Voters wanted to hear the candidates' positions on a range of issues in Thursday night's debate.

Incumbent Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen and Republican challenger Sam Brown faced off in Nevada's only senatorial debate Thursday evening.

With Rosen and Brown finally facing one another to discuss issues Nevada voters are currently dealing with, one of the most anticipated topics people say they're hoping to hear about is our economy.

"The economy just making sure that Nevada stays pretty high up there with other states to make sure we don't fall behind," said Coy Romo, UNR junior student.

"Different energy and housing costs in the greater Nevada area just because obviously that's the thing that's really affecting a lot of people," said Alex Khorshidi, senior.

Rosen says to help affordable housing she's pushing her bill called the Home Act which prevents corporate investors from buying homes and increasing prices. She says she's also brought in $500 million to the Home Means Nevada Program.

"To help thousands of families get into affordable housing and we've asked for lower interest rates because when it's lower to build and lower to buy, it's lower for everyone," said Rosen.

Brown claimed that high grocery and fuel prices are caused by energy policies backed by Rosen and the current administration and that needs to change.

"Everything moves through energy, our fuel prices, we need to prioritize cheaper, more efficient and reliable energy supplies and that's going to drive down the cost of everything," said Brown.

Other topics involved a new water deal with the western states that share the Colorado River water. Rosen supports investments in more water smart technology and farming while Brown demands California be more responsible with their use of the water.

One thing they have in common is neither of them support the U.S. ultimatum in aiding Gaza over Israel.

But when abortion rights were brought up, some people said they would be listening closely.

"Every ad against Sam Brown is that he's going to 100% ban abortion everywhere, which personally I'd be for that, but I know that he's not going to do that because one that's just not where Nevada is at this point in time so he wouldn't be able to do that because you can't get elected if you're going to do that so I just hope he's going to set that record straight," said Cole Dyson, UNR junior.

During the debate Brown said he does not support voting on any national ban including abortion.

He added, "I also stand by Nevada's law that allows for abortion up to 24 weeks, I stand by and allow that we should allow for women to have exceptions for rape, incest, and threat to the life of the mother."

However, Rosen responded saying it's not true. She claims while she supports restoring Roe V. Wade and ballot question 6, Brown would say no.

"He says his positions are not negotiable for him. He has a decade long record of saying that he's against any exceptions on abortions even in the case of rape or incest. Not negotiable," she said.

Romo says, "I just think that his stances are not really up to par with me personally and I think Jacky Rosen is just a better option personally."

Khorshidi says, "I'm leaning Jacky just because of her previous actions and the way she does things but other than that, I mean Sam brown could have some good thoughts to put forward, so I'll wait to see."

Dyson says, "He's (Brown) more established with his economic views, how he's actually going to improve these kinds of issues like board of security, economic issues in Nevada and whatnot."
