“Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing”-Laurie Buchanan
Key issues for Chrystal:
Economic Development
More opportunities to learn trades in primary and secondary education in Northern Nevada.
More interstate compacts for licensed professionals.
More investments in renewable energy, which is Nevada’s new Comstock Lode.
Support the small businesses we have and encourage more to start.
Big business needs to PAY TO PLAY; no more large abatements and giveaways.
Affordable Housing
Nevada should not be bending the knee to venture capitalists. Their properties are investments and should be taxed that way!
Tiny homes and ADUs versus high-density sprawl that affects our community’s character, strains infrastructure, and water usage.
Limiting short-term rentals.
Healthcare
Healthcare is a human right.
Expanding coverage and services for dental care, eye care, and hearing aids.
Support, protect, and improve Telehealth options.
Support and evolve the use of psychedelics in mental health treatment in Nevada.
Continued support of diversion and mental health court programs.
Disability Rights
Nevadans with disabilities get a seat at the table. ALWAYS.
Continued support and funding for transportation services.
Streamlining policy to make it easier for Nevadans and their medical providers to go through the process of obtaining durable medical equipment and supplies with insurance and Medicaid.
Funding to fill gaps in government and community programs for seniors and Nevadans with disabilities, to include respite, durable medical equipment, and caregiving.
