There are many issues I plan to tackle in the office. Read more about why I am running, and view more of my priorities here.

• We cannot afford the status quo.  Crime must be stopped before it occurs.  Police have always adopted these methods.  It is time for the District Attorney, as the top law enforcement office, to take the lead.  Waiting until a crime occurs, and then prosecuting it, as has been done for decades, is not the mark of a modern approach.
• Proposal of a state law or county ordinance which would allow qualified professionals, such as doctors and psychologists, to order chemically addicted persons into counseling, on an out-patient basis, subject to court review. This procedure would attack addictions much earlier, before these same people are arrested. Currently the only way we see people in the system is after an arrest, which necessarily means someone could be a victim of the offender.
• I will make sure that there is upward mobility for women in the office.  As of the commencement of my campaign, no women are allowed to prosecute murder and other high profile cases.  Several of the best and brightest women have left the office because of this fact.
• Prevent needless civil judgments against the County by addressing civil law issues much earlier in the process, or through settlement and mediation.  Millions of dollars in taxes are being spent on judgments that could have been prevented.  Legal costs for outside attorneys that are hired to represent the current D.A. and his employees in the numerous lawsuits against them is massive.  This must stop.
• Address hostile workplace/human resources issues to make the District Attorney’s Office a safe environment for everyone.
• As District Attorney I will not make traffic stops.  Doing so is unlawful.  If it were not unlawful, I would still not do so, even though I am a former police officer, 6′4″ in height, and in excellent physical shape due to the many marathons I have completed  This unlawful activity will cease and traffic enforcement will be left to professionals with up-to-date training, equipment and procedures for citizen complaints.  Under Nevada law, police officers are the only ones that can make such stops.  There are laws and procedures in place to address officers that do not act professionally.  No such procedure is in place to address such actions by the District Attorney.  Such traffic stops are very dangerous, and should be made only by those qualified, both physically and by temperament, to do so.
• Work in good faith with employees and citizens to prevent lawsuits against the Office.
• Bolster relationships with law enforcement and all County agencies represented by the Office.  As an 18 year prosecutor and as a former police officer, I have forged alliances with the police agencies in this County.  As my Endorsements page attests, I am supported by many retired officers.  I would urge citizens to ask any law enforcement officers or attorneys that they know personally who to support for District Attorney.
