2022 Questionnaire
Please share briefly what inspired you to run for this office and why you feel you’re qualified for the position.
My inspiration to run for mayor is my love for my hometown and my desire to make certain it remains a great place to raise a family and pursue the American dream.
What will you be doing to help those affected by homelessness and other resources?
My inspiration to run for mayor is my love for my hometown and my desire to make certain it remains a great place to raise a family and pursue the American dream.
Nevada has historically protected the right to abortion, including protecting the right in statute 30 years ago by a vote of the people. However, there remain barriers to access in the state. Do you support not only the right to abortion but policies that improve equitable access to abortion care?
I believe that this is a very sensitive subject for many people. That being said, and because our town does not have an abortion clinic, I will decline to make my personal opinion known.
Comprehensive, age and developmentally appropriate, medically-accurate, inclusive sex education has been proven to improve students’ long-term health outcomes, yet it is not required that students be provided with this information in their sex-ed programs. Do you believe that public school sex-ed programs should be comprehensive, medically accurate, and inclusive?
This subject is irrelevant to the office that I seek.
It is well documented that patients of color face greater obstacles to obtaining sexual and reproductive health care than non-Hispanic white Americans – a pattern that results in worse health outcomes overall for BIPOC patients. Do you not only acknowledge systemic racism’s role in public health disparities but will you pursue policies that seek to rectify the historical harm of systemic racism and advance equitable access to health care?
This subject is irrelevant to the office I seek. That being said, I believe that equal rights means equal rights to ALL.
Do you support the implementation of a Human Rights Commission to address, study and meditate possible and actual discrimination in your jurisdiction?
I believe that any and all discrimination should be dealt with appropriately.
What is your vision for community safety?
The public must be able to work hand in hand with law enforcement agencies and local government officials to address any community safety issues that may arise. I will help to facilitate this in any way that I can.
