Contract With Nevada

Please initial each point with which you agree.

Name

1. Taxpayer Relief Act:

Immediately repeal the Commerce Tax or any other similar tax such as a margins tax, gross receipts
tax, value added tax or income tax. We fellow Nevadans do not want any tax that will require any form
of governmental agency similar to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). We support either a ballot
initiative or will offer legislation that will repeal such a tax.
2. True Education Reform Act:
We acknowledge the need for the public school system but understand that true reform of government
run education is necessary. Evaluation of existing educational programs for effectiveness and
eliminating unsuccessful programs that are wasting needed resources is our priority. We shall
implement proven successful methods from those states that rank the highest in education
performance and work towards implementing those proven methods. Teachers are our biggest asset in
education, and therefore effective teachers shall be rewarded while ineffective teachers must be
removed from the classroom.
Further, we enthusiastically support the Educational Savings Accounts legislation passed in the 2015
Legislative session. Accordingly, we will push to increase school choice and remove all barriers to a
parents right to have the dollars follow the student, including those students already enrolled in private
school or are home schooled.
3. Stop Common Core Act:
Remove the Common Core standards/curriculum and replace them with standards/curriculum that are
free and have been proven successful such as the pre-Common Core Massachusetts Standards. Also
stop and prevent all data mining of our children and ensure that our childrens records remain
confidential and are NOT shared without parental permission. And finally, stop the mandatory SBAC
testing and replace it with a proven testing method that actually measures a students academic
progress.
4. Law Enforcement Safety Act:
Require law enforcement to implement the wearing of body cameras while on duty. This practice will
ensure safety for law enforcement and the public. Unlawful acts committed by either criminals or law
enforcement can be captured on camera and will be a deterrent, promote safety, and protect the
innocent.
5. Voter Integrity Act:
We strongly support the right to vote and the integrity of that vote. We will require that all voters, at the
polling place, shall be required to verify their identity with a Government issued photo ID card. Further,
we will require an integrity and security audit of all electronic voting machines to ensure that there is no
fraud or capability to commit fraud during the voting process.

6. Health Care Reform Act:

We believe that free market strategies always produce better and more efficient results that are less
expensive to the consumer. Therefore we believe that the government should NOT be in control of
your health care decisions. We will support legislation to remove the Nevada Silver State Exchange or
any similar mandated participation in government run healthcare. We will work towards eliminating
crippling government requirements on doctors to allow them to treat patients rather than fill out endless
government paperwork, thereby lowering costs and increasing access and levels of care to all.
7. Children's Privacy Act:
Enact legislation that all restrooms and athletic locker rooms in public schools shall be biologically
gender specific. Transgender and other students with gender confusion shall be accommodated with
access to faculty and staff rest room and locker room facilities. All students deserve the right of dignity
in the most private of situations. Unnecessary infringement on the rights of the majority is not the
answer.
8. Parental Notification Act:
A parent has the right, duty and responsibility to help their children make the best decisions possible to
ensure the childs healthy and happy development. Therefore we shall enact a requirement that any
medical procedure involving a minor under the age of 18 shall require, prior to the procedure,
notification of the parents.
9. Free Market Fairness and Transparency
Free market principles and transparent competition lead to innovation and offer equal opportunity.
Government no bid contracts and government selected business subsidies disrupt these principles,
stifle progress, and squelch opportunity while significantly increasing costs to government. We intend to
end these unfair practices and open the government contracting process to any and all persons and
businesses that meet truly reasonable standards so that businesses can fairly compete in offering the
best quality product or service at the best price.
10. Second Amendment Adherence Act:
We support the progress regarding Second Amendment rights that resulted from the 2015 Legislative
session. We desire to continue to promote Second Amendment rights as guaranteed by our
Constitution. Therefore we shall support concealed carry rights to assure the same self-defense
options are available to individuals on all public higher education campuses as those enjoyed on the
public streets of Nevada.
Further, we pledge to work with all parties to enact tax reductions beyond those specifically mentioned
above and to establish budget savings and priorities to ensure that our state budget remains balanced
while addressing essential government services.
I support the Contract With Nevada and will work to implement those acts listed within. It is my hope
that all those wishing to serve the residents of the great state of Nevada will join by signing this
contract as outlined and work to accomplish the goals set forth.
