Governor

Says that as attorney general he "protected reproductive freedom in court."

Supports Nevada's current framework protecting abortion access through 24 weeks, plus later care when medically necessary.

Describes himself as "pro-life" and said he would respect the 1990 voter-approved law allowing abortion up to 24 weeks; in 2023 signed SB 131, which bars state agencies from helping out-of-state prosecutions of abortion patients and protects Nevada providers from discipline.

Promised free school lunches for all Nevada students; as attorney general sued the Trump administration over efforts to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education.

Says special education, English learner support, staffing and transportation should be funded at real cost; opposes mandatory third-grade retention as the main reading fix and favors early screening, reading specialists and tutoring.

Supports expanded school choice, including more charter school seats, and stricter accountability for low-performing schools; says accountability is "always the key."

Says he would oppose tariffs that raise housing costs, crack down on Wall Street firms buying Nevada homes, and work with cities to ease permitting and build on vacant land.

Supports more attainable housing, closer scrutiny of corporate ownership and build-to-rent practices, and stronger consumer protection.

Signed the Nevada Housing Access and Attainability Act, which his campaign says invests $183 million in middle-income and workforce housing, and says he has streamlined rules for home construction.

Says that as attorney general he cracked down on fentanyl traffickers and ghost guns; as a state senator he led passage of a law requiring police officers to wear body cameras.

Supports holding people accountable for serious harm while investing in mental health care, addiction treatment, crisis response and corrections oversight.

Campaign cites pay raises for law enforcement and higher penalties for fentanyl traffickers; says he wants to undo what he calls Democrats' "soft-on-crime" laws.

Says he would sign a repeal of Nevada's right-to-work law in his first term if the Legislature passes one, calling such laws "anti-worker."

As attorney general sued the Trump administration over its tariffs and says he wants Nevadans repaid for the higher costs they paid because of them.

Supports keeping Nevada's right-to-work law, which bars requiring union membership as a condition of employment; his campaign said in April 2026 that his position has not changed.

Says only eligible U.S. citizens should vote; supports secure elections, accurate voter rolls and identity verification, and says any ID or document requirement must be constitutional, funded, accessible and carefully phased in; supports campaign finance transparency and a larger role for nonpartisan voters.

Supports a voter ID requirement and cites his role in starting the process that put a voter ID constitutional amendment on the ballot; voters approved it in 2024 and it returns to the ballot in 2026.

Says he would pause data center tax breaks until companies meet their commitments and require data centers to bring their own clean energy, grid infrastructure and water; supports residential solar and efficiency incentives.

Wants public information on data centers' water, energy, grid and job impacts before more tax abatements, and ties major development to transparent water planning.

Supports lawful gun ownership and says Nevada should enforce background checks, strengthen crisis intervention, and support training and safe storage.

In 2023 vetoed AB 354 (guns near election sites and unfinished frames or receivers), AB 355 (raising the age to possess certain firearms to 21) and SB 171 (firearm ban after certain hate-crime convictions), citing Second Amendment concerns.

Says the state should review contracts, no-bid deals and tax abatements before raising taxes; open to studying a transparent state lottery.

His campaign says he reduced the tax burden on businesses, including lowering the Modified Business Tax rate; at his campaign launch he said the bills he vetoed would have raised taxes or grown government.

Proposes a medical debt relief program, action against pharmacy benefit managers that keep drug discounts, and limits on price gouging and fraudulent billing; at his launch he promised to bring prescription drug prices in line with Medicaid's negotiated prices.
