Economy & Taxes
Advocates making Nevada more affordable for working families, reducing corporate influence over policy, expanding federal investment in housing and infrastructure, and opposing tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the ultra-wealthy; does not provide a clear, specific tax-policy prescription (e.g., explicit proposals to raise or cut particular taxes) on campaign materials reviewed.
Healthcare
Supports broadening access to affordable, quality care and reducing corporate influence in healthcare; advocates cost-control measures such as simplifying billing, cracking down on fraud and price manipulation, and empowering the government to negotiate prescription drug prices as a core pillar of achieving universal health coverage. Does not explicitly endorse single-payer/Medicare for All on the issues page but frames reforms around government negotiation and systemic fixes before expanding a national system.
