Protecting Your Property Rights from Government Overreach

Your home. Your land. Your business. These aren't just assets on a balance sheet — they represent your life's work, your family's security, and your piece of the American Dream. And they're under threat.

The Assault on Property Rights

Across the country, property owners face a growing list of threats from their own government. Eminent domain abuse allows politicians to seize private land for projects that benefit developers, not communities. Zoning regulations dictate what you can and can't do with property you own. And property taxes keep climbing, forcing some Nevadans to choose between keeping their home and keeping the lights on.

The federal government controls roughly 85% of Nevada's land. Think about that — in a state defined by wide-open spaces and rugged independence, the government owns almost all of it. Across Nye County, Mineral County, Esmeralda County, and Lincoln County, ranchers and families live surrounded by millions of acres of BLM and federal land they can't use, can't buy, and can't control. That's not freedom. That's a landlord relationship with Washington.

What Property Rights Really Mean

Property rights aren't just about owning things. They're the foundation of a free society. When you own property, you have a stake in your community. You have security. You have something to build on and pass down to your children.

John Adams wrote that "property must be secured, or liberty cannot exist." He was right then, and he's right now. Without strong property rights, every other freedom is built on sand.

My Plan to Protect What's Yours

• Fight eminent domain abuse: Private property should only be taken for genuine public use — not to hand to another private party. Period.
• Return federal land to Nevada: The people of Nye, Mineral, Esmeralda, and Lincoln Counties know how to manage their land better than bureaucrats 2,500 miles away. It's time to transfer federal lands back to the state and its people.
• Oppose punishing property taxes: You shouldn't be taxed out of your own home. I'll fight any federal policy that drives property tax increases.
• Defend water rights: In the West, water is life. From Pahrump to Hawthorne to Yerington, I'll protect Nevada's water rights from federal overreach and out-of-state interests.

The Line in the Sand

Every time the government takes a little more control over your property, you lose a little more freedom. It happens slowly — a new regulation here, a tax increase there — until one day you realize you're paying rent on something you thought you owned.

I'm drawing a line. What's yours is yours. And I'll go to Congress to make sure it stays that way.
