America, listen up. I don’t care what party you’re in, what religion you worship, nor do I care what the color of your skin is, nor do I care about your gender. If you’re an American, you know that tomorrow is an important day. Tomorrow is a chance for you to vote for who represents you in the House of Representatives and in your State House. For the lot of you, tomorrow also includes a chance to vote for who will be your State Senator, Governor, other Statewide positions or Senator. These positions, and, who fills them, are important. They decide what kind of taxes you pay and how much. They decide how your hard-earned tax dollars are spent. They decide what priorities our country and our states have. They have more control over our lives that you realize. I know this from personal experience. In 2017, our Congress decided that the Federal Perkins Loan, which was established in 1957 to help low income students pay for college, was no longer needed. In 60 years’ time, o...

This is my final endorsement list for the 2018 midterm elections. Any other endorsements I make will be on my Facebook page. I don't have the time to give detailed information about every single candidate. And I'll admit, I'll probably miss a few candidates that really deserve to be talked about more.

This is my endorsement list for the state of Nevada. S enate: Jacky Rosen. Nevada deserves a Senator that will look out for their best interests and that's Jacky Rosen. Unlike Sen. Dean Heller, who first said he was against repealing the Affordable Care Act and then backtracked and has consistently tried to gut it since, Jacky Rosen supports the Affordable Care Act, but also wants to ensure that everyone can afford health care by putting caps on prescription costs and limiting out of pocket costs. Nevada deserves a Senator who won't try to take away their health care, but instead try to make it better. Furthermore, Nevada deserves a Senator who will stand up to President Trump. Sen. Heller not only failed to do so when the ACA was almost repealed, but he also failed to stand up when alleged sexual assaulter Brett Kavanaugh was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court without thorough vetting. Sen. Heller sent a message to his constituents through his vote for Kavanaugh tha...
