A centerpiece of his tenure and re-election campaign: created the Lieutenant Governor's Task Force to Protect Women's Sports in January 2025, aimed at barring transgender female athletes from women's and girls' competition at high-school and collegiate levels; credits the task force with the NIAA's reversal of its 2014 policy. In August 2026 he sued the Nevada Commission on Ethics seeking reversal of a fine over his use of state resources for the task force.

“he said the group is aimed at preventing 'awards and titles taken away' by transgender female athletes and blocking their participation in women's sports. Earlier this month, he sued the Nevada Commission on Ethics over their ruling that he inappropriately used state resources for the task force.”
