Changing course is never easy.
My father was one of ten children.
Fiscally I’m very conservative … others say that I’m socially moderate,
Dad worked his entire career as an aviation technician. Mom was a legal secretary who became a teacher. We lived a simple American life.
I am proud of my heritage and my family.
I don't think it's any secret I've never been an advocate for the Affordable Care Act.
I worked my way through law school.
My first job was cleaning sheep pens.
Nevada was hit hardest by the recession - highest unemployment, highest foreclosure rate, highest bankruptcy rate.
Racial profiling is illegal, and I do not support it.
I know that many students take personal responsibility for their education and succeed as a result. I want them to know they are not alone - that Nevada's system can and will support them.
People have their constitutional right to contribute to a campaign and if they have discretionary money that they want to contribute to a candidate, whether a Republican or a Democrat, they should be able to do so.
As governor, part of my job is to tell people things they don't like to hear.
Unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcy - the cure is not more government spending, but helping businesses create jobs.
