A brief statement about your platform
My top issues are supporting Nevada families by lowering costs, strengthening our schools to make sure every student has the same opportunity to succeed, and building an economy that works for everyone.
We’ll get the job done by investing in housing affordability, lowering the cost of health care and high-quality child care, and keeping Nevada a low tax state. Wages are up, but we can do more to ensure every worker’s paycheck in our state matches the cost of living.
In my first term, I promised to be the Education Governor and donate my entire state salary back to our public schools. In a second term, I want to build on our progress by giving our teachers another raise and addressing our teacher shortage by updating our salary standards. We’re also going to revolutionize our workforce by making community college and other apprenticeship programs free for more Nevadans by 2025, and we’ll make it easier than ever to start a business by cutting bureaucratic red tape.
Through these steps, we’ll improve quality of life for Nevadans, support our families, and make sure Nevada remains an inclusive and forward-thinking state for years to come.
What makes you the most qualified candidate for this position?
Serving as Nevada’s governor for the last three years has been the honor of my lifetime.
As governor, you have to make tough choices, work across the aisle to find compromise, and always stand up for what you believe is right. There have been many difficult decisions over the last three years, and not everyone has agreed with every decision I’ve made, but I did my best every day to protect Nevadans’ lives and livelihoods during a once in a century health crisis.
Even despite the pandemic, we made significant progress to grow our economy, improve high speed internet, support our schools, expand affordable health care, and fund our roads and bridges. I know we have more work to do to support our families, and I’m committed to getting the job done in a second term.
Nevada exemplifies the best of our nation. It’s more than just a tourist location or the sports capital of the world, it’s a community where people look out for one another, where you can start a small business and thrive, and it’s the best place in the nation to call home.
Nevada is where I built my own small business, raised my two daughters as a single father, and where I married my wife Kathy. I love this state and our people, and I’m running to make their lives better.
