Good afternoon, Senate District 5!

Now three days post-election, I am deeply moved and grateful to have been re-elected to represent you in Carson City. It’s truly an honor to have your vote and your support. In this hard-fought race, you, the voting citizens of Nevada, have proven yourselves the real heroes of this election cycle. 

Nevada was a great example of the rise in voter registration, voter turnout and volunteerism that Republicans saw nationwide. Had it not been for you and your commitment to the values that we hold so dear, our outcome on Tuesday could have been different. Thank you to all of you that made phone calls, knocked on your neighbors’ doors, put out campaign signs, donated funds, supported Taco Tuesdays, and volunteered your time to help with my campaign. It meant so much to have your friendship and support.

Not only can we celebrate some national victories, but also some great victories for Nevada, too. We successfully kept the Democrat supermajority at bay and defended Gov. Joe Lombardo’s veto power, a crucial component of defending conservative values in our state. With my fellow legislators and the leadership of Gov. Lombardo, I vow to continue as a champion for Nevadans’ prosperity, safety, and education. 

Building off of our progress and success from previous sessions, it’s my hope to build a stronger economy by decreasing government spending, resisting government regulation of businesses, promoting incentives for entrepreneurship and small business management, and using creative and responsible government spending strategies without raising taxes on Nevadans. Furthermore, as we grow our economy and bring more people to our state, we must focus on ways to promote the building of housing that Nevadans can afford, and to provide educational opportunities that make the most sense for our families. 

I do not take your trust lightly, and as you have worked so hard for me, know that I will work hard for you. As always, please feel free to reach out to me with your concerns, and more importantly, with your ideas. Once again, thank you for your support and your vote! Now, we get to work!

All the best,

Carrie
