Reason for running: Because I want to be part of the solutions for the challenges that are coming ahead. Comparatively, our state is in pretty decent shape, but there are short- and long-term challenges just beyond the horizon and they need to be addressed now. We need responsiveness that goes beyond party lines and political labels. We need solutions to current issues that don't turn a blind eye on the future, so that our children and their descendants can, decades from now, still experience the Nevada we know and love.
