WHY AM I RUNNING
Putting My Experience
to Work

I'm running for U.S. Congress because we have some fundamental problems in our society. I believe that our government plays a role and has a responsibility in addressing these issues. As an elected official, it is my duty to speak up for the people and act in their best interests. My goal will be to address the present issues that are impacting Nevada residents and future challenges our country will face.

COVID-19 will change our world forever in terms of communication with viruses and diseases, cleanliness of public places, Medical facilities being equipped, where we buy our medical resources from, and worker's rights. This campaign is not about who is at fault, it is about growing and becoming better. We do not need to blame China for the lack of information, but for encouraging that the World Health Organization is included in all future viruses and disease outbreaks.

One thing that has truly opened my eyes throughout this pandemic is the lack of worker's rights. Here in Las Vegas and all across the United States people were let go with no notice or little warning. Yes, there were several companies like the Wynn Casino that said that all of their employees will be paid throughout this emergency situation, but you had other companies who just let everyone go. These are not small companies either, these are companies that had record profits in 2019. Their actions caused stress to the everyday person and to the government. Our government stepped up during this time to calm the financial stress on all Americans. Workers are human beings that keep our country running, they should have a strong and equal voice in these businesses.

The following issues are what made me put my name on the ballot during this election cycle. I will do everything in my power to implement term limits on the federal level, a single-payer health care system, and to bring our education system into the 21st century. This will not be easy to get done, but I promise you right now that by the time I get done in Washington DC these goals will be met or we will be a lot closer.

Our Public Education System is the best in the world. We have major issues and they are not going to disappear without major reform. I have been an educator for the past eight years in the classroom, in the schools that need the most help. A teacher shortage is here and it is growing, if we do nothing to address this issue the consequences will be felt for many generations. Times have changed and so does our education system. We have to reevaluate what is our true purpose of the education system and implement change.

These are the reasons why I am getting involved in politics. No matter what happens during this election, I will not stop my fight to address these changes. I am tired of voting for people who say they are going to do something and then they completely do something else when they are in office. I have no special interest group that I am running for, I am simply running to help make the lives of everyday people better.
