Issues
Cap the Rent
Cap rent increases at 3% per year so the rent never rises by more than this.
Lower Costs
Invest in universal, free childcare for kids under 5 years old. Lower the cost of prescription drugs. Ban price gouging.
Raise the Wage
Raise the minimum wage to a living wage and index it to inflation. We shouldn’t have to beg our politicians for a wage increase every ten years; let’s make it automatic.

Education
Public money belongs in public schools. Nevada has one of the worst school systems in the nation and it’s because we don’t invest in it. I would fully fund our school system, and make the rich pay for it.
Corporate Greed
Wall Street has taken an interest in rental properties, buying over 30% of homes for sale in Las Vegas in 2022 and 44% of rental homes for sale in the US in 2023. I believe that housing is for people to live – we must ban the public trading of housing on wall street.
When CEO pay has surpassed worker pay by over 400% and large corporations are spending their profits buying their own stocks, rather than fairly compensating their employees, it’s time we start demanding they pay their fair share, pay every employee a fair wage, limit the pay gap between employee and CEO, and protect the right to organize.
Housing for All
Nevada has one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, and is number one on the list of states most likely to be taken over by private equity.
We must ban corporate ownership of private homes, build affordable housing that is meant to be lived in, and protect renters from excessive fines and fees and landlords who refuse to maintain their units.
