Chris Brandlin is calling on parents, kids, and Nevada families to put the controller down and step outside. In this short message from the campaign trail, the Republican Assembly District 42 candidate makes the case that the average American child now logs more hours on video games and screens than on a football field, a basketball court, or even a neighborhood sidewalk — and that the cost is showing up in childhood obesity rates, attention spans, sleep, and mental health. The "stop playing video games" challenge is aimed squarely at the screen-time culture that has replaced backyard play, pickup games, and after-school sports for a generation of Las Vegas kids.

Where Chris Stands

On the issues, Brandlin is one of the few candidates in the AD-42 race tying childhood inactivity to the bigger fights he is taking to Carson City. This video pairs directly with the rest of his children's-health platform — three planks of a single message: healthier kids build a stronger Nevada, and that starts the moment we stop letting screens raise them.
