. I support reforms that limit the governor’s emergency powers and places them with the people’s house. As your representative, I will always fight to ensure that our individual liberties are not infringed.
I have the ability to look at all sides of an issue. This allows me to better anticipate unintended consequences. Having been an end user of state law I understand the importance of making sure that there is no ambiguity as it relates to legislative intent.
The core responsibility of an assemblyperson is to represent the people of their district. You are elected to represent their interests, not your own. To do that you need to be a part of your community, talk to your constituents and listed to their concerns.
The first truly historical event that I remember is the shooting of President Ronald Reagan. I was 6 years old.
I was a busboy while in high school for approximately 1 year.
K-12 public education. Our students need better, our students deserve better, and we must demand better. For far too long we have neglected our children’s education, and that is unacceptable. Our children are unprepared for the real world upon graduation, and this must change. By better preparing our students for the workforce we will increase the availability of educated workers in the state, and thereby bring in more businesses and industries to the State of Nevada. With more employment opportunities available we reduce the likelihood our children will end-up in the criminal justice system, and therefore help to reduce crime.
Relationships are beneficial at all levels of government. Our entire political system has grown much too adversarial. Just because you disagree with someone does not mean you can't have a civil conversation with them.
Yes. While I support the ability of the Governor to declare a state of emergency, it MUST be reviewed and authorized by the legislature within a reasonable period of time. I would propose changing current state law to require legislative review and approval of any state of emergency declaration within 14 calendar days. If this does not occur, the state of emergency would automatically end and the could not be reinstituted.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
