Issue Position: Crime

Issue Position

Building our economy, expanding educational opportunities for Nevada's children, and growing Nevada's small businesses will mean nothing if we do not have safe communities. As a prosecutor, I work with victims of crime and their families every day to make sure those who harmed them are vigorously prosecuted under the law. As a legislator, I will continue to ensure our neighborhoods remain safe for our families to live.

I have also seen firsthand the way crime is constantly changing and evolving. Sophisticated identity theft crimes have increased exponentially in recent years, but our state laws are still lagging behind in how to deal with them. The criminals are getting smarter and so must our state laws. I will lead the fight to update our criminal statutes so that prosecutors have the necessary tools to tackle modern criminal threats.
