Need a timeline cleanse? Here's good government in action:. A constituent (substitute teacher) filed for unemployment but hadn't received benefits. - Contacts me.- We flagged his claim w/ agency.- DETR called him in 24 hrs.- Issue identified, fixed, has been paid!. Thanks DETR!.

Here's a wild idea - what if we focused on EXPANDING access to care instead of copying the DC politicians who just gutted health care funding and kicked 100,000 Nevadans off their coverage over the coming years.

🔚 That’s a wrap! . Every one of these wins came from me listening — to neighbors, small business owners, and community advocates. Thank YOU!. Some of my bills didn't make it & there's always more to do, but I'm committed to keep working to build a better Nevada for us all.
