Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018

Democracy is the root of American society. We make better decisions when everybody's voice is heard. While we've made great strides even since the country's founding, we still have room to improve. People should pick their representatives, not the other way around. We need limits on the influence of big donors and more transparency in campaign finance and government activity. Nevada's election system is among the best in the country, with major advances in the last legislative session. Howard wants us to be number one by making voting as accessible and efficient as possible while preserving the system's integrity. He supports these measures to strengthen our democracy:
* Create an independent redistricting commission of experts to draw our political boundaries, with input from the public

* Improve the state's public records and campaign finance disclosure laws

* Establish a systems for automatic and same-day voter registration
