The Problem:

Too many Nevadans still leave the state to get the care they need. We don't have enough providers, and the quality of care can vary widely depending on where you live and what you need. That is not a knock on Nevada's healthcare community — this state has many excellent providers and institutions. It's the honest result of decades where growth outpaced the workforce, infrastructure did not keep up, and the state did not always have a long-term vision to improve the quality, availability, and cost of healthcare.

Our Progress:

• Nevada's first standalone children's hospital broke ground this year — a billion-dollar investment that will end Las Vegas's status as the largest metro area in America without one.
• Nevada became the first state in the nation to create a formal children's mental health credential, funding new training programs at UNLV, UNR, and Great Basin College, and a new 70-bed youth behavioral health center is under construction in Washoe County.
• The state stood up its first unified Health Authority and secured nearly $180 million a year in new federal funding for rural care.
• Campus For Hope – through public/private partnership, we're building a dedicated campus to support homeless families and individuals get back on their feet through workforce training, counseling, and other support services ensuring they have the tools to permanently succeed.
• Added 27,000 new healthcare workers across the state.

Our Vision:

• Target healthcare as an industry to recruit and grow — research, medical technology, and training institutions that create jobs and keep the best medical talent right here.
• Train more doctors, nurses, and health professionals in Nevada, and give them real incentives to stay.
• Raise the floor on quality everywhere in the state — close the distance between Nevadans and their doctor with telehealth and partnerships that bring world-class expertise home.
• Build on Nevada's genuine strengths: this state already has excellent care in many places, and the goal is to make that the standard everywhere, not the exception.

The Problem:

For over a decade, Nevada has added an average of 24,000 new residents a year — and for over a decade, home building hasn't kept pace. Housing must be built at least as fast as Nevada grows, or prices keep climbing. That gap is the root of the affordability crisis.

Our Progress:

• Nevada families are living in new homes made accessible through the Governor's Attainable Housing Program — a partnership between the state and private developers that supports new construction, interest rate buy down, and down payment assistance.
• Nevada workers saw the largest pay increase of any state in the country last year, and rents in Southern Nevada have eased back below the national average.
• The state has already begun cutting red tape and streamlining permitting to get more homes built.

Our Vision:

• Help the people who serve us afford to live here — expand down payment support under the Attainable Housing Program so nurses, teachers, military families, and first responders can own a home in the community they serve.
• Put Nevada families first: when a home comes up for sale, they compete with each other, not with out-of-state investors and corporate buyers.
• Keep working hand in hand with our federal partners to responsibly release more land for attainable housing — Nevada's single biggest lever on supply.
• Build faster and better: cut red tape, streamline permitting, and pair public dollars with private capital to get homes built at the speed families need — through incentives that reward reform

The Problem:

For too long, Nevada advanced kids to the next grade without asking whether they could read, write, or do math at grade level — and spent more money without demanding more results. To no one's surprise, that left Nevada ranked near the bottom of the nation in student performance. That is changing… but we have more to do.

Our Progress:

• Nevada's graduation rate just hit a state record — 85.4%, up nearly 4 points in a single year.
• Teacher vacancies in Clark County School District are down roughly 80% from their peak, and Nevada is close to fully staffing its classrooms with licensed teachers for the first time in decades.
• Reading and math scores are climbing for a third straight year, and career and technical education students — kids on a direct path to a trade or career — are graduating at nearly 99%.

Our Vision:

• Every child reads at grade level by third grade — hard stop. That means increasing support for the schools and students who need it most.
• Raise per-pupil funding — and raise our expectations right alongside it. As funding goes up, so does the accountability for results in the classroom.
• If there's a better fit for a child at another school — public, charter, or private — give that child the opportunity to maximize their talents and become the best version of themselves.
• Great teachers in every classroom, kept there with competitive pay and new pathways into the profession.

The Problem:

For too long, Nevada was the first state into every recession and the last to recover, while paychecks failed to keep pace with the rising cost of living. That story is changing, but families need to feel the progress in their own lives – not just hear about it. And to keep our economy growing, we need a smarter, more strategic approach to economic development. Years of piecemeal policies have weakened our economic development agency and limited our ability to attract the industries we actually want. Aaron Ford's data center tax abatement law is a perfect example: it offered generous incentives without meaningful standards for water use, energy demand, noise, or zoning. We can – and must – do better.

Our Progress:

• Governor Lombardo has championed pro-business policies, by eliminating 900 burdensome regulations, lowering the Modified Business Tax rate by 15%, lowering the unemployment insurance tax rate, and vetoing all tax increases proposed by Democrats – which has brought new industries and over 100,000 new jobs to Nevada.
• Nevada has led the nation in workforce growth, recorded the largest increase in hourly wages in America, created more jobs than California despite having a workforce one-eleventh its size, and earned national recognition as one of the best states to start and grow a business. Las Vegas and Carson City now rank among the strongest metropolitan economies in America, and four Nevada cities rank among the nation's best places to start a small business.
• Nevada also continues to grow outside of Las Vegas and Reno through minerals processing, battery recycling, and advanced manufacturing in Storey, Humboldt, and Elko counties — anchored by the nation's largest operating lithium mine and one of just 31 federally designated Tech Hubs in the country, building the full lithium supply chain here at home.
• Under Governor Lombardo's leadership, Nevada has generated $6 billion in private economic investment since 2023, the largest amount in state history, bringing new companies and new good-paying jobs to our state.
• We have started the work: a proposal to modernize Nevada's entire tax incentive and abatement program, and a top-to-bottom review of the data center abatements — the first hard look at these incentives since the program was written.

Our Vision:

• Maintain commitment to No New Taxes and champion an annual sales tax holiday, timed to when families need it most around back-to-school season.
• Recruit and grow the industries of the future that match Nevada's workforce, natural resources, geography and other competitive advantages (like critical minerals, healthcare, sports, technology, advanced manufacturing, and corporate headquarters that pay competitive wages to Nevada families), while also rewriting our abatement laws: every incentive tied to real guardrails and real goals, like power, water, local jobs, and investment – not blank checks.
• Build a Nevada workforce that's always one step ahead: trained not just for the jobs open today, but for the industries now taking root here — so Nevada workers get first crack at what's next.
• Hold to a firm commitment that no Nevada resident or business will lose power, or see their rates rise, to subsidize data center growth, and direct a share of data center and other abated revenue directly to K-12 education and workforce development.

The Problem:

Previous administrations had a soft-on-crime attitude. Under current law, for example, someone can carry enough fentanyl to kill thousands of people without being charged as a trafficker. Aaron Ford lobbied for and passed that law. We've cut down that threshold but we need to zero it out.

Our Progress:

• Violent crime in Nevada dropped nearly 7% last year to its lowest level since 1986.
• Property crimes like larceny are decreasing after the Governor's Safe Streets and Neighborhoods Act cracked down on Smash & Grab theft.
• Traffic Fatalities have decreased over 13% after the passage of the Safe Streets and Neighborhoods Act which strengthened penalties for those who drive drunk and kill or seriously injure another person.
• Officer-involved shootings fell to their lowest number since 1991, down more than half in a single year.
• Bullying reports in Nevada schools dropped nearly 14% last year, and cyberbullying reports dropped 20% — real signs schools are getting safer for kids.

Our Vision:

• Close the fentanyl and hard drug trafficking loophole: rewrite the trafficking threshold so someone carrying enough to kill thousands of people is treated like the trafficker they are.
• Crack down on human and drug trafficking at every level — Nevada will not be a pass-through state for either.
• Justice starts with the victim: violent and repeat offenders serve the sentences they're given, no exceptions.
• Back the officers who keep us safe with the pay, training, and support it takes to recruit and retain the best.
