Issue Position

We can do more to attract diverse, sustainable industries that can withstand market fluctuations. Nevada can prove to be a lucrative place for businesses. However, I want to ensure that our Nevadans are the first hired. Our state needs to keep up with future trends by creating jobs in renewable energy, science, and technology. In addition to job creation, we need a prepared workforce that is equipped with the required skills to obtain and perform such jobs. In addition to working with the K-12 and Community College system, we also need to provide skilled trade opportunities, and small business loans that are accessible and attainable to our community members. Ultimately, I believe that our economy is the strongest when both our small business owners and unions are supported and thriving. However, regardless of the profession or work, our hard working Nevadans need and deserve to make a living wage.
