Why I'm Running

I'm Chris Brandlin. I'm an attorney licensed in California and Texas and admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court. I hold a PhD in public policy and administration, an MBA in finance and a credential in dietetics, and I've spent twenty years in health and fitness.

I'm running because the three things every family in Spring Valley, Mountain's Edge and Enterprise lives with every day are decided in Carson City: public safety, education and public health. Those decisions deserve someone who has done the work. Not someone who takes the vote she's handed.

The incumbent, Tracy Brown-May, voted yes on 655 of 661 floor votes in 2025. Six no votes in an entire session.

She raised $600,170 for this seat, and 82.9% of it came from PACs, corporations and LLCs. She chairs the Assembly Health and Human Services Committee and sits on Ways and Means, while her employer, Opportunity Village, depends on the Medicaid dollars those committees shape. See the full pattern →

From the Fieldto the Floor

I built a career in health and fitness. I won Mr. Los Angeles Natural in 2010 and was published in Muscle & Fitness the same year.

Then rare health conditions hit, and the system treated me like a billing code. I rebuilt my health through metabolic nutrition, an animal-based diet and oxygen-based therapies. Then I went back to school and earned the credentials to turn what I learned into policy.

I don't just understand these issues in theory. I have lived them.

Safer streets. Better schools. Healthier families.

Public Safety

Safe neighborhoods come first. Las Vegas Metro is short officers. I'll fight for the staffing, retention and equipment they need, and for policies that cut crime without cutting corners on the Constitution.

  • A fully staffed Las Vegas Metro
  • Constitutional rights protected
  • Crime policy led by data, not press releases

Education

More than half of Nevada's third graders don't read at grade level. That is a crisis, not a talking point. I'll put reading, math, science and critical thinking back at the center of every classroom, with parents as partners.

  • Reading by third grade, math by fifth
  • Parents informed, not sidelined
  • Real PE in the school day

Public Health

Our system treats patients like repeat customers. I rebuilt my own health with metabolic medicine and real food, then earned the credentials to turn it into policy. Prevention should be paid for the way prescriptions are.

  • Prevention reimbursed on par with prescriptions
  • Metabolic medicine protected in Nevada
  • Plain-English informed consent

Three pillars, nine commitments. The full platform covers parental rights, affordability, homelessness, healthcare reform and more, and puts each one next to where Tracy Brown-May stands on the same issue.

Where I Stand

The lines drawn before Election Day.

What I Stand FOR

  • Full backing for law enforcement + first responders
  • Core academics — reading, math, science, critical thinking
  • Prevention-first medicine + patient transparency
  • Constitutional freedoms + parental rights
  • Affordability for working AD-42 families

What I Stand AGAINST

  • Special-interest capture of the Nevada Assembly
  • Officials chairing committees that shape their own employer's funding
  • Treating patients as repeat customers
  • Rubber-stamp voting: 655 yes votes out of 661 in 2025
  • Slogans without a record behind them

Compare the Record

Every claim here comes from the public record: Nevada Legislature NELIS roll calls, Nevada Secretary of State campaign filings, IRS Form 990 nonprofit returns and FEC records. Don't take our word for it. Check it.

Tracy Brown-May wrote AB107, which removes the drug-conviction background check for adults living in foster homes. She sponsored AB202, rewriting managed-care dispute rules, while chairing the committee that sets health policy for her own employer's industry. And she voted yes on 655 of 661 floor votes. The record is public. The choice is yours.

  • AD-42 deserves independent leadership.
  • AD-42 deserves verifiable records.
  • AD-42 deserves real accountability.

Early voting runs October 17 to 30. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.
