If you’ve felt politically homeless lately, you’re not alone — and you’re not the problem.

You might want lower taxes and less waste. You might disagree with your neighbor on a few other things. But you’re not looking for a party to belong to. You’re looking for someone who shows up, pays attention, and actually gets results instead of fighting the same old battles for an audience that isn’t you.

That’s exactly why I’m running. Not to win an argument, and not to represent a party. I’m running because the Secretary of State’s office touches nearly everything a Nevadan does with state government, from business licensing to election administration to the state’s official records, and it deserves someone who treats that responsibility as a job to be done well, not a platform to be exploited.

I spent 20 years as a civil litigation paralegal and 20 years as a computer systems analyst. That’s not a talking point — it’s how I think. I look at evidence, I find what’s broken, and I fix it. No theater. No culture-war noise. Just the job.

As your next Secretary of State, here’s what that looks like in practice:

Election Integrity

Nevada’s voter rolls have to be maintained the way any large system of record should be: consistently, transparently, and without partisan spin. That means routinely identifying and removing duplicate or ineligible registrations, working with county clerks to keep records current, and implementing the Voter ID requirements Nevada voters already approved at the ballot box. None of this requires new legislation. It requires a Secretary of State who uses the authority the office already has, and does it in public view, so every voter regardless of party can trust the process.

A State That Works for Business

Nevada built its reputation as a place where entrepreneurs could start something new without the state getting in the way. That reputation is worth protecting. The Commerce Tax adds cost and complexity that falls hardest on the small and mid-sized businesses Nevada needs most if it’s going to diversify its economy beyond tourism and gaming. And business owners who form an LLC or corporation here shouldn’t have their personal information exposed as a matter of routine. Repealing the Commerce Tax burden and protecting the privacy of business formation are both squarely within what the Secretary of State’s office can push for today.

Real Oversight of State IT Systems

Nevada is in the middle of moving its business licensing platform, SilverFlume, over to a new system called ORION. That’s exactly the kind of transition where things go wrong quietly, through cost overruns, missed deadlines, and disruptions that hit business owners who depend on the state to process their filings on time. With 20 years as a computer systems analyst behind me, I know what to look for in a project like this before it becomes a crisis, and how to hold vendors and agencies accountable for hitting their marks. Nevadans deserve a Secretary of State who can ask the right technical questions instead of taking a vendor’s timeline at face value.

You don’t need to pick a side to back this campaign, and you don’t need to agree with me on everything else going on in politics right now. You just need to want a Secretary of State who shows up, does the work, and answers to the people who elected him rather than to a party apparatus. If that’s the kind of representation you’ve been missing, I’d be glad to have your support this November.

That’s what #YourIndependentVoice means. Results, not noise.
