Priority Issues:
As a Libertarian, Art is fiscally responsible and socially tolerant. He strongly supports the Bill of Rights -- especially the Second Amendment (right to bear arms) and Tenth Amendment (state's rights). His top three priorities are to get Nevada back to work, to improve our education system, and to reign-in the federal government. He also seeks to reduce the size of government, to hold government fiscally accountable, to responsibly develop Yucca Mountain using thorium technology, and to encourage the voice of the people to be heard in determining the future of Nevada. His website provides greater detail on the initiatives mentioned above. We DO have another choice this election ... so remember to vote smART!
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
Art is a regular citizen who decided to run for office when none of the candidates inspired him. He, like most of us, was fed up with the "two-party system" and he wanted a credible alternative. This is his first foray into politics -- he is not a career politician, and he is not beholden to any business or special interest groups.
