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 worked in marketing and communications for two decades. The last 10 years I have focused my expertise in health education and communications, working with communities of color. I hope to bring a unique perspective to the legislature and represent voices that have not been heard.
WHAT IS YOUR TOP PRIORITY IF ELECTED?
My top priority is mental health and our youth. We need legislators on both sides of the aisle that have a desire to prioritize mental health in our community. A healthy community is a prosperous community. It is important to have continued access to resources for children and their families.
IN JUST A FEW SENTENCES: WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FACING OUR STATE, AND HOW WOULD YOU FIX IT?
The biggest problem facing our state is the potential for one party to rule. Good legislation happens when both parties are at the table. Independent of what party you belong to, having one party in control would be detrimental to the future of Nevada. With balanced government we can have conversations about housing, access to healthcare and empower the small businesses that fuel our economy.
IN ONE SENTENCE: WHAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING VOTERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU?
My goal is to serve the people of the district, all of the people, independent of their party affiliation.
YES OR NO: WILL YOU ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THIS ELECTION, WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE?
Yes I will accept the results of the election, whether I win or lose.
