I am deeply committed to Clark County, being both a local business owner and a lifelong resident of Las Vegas. As a former student of CCSD and an active parent with a child currently enrolled in the district, my roots run deep.
- Safety is my top priority.
- Zip code should not dictate the level of education a student can receive.
- A good education is one of the fastest ways out of poverty
I am a mix of too many to recommend just one item of media. I like Thomas Sowell, Jordan Peterson, and Larry Elder.
Transparency, accountability, responsibility and a sense of realism.
Integrity, transparency, accountability, common sense, and intellect.
The safety of students, faculty, and staff members and implementing policies that truly benefit everyone in the school system.
Safer schools and better curriculum for the future of our children.
The murder of Tupac. I was 11 or 12.

I would implement the best policies that have the highest probable outcomes of success for everyone.
I will be reaching out to all constituents both online and in person for ideas, solutions which will create an environment of transparency and open communication.
Cut the administrative fat at the top, do a comprehensive audit to see where our money is actually going then reallocate from there.
Staff and student safety comes first as it’s what creates a healthy learning environment so students and staff can actually focus on the tasks at hand.
I would ensure we have good counselors and psychologists that can propel diagnose all students, faculty, and staff so they can get the help that they need.

A blend of computer and paper academics with no behavioral disruptions in class.
I think they handled it horribly. I would keep schools open and eliminate mask mandates. This way those that don’t feel comfortable going to campus can stay home and learn/work remotely, those that feel comfortable enough to go on campus but still feel risky being around a lot of people can wear a mask if they would like to, and those that feel comfortable going to school/ work as normal can do so without penalty or negative judgement.
I will keep open lines of communication online and in person.
Community outreach events
It is the key to ensuring voters trust the system they are voting into.
