🛡

1. Public Safety

Safe neighborhoods are the foundation of a good life — for every family in Spring Valley, Mountain's Edge, Enterprise, and the southwest valley. Republican, Democrat, or independent, that's a shared starting point.

✔ Full support for Las Vegas Metro and Henderson PD staffing + retention
✔ Constitutional rights protected for every Nevadan
✔ Evidence-based crime reduction — let the data lead, not the press release

⚠ Opponent's Record

Tracy Brown-May voted YES on AB217 (restricting federal officer access to school grounds), AJR9 (urging Congress to limit federal immigration enforcement), and AB245 (banning firearm possession for Nevadans under 21).

  
🎓

2. Education

Nevada's children deserve a return to the basics — reading, math, science, critical thinking — with full transparency for the parents who pay the taxes and raise the children.

✔ Core academics prioritized at every grade level
✔ Parental notification + transparency in classroom curriculum
✔ Real school choice — let families pick the school that works for their child

⚠ Opponent's Record

Tracy Brown-May is the primary sponsor of AB331 (expanding the CDC Youth Risk Behavior Survey in Nevada classrooms). She voted YES on AB495 raising the bar to revoke a failing charter school's charter.

3. Public Health

Prevention, metabolic medicine, real food, and informed consent. Treat patients as individuals seeking restoration — not as repeat customers for any industry.

✔ Prevention-first medicine reimbursed on parity with pharmaceutical care
✔ Functional and metabolic medicine protected as a Nevada specialty
✔ Patient transparency and informed consent on every prescription and procedure

⚠ Opponent's Record

Primary sponsor of AB107 (removing controlled-substance background-check requirement for foster-home residents). 2025 session: 655 Yea, 6 Nay — a 99.1% party-line voting record. See full record →

  
👪

4. Family & Parental Rights

Parents — not state agencies, not federal surveys, not classroom curricula — make the major decisions about their children's education, healthcare, and personal information.

✔ Active (not passive) parental consent for any survey of a minor's behavior
✔ Full curriculum transparency in every Nevada public-school classroom
✔ Parental notification on every medical or social decision affecting a minor at school

⚠ Opponent's Record

Tracy Brown-May sponsored AB331 expanding CDC behavioral surveys in Nevada classrooms. The 2025 session did not produce a single bill strengthening active parental consent.

 

 

💰

5. Affordability

The grocery bill is a tax bill. The gas-pump price is a tax bill. The rent is a tax bill. Carson City's job is to make those bills smaller — not bigger.

✔ Oppose every additional fuel-tax authority in Clark County
✔ Sponsor a Family Affordability Index — tracking cost-of-living impact annually
✔ Defend cottage-food and direct-farm-sale laws for Nevada families

⚠ Opponent's Record

Tracy Brown-May voted YES on AB530 to expand fuel-tax authority in Clark County (April 17, 2025). Every penny on diesel lands on every grocery receipt in AD-42.

6. Homelessness — Treatment AND Accountability

Real compassion is mental-health treatment, addiction recovery, and a structured path back into community — not tolerated encampments under our overpasses.

✔ Fund mental-health beds and addiction-recovery capacity at scale
✔ Partner with church-based recovery networks and Nevada Health Centers
✔ Defend neighborhoods from drug markets and theft that follow tolerated encampments

⚠ Opponent's Record

AD-42 deserves a representative who will work with Mayor Goodman, the County Commission, and the recovery community — not someone who waits for a press release.

 

 

☤

7. Healthcare Reform — Sick-Care to Real Care

Patients are not customers. Doctors are not vending machines. Insurance is not health. Reimburse the registered dietitian on parity with the prescription pad.

✔ Reimburse functional and metabolic interventions on parity with pharmaceutical interventions
✔ Plain-English informed consent on every prescription and procedure
✔ Protect Nevada's metabolic-medicine practitioners from out-of-state regulatory pressure

⚠ Opponent's Record

Nobody in Carson City is asking whether the medicine is the right answer in the first place. That conversation needs someone who has read the literature. Dr. Brandlin's credentials →

  
👋

8. Grassroots — Door by Door

Dr. Brandlin knocks the doors himself. Every Saturday in Spring Valley, Mountain's Edge, Enterprise, and the southwest of AD-42. He does not hire a consultant to do the listening for him.

✔ Weekly door-walking in every neighborhood of AD-42 through Election Day
✔ Open quarterly town halls — listening before proposing
✔ Direct response to every constituent message — not a form letter

⚠ Opponent's Record

A representative who only sees voters on a postcard does not understand what AD-42 actually needs. Watch Dr. Brandlin on the trail →

 

 

⚖

9. Independent Voice for AD-42

When the right bill comes from across the aisle, he will vote for it. When the wrong bill comes from his own party, he will vote against it. AD-42 deserves a representative who answers to this district — not to a caucus whip.

✔ Publish a yearly bill-by-bill record explaining every floor vote in plain English
✔ Co-sponsor with any colleague — regardless of party — on bills that help AD-42 families
✔ Never trade a vote for a chairmanship, a committee assignment, or a campaign-donor list

⚠ Opponent's Record

99.1%

Party-Line Vote Rate

Independent voices in Carson City are rare. 99% party-line records are common. AD-42 has a choice: keep the second, or send the first.
