Issue Position

Better schools

As the father of two children who went through Washoe County Schools, I have always worked hard to find ways to improve education in our state, whether it was volunteering my time with the school district or supporting legislation to properly fund our schools and to demand more accountability from them.

I believe my opponent failed to represent our kids when she was one of only a handful of members of the Nevada Assembly to vote against funding many of Governor Sandoval's education reforms.

I am committed to building on the progress made for education in the last legislative session. My education priorities will be:
To continue to reduce overcrowding in our schools and classrooms.
To ensure our schools are safe environments for kids to learn.
To recruit and keep the best teachers so we have a highly qualified teacher for every classroom.
To make sure our coursework, including vocational education, is preparing students for today's new jobs.
To support early childhood education to give our youngest students a firm foundation to succeed in school.
To demand greater accountability for school spending.
