We all remember the Covid-19 pandemic and the unprecedented challenges it brought to our families and communities. In response, Americans received stimulus relief checks—championed by both Republican and Democratic administrations—as a form of national support. These payments proved that, when facing hardship, leaders from both parties can unite to help every American. I am running for Congress to make this kind of support permanent. The affordability crisis is not a partisan issue—it's a challenge faced by everyone in Nevada's 2nd Congressional District and across the country. Our solutions must be as inclusive and universal as the problems we face.

I believe in universal, cradle-to-grave policies that uplift everyone. That's why I support a Freedom Dividend—a Universal Basic Income of $1,300 per month, adjusted for inflation. This would be funded by ensuring that major corporations like Tesla, Amazon, and Nevada's billion-dollar mining industry contribute their fair share. Every Nevadan would receive a regular, unconditional cash payment, regardless of income or employment status, providing real security and freedom for all through a Green Marshall Plan.

These are not Democratic or Republican issues—they're basic human rights. Every person in Nevada deserves dignity, security, and the chance to live a good life. These rights do not belong to one party—they belong to all of us, and they are not up for negotiation.
