Immigration & Border
Cannizzaro has emphasized fighting federal overreach and supporting safeguards that keep immigration enforcement officers off school grounds. Her public messaging frames immigration enforcement as something to be constrained in certain settings while pairing that with broader public-safety and law-enforcement priorities.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Cannizzaro supports protecting abortion rights, birth control, and IVF, and says she would use every tool available to defend reproductive rights against federal or out-of-state attacks. She has also led efforts to permanently protect abortion rights in Nevada and to shield patients and providers from prosecution for legal reproductive care.
Climate & Energy
Cannizzaro’s campaign says she will protect Nevada’s clean energy economy, take on corporate polluters, and protect Nevadans from climate-related harms like extreme heat and fires. Her legislative record also shows strong support for conservation and clean energy measures, including votes on solar protections and clean energy investment bills.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports universal background checks, bans on ghost guns and bump stocks, and keeping guns away from violent criminals and domestic abusers. Also backs extreme risk protection orders, background checks for gun sales, and measures to prevent armed intimidation and gun possession by hate crime offenders.
