Why “You” Matter

As constituents of Senate District 4, we are so diverse and unique- we are 127,000 strong. I fight every day to be a Voice for you that is independent- and speaks out, even if I am standing alone.

We believe in building communities- from neighborhood clean ups; to a Girl Scout selling her cookies in front of Hidden Canyon; to the children playing in Alexander Park off of Gowan and Walnut and the beautiful community garden on Bradley Street. We have managed to rebound from the COVID-19, but we still have more work to do, to create prosperity for our District.

You have allowed me to represent your perspectives and be your voice in the Nevada Legislature. You have called me on the telephone and expressed what bills you want and what you need.

We need each other. You are a powerful voice. We need to still make changes and invest in paid leave programs for workers, healthcare, stabilize education, living wages, and build stronger small businesses.

I have been your Legislative Advocate since 2010. You trusted me to represent your interests for 11 years in the Assembly, and then you trusted my leadership for the State Senate in 2020. I have been a consistent and pragmatic leader.

Let’s continue our fight so that Nevadans can have the prosperity that has been promised to them.

Economic Development

I am constantly promoting laws that create common sense economic solutions: Nevada-based exports, product development, support for our small businesses and industrial development to build revenue statewide. One of the programs that reflect this is the Nevada Grow program that I got successfully passed in 2015. The program went from a legislative pilot to a permanent program that provides data, and analysis to businesses- through collaboration. We have served 1138 businesses so far, with an impact of $16,067,386 dollars. We created 479 jobs over 9 years. We took a $ 450,000 dollar allocation from the state and made real capital gains for businesses.

Education

Our children are giving up, and we need to do something about it. I am focused on making sure our children graduate and have a quality educational experience. I am already on the front line of projects to stem the tide of our children leaving schools and I want you on the front line with me. As a single mother of two children, I reared my children while I earned my law degree, and had it not been for great teachers, sharing the role of educating my kids, my job would have been a lot tougher. So I understand education and my role as a public servant, which is to directly serve our children.

Discrimination/Employment Protection

I was able to pass SB 327 in 2021 to make Nevada the 11th state to pass the CROWN ACT, which prevents hair discrimination in school and the workplace.

I will continue to work in the legislature to add protections for workers against discrimination and increasing rights under whistleblower laws.

Workforce Initiatives

I am campaigning to serve the people of Senate District 4, because the economic challenges facing the state of Nevada have affected the 7th Assembly District severely and Assembly District 6.

My background as a Professor in Business Law and participation in local economic boards, have provided me the knowledge and background I need to effectively develop solutions for this State. I have developed Project 354 so it can target workforce issues facing Senate District 4.
