    HOW LONG YOU HAVE LIVED IN NEVADA: 6 years

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

    I am a small businessman, veteran, author, and father who has spent my life in service to others. From the Reno-based small business I founded helping veterans access critical medications when the VA fell short to leading troops in battle in Afghanistan, I’ve consistently delivered results under pressure. I am committed to bringing that same focus and determination to the U.S. Senate to solve the issues facing Nevadans.

    WHAT IS YOUR TOP PRIORITY IF ELECTED?

    Lowering costs for Nevadans and make housing affordable again. I understand the struggles Nevadans face because my family is going through them too—we couldn’t afford to buy our home today given the current market. While prices have skyrocketed, and Jacky Rosen's net worth has increased, hardworking Nevadans have seen our savings vanish. Jacky Rosen is disconnected from these realities, supporting policies that fuel inflation and make life unaffordable. I’ll work to lower prices on essentials like gas, groceries, and medications; end taxes on Social Security benefits and tips; secure our borders; and implement solutions that directly tackle housing costs, such as expanding access to affordable housing and reducing regulations that drive prices up. My commitment is to provide real, practical solutions that lower costs and ensure every Nevadan can achieve the American Dream of homeownership and financial security.

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

    The biggest problem facing our country is the Biden/Rosen economy, which has stripped Nevadans of hope and the American Dream. I understand what it's like to feel hopeless; I was at my lowest point in the Afghanistan desert, burning alive after an IED attack. It was my gunner’s words—“I’ve got you”—that brought hope back, but it was his actions in putting out the flames that saved my life. That’s how I’ll fight for Nevadans, not just with words but with real action. I know the struggles because I’m going through them too, alongside every Nevadan, in this economy created by Joe Biden and Jacky Rosen. I’ll work to lower costs, make housing affordable, and restore the American Dream so families can thrive again.

    CONSUMER PRICES AND HOUSING COSTS HAVE SHOT UP SINCE THE PANDEMIC—WHAT’S YOUR PLAN TO HELP NEVADANS WHO ARE STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY?

    Consumer prices and housing costs have skyrocketed under Jacky Rosen’s watch, and Nevadans are feeling the impact. My plan focuses on three key areas: making housing more affordable, lowering prices on essentials, and eliminating unfair taxes.

    First, to make housing more affordable, I’ll work to release federal lands back to Nevada on a regular and reliable timetable, which will allow for more development and increase the housing supply. I’ll also cut regulations that slow down projects and secure America’s energy future to lower building material costs, making it easier and cheaper for Nevadans to buy homes and afford rent—something Jacky Rosen has failed to prioritize despite historic highs in housing prices.

    Second, I will fight to reduce prices on essentials like gas, groceries, and medications by stopping the reckless spending that has caused inflation and by ensuring energy policies that stabilize costs. I’ll also work to extend and protect the Trump tax cuts so manufacturers, shippers, and service providers aren’t hit with higher costs, which would drive up prices for Nevadans even more. By tackling inflation and promoting energy independence, I’ll bring immediate relief to families struggling to make ends meet.

    Lastly, I will eliminate taxes on tips and Social Security benefits, allowing Nevadans to keep more of their hard-earned money. Service workers, who make up a significant portion of our workforce, deserve to keep their income without unfair taxation, and seniors should not be taxed again on benefits they’ve already paid into. My plan will save Nevada families millions and provide relief where it’s needed most.

    Jacky Rosen has had nearly eight years to solve these issues and has only made them worse. Visit LowerPricesNV.comfor my full plan and details.

    IF THE LEGAL RIGHT TO ABORTION WERE TO COME UP FOR A VOTE IN CONGRESS, WOULD YOU VOTE FOR IT? WHY OR WHY NOT?

    I have pledged that I will not support an abortion ban. I firmly believe that this issue should be decided by the people at the state level, as it was when Nevada voters chose to enshrine legal protections for abortion over three decades ago. I stand by their decision and respect the choice of Nevadans. My focus is on lowering the temperature around this conversation, supporting women, and ensuring they know they have options and resources available to them. Women must feel supported, loved, and empowered—not caught in political crossfire. I’m committed to keeping this issue at the state level, where Nevadans have made their voices heard.

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

    I’m a political outsider fighting for every Nevadan and committed to taking real action to lower costs, make housing affordable, and fight to save the American Dream—because I get things done, not just talk about it.
