Thank you, Siena Progressive Club for having me last night.

The Lombardo-Trump economy is rigged against Nevadans trying their hardest to stay afloat.

As Governor, I will prioritize making life more affordable for working families.

Nevadans shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent and filling their prescription. But health care costs have risen faster here than anywhere else in the country.

As Governor, I’ll bring the costs of prescription drugs down to the Medicare-negotiated price for all Nevadans.

At a time when too many children in Nevada don’t know where their next meal is going to come from, Joe Lombardo vetoed a bill that would have guaranteed school meals.

As Governor, I’m going to guarantee school meals and put money back in parents’ pockets.

I’m not playing around. If corporations are illegally jacking up prices on hardworking Nevadans, I will hold them accountable.

At a time when Nevadans are having to donate blood in order to pay their rent, we must do everything we can to make Nevada more affordable.

If Congress doesn’t work together to save the ACA tax credits, Nevadans could see their premiums jump from $595 to $2,021 a month — a $1,425 increase for the same plan.

Health care costs have risen faster in Nevada than anywhere else, we need to get serious about keeping costs down for families.

Nevadans are struggling with rising costs, and Joe Lombardo’s embrace of Trump’s reckless policies are only making things worse.

As Governor, lowering costs — from housing to healthcare — will be my top priority.

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.

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!

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.

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.
