Reason for running: Over the past 10 years I believe I've seen an erosion of liberty in Nevada I can only call California-ization. It's not just the staggering increase in taxing and spending. It's the encroachment of government into all sorts of new areas of commerce and ever personal decision making. I hope to turn Nevada back from this push toward California liberalism. I want my Nevada back.
