Issues Affecting AD 40
"I'm running because it's getting harder to afford to live in the community we love. The Legislature should be making that easier, by controlling costs, holding government accountable, and protecting what makes Northern Nevada worth fighting for. That's the standard I'll use for every vote."
Affordability
Nevada families are feeling the squeeze of record-high inflation and rising costs every single day.
Rich’s Plan:
-
Fight unnecessary taxes and regulations that drive up the cost of living
-
Support policies that expand housing supply and reduce barriers to ownership
-
Protect working families from rising energy and utility costs
-
Demand responsible, transparent state budgeting with real accountability for results
​
Smaller, More Accountable Government
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but excessive red tape is holding them back from growing.
Rich’s Plan:
-
Eliminate waste and redundancy in state programs
-
Demand performance accountability for every tax dollar spent
-
Build a state government efficient enough to serve Nevadans without overburdening them
-
Safety nets for those who need them, framed by guardrails with checks and balances

Every Nevada family deserves to feel safe in their own neighborhood and home.

Bring real expertise to Nevada's wildland fire challenge, from land management to homeowner insurance
-
Advocate for fire-wise communities and protect Northern Nevada's watersheds
-
Ensure rural fire and EMS infrastructure across AD 40 is properly funded and staffed

Funding resources for teachers, with accountability measurements
