WRITE A BRIEF (TWO TO THREE SENTENCES) SUMMARY OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE THAT WOULD ENABLE YOU TO PERFORM THE DUTIES OF THIS OFFICE:

I have been an Unpaid Citizen lobbyist in Nevada since 1987. I do my own research and testify on bills on all issues. While in college, I took all the law classes available. Also, I have been a member of the American Legion Auxiliary for 52 years. I was Unit President 10 times, which taught me Roberts Rules of Order and how to run a meeting, as well as holding many different chairmanships.

WHAT IS YOUR TOP PRIORITY IF ELECTED?

To follow the Constitution in relating to all issues that come before Congress. I am concerned about the H1-B problem. 25% of unemployed are college graduates. H1-B people coming to America and taking jobs from Americans - that are doing the jobs now!

IN JUST A FEW SENTENCES: WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FACING OUR COUNTRY, AND HOW WOULD YOU FIX IT?

I believe that most of America's problems are inter-related. The economy, jobs, health costs, home affordability are all related to illegal immigration, which needs to be addressed in our Congress. I'm for legal immigration that helps our country, but too much of our taxes are not being spent on our American Citizens.

CONSUMER PRICES, GAS PRICES, AND HOUSING COSTS ARE HISTORICALLY HIGH, WHILE WAGES HAVE NOT KEPT PACE IN NEVADA. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO HELP NEVADANS WHO ARE STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY?

Simple answer would be to stop raising taxes on our families so they can afford to take care of themselves. Bring in more jobs for our families and not give H1-B the jobs that Americans have been doing!

WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF AI, AND THE PROLIFERATION OF DATA CENTERS? WHAT ROLE DO YOU SEE NEVADA TAKING IN EACH?

Not in favor of AI data centers. We have data centers that have been here for a while and those are not the same as AI data centers. We need to have regulation of AI centers, and not have "self" regulations by the companies that run AI data centers.

IN ONE SENTENCE: WHAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING VOTERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU?

I love Nevada and have worked on making Nevada a better place to live, for all of us.

YES OR NO: WILL YOU ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THIS ELECTION, WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE? 

Yes
