Opposes the Trump administration's effort to obtain Nevada voters' partial driver's license and Social Security numbers, framing it as a privacy matter: registered Nevadans did not consent to their personal information being shared with outside groups such as the federal government (his office is being sued over the refusal). On voter rolls generally, he says Nevada does a 'pretty good job' and asks federal agencies for evidence behind claims of thousands of noncitizen registrants, while remaining open to 'good faith collaboration.'

“He called it a "data privacy issue" and said Nevadans who are registered to vote did not agree to give their personal information to outside groups such as the federal government.”

Backs creating a business court in Nevada (he supported AJR8 in the 2025 legislative session), arguing it will attract business incorporations, drive higher-paying jobs, strengthen the economy, and expand capital opportunities for small businesses - part of his broader record of modernizing the Secretary of State's business-filings systems to make it 'easier than ever to do business in Nevada.'

“he backed AJR8 and said it would "drive higher-paying jobs, build a stronger sustainable economy, and build capital opportunities for small business."”

Central campaign theme: as Nevada's chief elections officer he defends the state's election system as safe, secure and accessible, rejects unsupported fraud claims ('no evidence of widespread fraud'), proposes making mail ballots easier to tabulate (letting voters insert mail ballots into ballot-reading machines) and keeping post-Election-Day acceptance for military voters, and opposes a Trump-administration federal voter list as 'illegal' and an infringement on state-run elections. On the 2026 voter-ID ballot question he declined to say how he would vote, noting his office is already implementing it.

“"We do not have a problem with voter fraud. It is not present in Nevada," he said.”

His own campaign framing: the record to re-elect on is modernizing the state's elections and business-filing systems under three principles - modernization, innovation, and transparency - including a statewide voter registration system he says increases security, ballot-status tracking the public can view in real time, and expanded ballot access credited with a 34% increase in tribal voting turnout in 2024.

“As Secretary, he is focused on three major principles: modernization, innovation, and transparency.”
