My candidacy for State Senate is driven by a deep-rooted passion for community service. I have dedicated my life to serving our community, and I am committed to continuing this service as your State Senator.
My roots in Reno run deep, with my family settling here in 1914. As a third-generation Reno resident, I am deeply invested in the future of our city and state. My wife, Dana, and I have been married for 34 years and are the proud parents to three daughters, all of whom have chosen to live and work in Nevada. Their careers in law enforcement, healthcare, and electric vehicle technology reflect our shared commitment to the well-being and progress of our community.
I’m running because I care deeply about the future of our city and state. My goal is to make Nevada the best place in America to raise a family by increasing quality-of-life and decreasing the cost it takes to afford it.
I have been a volunteer community leader my entire life. As I near retirement, running to serve the constituents of District 15 is the next step in that community service.
I have extensive experience in volunteer leadership roles serving as the original Sierra Nevada Community Aquatics nonprofit president to get the new Moana pool built, Chairman and Commissioner of City of Reno Parks & Recreation, Caughlin Ranch HOA, City of Reno Neighborhood Advisory Board, Nevada Interscholastic Athletic Association, Reno Area Triathletes, Ironman Lake Tahoe, and have volunteered with the Washoe County School District for the past 18 years.
I have degrees from the University of Nevada-Reno (Go Pack!) and Truckee Meadows Community College and my professional affiliations include memberships in the Builders Association of Northern Nevada and Associated General Contractors for over twenty years, the Prospectors' Club, and Reno Elks Lodge. I started with Sierra Pacific Power Co. in 1985, and I am ready to serve the constituents of District 15 in the Nevada Legislature.
The Reno area holds a special place in my heart, and I am proud to call it home. I am deeply committed to preserving and enhancing the unique qualities that make our community such a wonderful place to live.
I am running for State Senate District 15 because I have proven that I truly care what happens in our community. If you’re tired of politics - then I’m your guy; I’m just running to get to work for you.
I humbly ask for your support and your vote. See you on the trail.
- Mike
Governor Joe Lombardo has been rebuilding our economy and middle class and needs support in Carson City. Under his leadership, and in just a little over one year, we have seen our economy rebound with diversified growth. I want to continue to see our state prosper with job creators and a competitive workforce and that means continuing to support the Governor's Nevada Way. We must keep State Senate District 15 to do so.
Our children are our future, and their education sets the foundation for their success. We must celebrate and support the heroes in our education system and offer competitive compensation to retain and attract new exceptional educators and support staff. Not only have I personally met some of these heroes, but my mom was one - a Washoe Educator for 35 years. Let's continue to develop dynamic pathways for our youth to attain elite national programs, higher education, trades, and the workforce. My goal is for our grandkids to be able to go to school, enjoy a fulfilling career, and also have a family here in the Silver State.
Health and wellness are critical for thriving, prosperous communities—and for all ages! Sports, fitness, classes, recreation, artistic expression, and more keep our city vibrant and healthy. Governor Lombardo has an extensive Health and wellness policy program that I strongly support. I support policies to incentivize Nevadans and Nevada graduates in healthcare to stay and provide care here. We must also care for our Veterans, Seniors, and those with needs.
In Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, safety and security are just above physiological needs such as air and water. But I don't want our communities to survive; I want us to thrive! This means strongly supporting our law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics, social workers, mental health counselors, and so many others who serve our communities. As a parent and grandparent, I am particularly concerned with dangerous drugs making their way onto our streets. I will always support policies that prioritize your safety and that of your family.
