Where I Stand

CEOs, not our doctors, get to decide whether we get life-saving care. I believe healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Although more of a federal issue, I support Medicare For All. This system would ensure quality healthcare for all and save us all money, but at the state level we can focus on our attention on building our healthcare infrastructure.

When you need to see a doctor, I want our health system in Nevada to be the best in the country. Doctors, nurses, and support staff play a crucial role in meeting your health needs. We need a knowledgeable, skilled, and empathetic workforce. I believe in supporting these industries with incentives for what you need and NOT care based on profit.

What I’ll Do

• Increase funding for scholarships and medical institutions like UNLV and Nevada State University that will provide for more medical professionals in Nevada.

• Support mandatory nursing to patient ratios for safe and effective nursing

• Continue to expand the public option of healthcare plans in the ACA and Medicaid

• I will support the continued efforts to address social determinants of health in our communities.

• Lobby for universal coverage from the federal government.

Why It Matters

We need universal healthcare, but at the state level we have let our residents down in investing in our healthcare infrastructure that contributes to the costs of care and the lack of access to care we have in Nevada that makes living that much more difficult. Nearly 1 in 4 Nevadans are Medicaid, and the big beautiful bill puts hundreds of thousands at risk of losing their healthcare, so we as representatives need to do everything we can to shield Nevada from these cuts.

Healthcare is not a privilege; it is a necessity for human existence. Any representative who is not willing to step up for you is failing you. In the Nevada State Assembly, I will advocate for universal healthcare and ensure healthcare in this country is a human right. We will not settle for anything less than what we deserve.
