"

Jobs and the Economy

Nevada'south economy has fabricated great strides in recent years, and I believe nosotros accept the potential to enter a new flow of enormous prosperity and opportunity — if we have an constructive, forward-looking approach to developing our economy. As Governor, I'll promote policies that take advantage of Nevada'due south many natural economical strengths, remove barriers to chore creation and concern expansion, and empower our educational activity system to equip our futurity workers with the skills they need to succeed. That means eliminating unnecessary regulations and licensing requirements that only serve to stifle private-sector task growth and keep individuals out of the workforce. It ways creating an surround that allows Nevada to get the well-nigh economically competitive country in the American West. In addition, our community colleges and Career and Technical schools need more flexibility to develop programs that are tailored specifically to the workforce needs of their local communities. By building an economic climate where businesses can innovate and abound, and where individuals tin acquire the tools they demand to go ahead, we can reach the goal of providing each of our citizens with access to a better life.

Education

I believe that education is the civil rights issue of this fourth dimension. Also many kids are never given a take chances to succeed because they're stuck in schools that are declining them. Equally your Governor, ensuring that every Nevada child has admission to a quality education will be a top priority of mine. While some important steps have been taken in contempo years, nosotros owe it to our children and grandchildren to do much more to improve our pedagogy system. It'southward important to realize that every child is unique, with his or her own particular educational needs and challenges, and our goal must be to make sure that every student graduates high school with the tools needed to succeed at the next level — whether that means attending college, pursuing career-focused training, or finding a quality job. My vision for didactics includes four main components: 1) strengthening our public educational activity organization past making sure it is properly funded, and by expanding upon some of the promising reforms implemented in contempo years — particularly those geared toward improving early-historic period literacy; 2) empowering parents by supporting school choice — including better access to Charter Schools and Career and Technical Education, Opportunity Scholarships and Education Savings Accounts; 3) developing our in-state teacher talent by providing incentives, including scholarships, for those who wish to pursue careers in education to teach correct here in Nevada; and 4) demanding more accountability for each and every dollar spent on our education arrangement.

Taxes and the Budget

Nevada's regime should be funded well enough to provide quality, essential services, but should refrain from condign too big, too plush, or likewise burdensome. Responsible budgeting is crucial to making certain that our government is providing necessary services to our citizens, such as quality education and infrastructure, but is not interfering with the individual economy in a way that stifles job growth, business innovation or individual aspiration. That means setting clear budget priorities, and identifying and eliminating wasteful spending wherever information technology exists. I've shown a delivery to fiscal responsibility equally Attorney General — my office has returned about $thirty million to taxpayers since my inauguration, even while increasing services — and I'll do the aforementioned as Governor. It is critical that we maintain a depression-tax climate and then that our businesses can thrive and our families can prosper. As Governor, I will oppose all efforts to increase Nevadans' revenue enhancement brunt, and will as well look for means we tin reduce taxes — starting with the Commerce Tax passed in 2015, which I opposed at the time and volition seek to repeal. By making sure our authorities lives within its means, and our tax burden remains low, we can keep our state on the route to greater prosperity, and provide greater opportunities to Nevada'south families.


Public Safe

Ane of the things I'm most proud of during my fourth dimension as Attorney General is the tremendous success my function has had in promoting the safety of Nevada's communities. We have taken important and effective steps to increment penalties for criminals, to secure justice for their victims, and to protect the nearly vulnerable of our citizens.

Every bit your Governor, I volition continue to promote policies that keep Nevadans safe from dangerous criminals, including drug traffickers and sex offenders, as well equally those who commit financial fraud and those who abuse the elderly. I will also continue to stand up firmly with our local law-enforcement agencies against attempts to make Nevada a sanctuary land, or to turn whatsoever of our municipalities into sanctuary cities. Edifice a stronger and more than prosperous Nevada depends first and foremost on the safety of our communities, and you can depend on me to bring the same commitment I've shown in this area every bit your Attorney Full general to the Governor'south part.

Gun Rights

I am a proud and firm supporter of the Second Amendment, and I take item pride in the work my office has done, during my time equally Nevada's Attorney General, to stand up for the correct of citizens to bear arms. I believe, every bit America's founders did, that this right is essential to maintaining a costless society, and I will defend it vigorously as your Governor.

Alarmingly, we have seen many attempts in recent years — both by far-left legislators here in Nevada and past out-of-state, anti-gun zealots — to infringe upon our Second Amendment rights. Nevadans should know that as Governor, I will oppose any such attempts in the hereafter, and will continue to treat the correct of gratis citizens to comport artillery equally sacred and not-negotiable.

Land Utilise and H2o

One of the existent challenges Nevada continues to face is the express access we accept to many of our natural resource. There are many reasons for this, including the overreach of diverse government agencies, but much of the problem stems from the fact that the federal government still maintains outsized control over our lands. This chokes off opportunities for economic growth and development, particularly in our state's rural communities.

My approach every bit Governor will include creating a new commission that will focus on identifying ways to empower our local communities with better access to our lands and natural resources. I'll likewise piece of work with the federal government to ease restrictions on land utilise and access, and to push for the transfer of ownership of more than of the lands inside our borders — particularly in cases where our local governments can demonstrate clear benefits that the transfers would produce. More local control will lead to greater economical opportunity and prosperity, more than responsible use of our resources — including our h2o — and an environs in which our ranching, mining, agricultural and recreational communities tin can thrive.

Energy and the Surround

I believe we can meet Nevada'south energy needs, while protecting our natural surround, by taking a sensible, counterbalanced arroyo to public policy. As well often, the heavy paw of government is used to endeavor to strength detail energy solutions on the entire population. This leads to public policy that is driven by political considerations, rather than the actual needs of our citizens and the realities of our energy markets.

My approach as Governor will be to support more pick and contest in our energy sectors, empowering individual consumers with the ability to address their energy needs equally they run across fit. I will likewise oppose efforts to impose or expand costly and burdensome mandates on energy providers, which only lead to college prices that hurt Nevada's families, and have a particularly damaging impact on those with lower incomes. At the same time, I will remain firmly committed to keeping in place those regulations that are truly needed to ensure the health and safe of our environment. I believe Nevada has an extremely brilliant free energy future, and common-sense policies will assistance get u.s.a. there.

Veterans

Our men and women in the armed services put their lives at risk every mean solar day to defend our freedoms. We must stand with them and their families while they are abroad and when they render dwelling. Tremendous piece of work has been done on behalf of Nevada's service members, veterans and their families in contempo years. Governor Brian Sandoval made it a priority in his assistants to make our land the nearly veteran-friendly in the state and he has the results to show for it. I await frontward to building on his success.

As a veteran myself, I understand how crucial it is that our veterans receive the support they deserve. As Governor, I will continue to build on our recent successes and toward the goal of making Nevada the about veteran-empowering state in the nation. [41]

"

Didactics
Improving Nevada'south education system is Steve's superlative priority as governor. Having served for a decade on the Nevada Board of Regents, education is one of Steve's passions. He believes every child in Nevada deserves the opportunity to succeed — and that starts with strong public schools. Steve supports investing in our schools so they have the resources needed to provide a safety and effective learning environment for all of our kids.

To strengthen our schools, and exist an abet for students and educators, Steve volition:

Bring together educators, school board members, parents, and elected officials from southern, northern, and rural Nevada to modernize the 50-year-quondam funding formula so that it addresses the needs of students, educators, and parents. Enhance educator salaries so we tin can concenter and retain the best and the brightest to teach our children. Reduce classroom sizes so that every educatee gets the attention he or she needs to succeed. Fight against the diversion of funding from public schools into individual schools. Support more professional technical training programs so that students have the opportunity to come out of high school career-ready. Piece of work to reduce the amount of debt students carry after higher. Create safe, effective learning environments where all students feel welcome — by enacting common-sense gun safety reforms to prevent the horrific mass shootings we've seen too oft. Back up veterans and armed services families from the basis up — including early childcare, Thou-12 programs, STEM initiatives, and high schoolhouse apprenticeships.

Health Care
Steve believes all Nevadans deserve quality, affordable health care, and that nobody should ever exist denied coverage or charged more for being sick, elderly, or a woman. As governor, Steve will protect Nevadans' admission to care and stand up to any attempts to curl dorsum coverage for our families.

To brand access to affordable wellness care a reality for more Nevadans, Steve volition:

Support Nevada's health intendance substitution and work to ensure all communities across our state take access to meliorate intendance and coverage. Fight whatever attempts to curlicue back Medicaid expansion, which has already helped cover more than 200,000 Nevadans. Stand up to the Trump Assistants's efforts to contrary pre-existing conditions protections, which threaten the care and coverage of 1.2 million Nevadans (including nearly 159,000 children and more than 269,000 seniors). Invest in mental health services and addiction handling programs so that all Nevadans tin can become the comprehensive care they need. Defend health clinics that provide critical services for women — and ensure a adult female's health choices are decisions fabricated past her and her doctor, never partisan politicians. Combat the homelessness and suicide epidemic among veterans by supporting VA mental health resources and ensuring access to affordable care for war machine families.

Economy
A bright future for our state requires a strong, diverse economy. For decades, our economic system has depended on tourism, but we can't solely rely on good economical times in other states to drive Nevada's economy. As governor, Steve volition work to diversify our economy around the state. He'll build on his tape of bringing people together to evangelize task-creating projects like the new stadium and convention center to southern Nevada. And as a one-time small business owner, he'll back up Nevada's homegrown businesses.

To create new, good-paying jobs for Nevadans, Steve will:

Attract new, diverse industries to Nevada, such as make clean energy, technology, manufacturing, and medical research. Support Nevada'south small businesses with incentives and grants so it's not just the big companies that benefit from our help. Promote partnerships between professional person technical grooming programs and employers, to ensure Nevadans have the skills they demand to find jobs with skillful pay and benefits. Protect Nevada's natural beauty. Not only does chipping away at our public lands — such as Gold Butte and Smashing Basin — damage our environment and communities, it hurts the state'south outdoor tourism economy. Help veterans proceeds a foothold in the Nevada economy by combatting predatory lending, advancing laws that protect entrepreneurial veterans, and supporting vocational training and financial educational activity programs.
