From lowering the costs of prescription drugs to the Medicare-negotiated price for all Nevadans to investing in vocational education, our agenda focuses on uplifting working families.

Attorney General Aaron Ford visits Mesquite - Mesa Valleys Progress

Health care costs are becoming more unaffordable for so many Nevadans.

If Donald Trump can pass the largest permanent tax cut for billionaires in our nation’s history, surely he can work with Congress to save the ACA tax credits and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for Nevadans.

As I talk to Nevadans across our state, the same issue comes up over and over again: rising costs. Prices are rising and it’s becoming harder for working families in Nevada to make ends meet.

As Governor, I will prioritize lowering costs for Nevadans.

It’s always good to see so many familiar faces at Fiesta Filipino!

From workers who fought for labor rights to healthcare workers who keep our communities healthy, they have helped move our nation forward.

Happy Filipino American History Month!

I was glad to have my favorite lady by my side as I presented ACLU of Nevada’s Chester Civil Rights Leadership Award to Erica Castro.

Congratulations, Erica!

On Joe Lombardo’s watch, homelessness is at its highest peak since the Great Recession. Instead of fighting for working families, he’s vetoed legislation that would have lowered housing costs.

As Governor, my priority will be making Nevada more affordable.

Like the State of Nevada, under Joe Lombardo, the City of Las Vegas has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation.

Lombardo said it himself, “the unemployment rate hasn’t gotten better.”

Thank you, Mesquite!

I had a blast last night talking with voters in rural Nevada about the importance of making our state more affordable and strengthening our schools.

Let’s move our state #FOrwaRD — together!

I hear it all the time: the cost of living in Nevada is too high for working families.

We have to make Nevada more affordable — driving down costs, protecting paychecks, and building an economy that works for everyone.

Trump’s tariffs are raising costs on Nevada families and small businesses while blowing a hole in our state budget.

While Joe Lombardo may think Nevadans need to “feel a little pain” from Trump’s tariffs, I’m fighting his price-hiking agenda in court.

Nevada is facing an affordability crisis under Joe Lombardo. Housing costs are at record highs with no sign of relief in sight.

As Governor, one of my top priorities will be lowering the cost of housing.

As Attorney General, I’ve gone after corporate landlords jacking up prices on renters.

As Governor, we’re going to limit out of state corporations from coming into Nevada, buying up our homes, and pricing hardworking Nevadans out of their neighborhoods.

Joe Lombardo and Donald Trump can call their bill “beautiful” if they want. The fact of the matter is that they are cutting health care for tens of thousands of Nevadans to give billionaires another tax break.

At a time when the cost of housing and essential goods are through the roof — we need leaders who prioritize lowering costs for hardworking families.

As Governor, I will prioritize making Nevada more affordable.

There are too many children in Nevada who don’t know where their next meal is going to come from. Meanwhile, Joe Lombardo vetoed guaranteed school meals and Trump is cutting SNAP benefits.

As Governor, I’m going to guarantee school meals and feed our kids.

Nevadans deserve a Governor who will stand up for them when it matters most. I will be that Governor.

Under Joe Lombardo, 15% of Nevadans don’t know where their next meal is going to come from. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is cutting SNAP benefits for tens of thousands of Nevadans.

As a kid, I ate stale candy bars for dinner. And I’ve been a single parent on food stamps. So, I understand this struggle.

The Nevada Independent @thenvindy.com · 13d

A new report finds that 1 in 4 Nevada children face food insecurity – just as the federal government is cutting funding and research on the issue.

Here’s what experts think Nevada should do to fill the gap: thenevadaindependent.com/article/hung...

Under Joe Lombardo, unemployment is higher today than when he took office in 2023.

Now, we’re seeing our state lose thousands of jobs while costs skyrocket because of Trump’s reckless policies.

This is the Lombardo-Trump economy.

I hear it all over our state: Nevadans are worried about the rising cost of living — and they feel like they’re being ignored.

As Governor, I’ll work to lower costs so you can afford everyday essentials.

Joe Lombardo spent all of 2022 campaigning on Nevada’s unemployment.

Now, Nevada’s unemployment rate is higher today than when he took office.

Nevadans deserve leaders who deliver more than lip service.

The cost of housing in Nevada is at record highs, and I will not tolerate corporations manipulating the market to increase prices on hardworking families.

Understand this: if any company is defrauding Nevadans, I will hold you accountable without fear or favor.

We have to prioritize lowering costs in Nevada.

That’ll be my focus as Governor — and together, we’ll lower the cost of housing and prescription drugs.

As unemployment remains high in Nevada, so do costs. Trump’s policies are devastating our economy — yet Joe Lombardo is his cheerleader-in-chief.

Nevadans deserve a Governor who will work to lower costs — not peddle the President’s disastrous policies.
