As Lieutenant Governor - I could preside over the Nevada Senate unbound and unfettered by partisan agendas.
Congress is giving Nevada over $6 billion to invest in addressing the disparity and disproportionate devastation many families experienced. With this much money, Nevada can increase the number of services providers, reduce barriers to access, and make our communities a place to live and work, even if something happens.

I'm am lucky, though; with 15 years of recovery and 8 years advocating for improvements, I know where the gaps are. Unfortunately, our system was flawed before the pandemic, but now we have an opportunity to fix it.
Congress is giving Nevada over $6 billion to invest in addressing the disparity and disproportionate devastation many families experienced. With this much money, Nevada can increase the number of services providers, reduce barriers to access, and make our communities a place to live and work, even if something happens.
I'm an expert in professional licensing, the Nevada government, and the needs and challenges of those who don't have access to basic primary care, including mental health care. I can put these skills to work for the people of Nevada.Stavros Anthony (R)
Trey Delap (Nonpartisan)
Additionally, the Lieutenant Governor serves in both the executive and legislative branches of state government and is the only one to do so. As president of the Nevada Senate, the Lieutenant Governor may only vote to break a tie. However, a tie is unlikely because there are 21 Nevada Senators.
Unlike the other officers, the Lieutenant Governor is considered part-time. However, they serve as Chair of the Commission on Tourism and on the Board of Economic Development.Stavros Anthony (R)

"Disturbing the Peace" (1991) by Vaclav Havel speaks well about the moral authority of government and how people can make a change.
"The Politics Industry: How Political Innovation Can Break Partisan Gridlock and Save Our Democracy" (2020) by Katherine Gehl and Michael Porter. A profound deconstruction of the behavior of parties as corporate competitors. Also, an illuminating review of the need and opportunity for citizens to make a substantial change - if they want to.
Movies: "Lincoln" (2012) is loaded with nuances of the legislative role in amending the constitution, the power of single votes, and the role of the states in determining who their federal representatives are.
"Star Wars Episodes 1 - 3": Take away the special effects, and focus on the political maneuvering of "Chancellor Palpatine" to see how a democratic republic turns into an authoritarian empire.

Again, at 15, I washed dishes at "Happy Days Diner" in Boulder City for about a year and a half.
The third time I worked as a dishwasher was in 2007 - a week after I graduated with my Master's I was desperate for a job. I found one earning $7.25 per hour.
I am grateful to have the skill to earn money. I think everyone should work in a restaurant at some point in their lives. I'm grateful for a strong work ethic and willingness to get dirty.Stavros Anthony (R)

Flexibility to Focus: As a "part-time" job, the lieutenant governor can focus on important issues. I will focus on making substantial investments to improve mental health accessibility. This issue is very complex and has a direct impact on our economy.
Chief Cheerleader: Serving as chair of the Commission on Tourism and on the Economic Development Board - the lieutenant governor can champion issues on why people should visit Nevada and why Nevada is a good place to live and work. In that position, I would focus on serving those who serve - by ensuring that all Nevadans have access and support to health including mental health. Because, nothing else matters - unless people are able to live their best selves.
