Daniele Monroe-Moreno

Economy
Monroe-Moreno argues that despite new industrial projects, the city is "going in the wrong direction" on jobs, pointing to an unemployment rate she says remains too high. She wants local residents — rather than out-of-state workers she says fill many of the new positions — hired first, and proposes partnerships with colleges and labor unions to build apprenticeship pipelines into the warehouses and data centers moving into the city. She has also called for reviewing city spending to find efficiencies rather than assuming growth alone will fix the budget.

Health
On housing-related hardship, she has pushed to protect seniors, veterans, and working families on fixed incomes from being priced out, and as a legislator she sponsored a bill directing $30 million to the Nevada Housing Division for permanent supportive housing aimed at residents facing homelessness and related health needs.

Security
Monroe-Moreno favors a prevention-oriented approach to public safety, emphasizing youth programs and diversion efforts alongside traditional policing, and wants to rebuild trust so residents again see officers as "part of the neighborhood." She has said this community-policing focus matters more, not less, as the city keeps adding new residents and development.

Immigration
She has criticized aggressive federal immigration enforcement in the region, saying it risks "ripping families apart," while stating she supports deporting people convicted of violent crimes. She has specifically criticized enforcement carried out by masked or unidentifiable officers, arguing it undermines residents' civil rights.

Infrastructure
Monroe-Moreno wants tighter limits on corporate ownership of single-family homes, arguing it squeezes out first-time buyers, and she favors a rent-stabilization approach over strict caps, saying she wants residents to budget predictably without driving out smaller landlords. She also touts her role in preserving and developing Ice Age Park and wants to build out amenities near assets like the VA hospital to make the city more of a destination rather than a pass-through community.

Governance
As an immediate step if elected, she has proposed an "audit of city government" to find gaps and redundancies in service delivery, arguing this transparency effort should come before major new spending decisions. She has also pointed to her state budgetary experience and legislative relationships as an advantage in securing state resources for the city.
