D Democratic Susie Lee

Supports supply chain reshoring and cost reduction

Lee focuses on lowering everyday costs for working families by bringing supply chains back to America, stopping corporate greed, and lowering prescription drug prices. She emphasizes her background growing up in a large working-class family and highlights her bipartisan track record on economic initiatives.

• Proposes bringing supply chains back to America to reduce everyday consumer costs.
• Supports cracking down on corporate price gouging and corporate greed.
• Advocates middle-class tax relief and economic diversification initiatives in Southern Nevada.

“From combating the drought, to bringing supply chains back to America to lower costs, to ensuring our veterans get the benefits they deserve, Susie Lee has effectively worked with both parties and delivered for Nevadans.”

“I grew up in a working family of ten that had to stretch every dollar – I understand the pressures facing Nevada families right now. Our community needs a fighter who will roll up her sleeves to lower costs, protect health care, and stop corporate greed.”

R Republican Marty O'Donnell

Supports worker protections and small business growth

O'Donnell argues that the economy is tilted against working families and small businesses due to government-created inflation and corporate influence. He advocates for policies that ensure one good job is sufficient to support a family while establishing safeguards for workers facing disruption from AI and automation.

• Advocates for investments and safeguards to protect blue-collar and white-collar workers from automation and AI displacement.
• Pledges to reduce government regulatory and tax burdens on small businesses.
• Promotes policies to restore an economy where a single income can support a household.

“One good job should be enough; it used to be enough. And it can be again. I'm tired of seeing our leaders influenced by special interests and big corporations, rigging the system against working people and making it too difficult for families to make ends meet.”

“As your congressman, I will fight to secure an economy that prioritizes American workers and protects livelihoods. While we invest in technologies that increase efficiency and productivity, we must include additional investments, safeguards and protections for American workers.”

• Advocates providing a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and protecting DREAMers and TPS holders.
• Opposes family separation policies at the southern border while calling for accountability at federal enforcement agencies.

Supports immediate enforcement and border wall construction

O'Donnell considers border security a constitutional mandate and criticizes the Biden administration for lax enforcement. He calls for completing physical border infrastructure, cutting off public benefits to illegal immigrants, and targeting human and drug trafficking networks.

• Demands immediate enforcement of existing border laws and continued construction of physical border barriers.
• Pledges to eliminate federal and state benefit programs that act as magnets for illegal immigration.
• Calls for aggressive federal targeting of human trafficking and drug cartel networks.

“By ending the magnets that cause illegal immigration, we can ensure our border stays secure. Additionally, we must continue to build what is needed to ensure we have proper control over our border and we must aggressively target the exploitation of human and drug trafficking in our country.”

• Promotes policy support for two-parent and kinship households.

“I want to champion the family as critical for a child’s development and success. My approach, however, is inclusive, recognizing all who step up to provide for their children. It doesn’t take a village to raise a child, it takes a family; and it takes families to make a village.”
