What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

· Economic opportunity: Nevada families should have a fair shot at a good-paying career, the ability to safely raise a family, and a dignified retirement. Southern Nevada has long had a boom-bust economic cycle that has left families vulnerable when recessions hit, and we need to do more to diversify our economy and provide good-paying, middle-class jobs that pay the bills. That means strengthening our apprenticeship programs and vocational training, committing to affordable higher education, and taking forward-thinking steps to bring clean energy, infrastructure, and technology investments to Nevada. · Education: I have spent the better part of 20 years working with Nevada students, teachers, administrators, and community partners to improve educational outcomes for vulnerable students as the leader of nonprofits like After-School All-Stars and Communities in Schools. I know firsthand how important a good education is to achieving the American dream, and I will fight to provide a strong education to every Nevada student. I will push for increased funding for early childhood education and expanded Pell Grants and college affordability programs. I'll also fight to strengthen apprenticeship programs and vocational training because people should be able to lead a middle-class life without a 4-year degree. · Health Care: For too long, politicians have been playing partisan games with people's health care. I do not support taking away health care from Americans to advance a partisan agenda. Instead, I will focus on taking commonsense steps to protect access to health coverage, while bringing down costs. We must focus on lowering prescription drug prices by advocating increased transparency in pharmaceutical pricing and allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. We need to find common ground to gets costs under control and expand access to health care. We also need to focus on expanding mental health services in Nevada.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about education, and I have a 25-year history of helping students succeed in our state. A good public education made all the difference in my life, and I believe that all students should leave school ready for the jobs of tomorrow. Today, too many students don't have that same opportunity, and it's why I've been fighting to fix our public schools. Education is the great equalizer, and we must ensure every student has a chance to succeed in school.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

My career has been about getting results, and this led me to work with partners across our state, regardless of what their party affiliation was. Fighting for our children just shouldn't be a partisan issue. When the Clark County School District cut funding for after-school programs, I became Founding Director of the Inner-City Games, which still exists as the After-School All-Stars and each day serves over 7,000 kids. In 2010, I became President of Communities In Schools of Nevada (CIS), taking on the dropout crisis in our state. Today, CIS serves over 67,000 students in 63 schools, achieving a graduation rate of 87% in those schools. My entire career, I've gotten results, and I plan on taking that same approach to Washington.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was delivering newspapers in Canton, Ohio. My brother, sisters and I delivered papers to much of our community. I held this job for about five years until I was old enough to earn extra cash by babysitting and lifeguarding. These jobs were instrumental in teaching me the value of responsibility, hard work and being fiscally responsible. As a young child, I had to deliver papers every single day, collect customer's weekly payments and make sure I paid the newspaper company on time. These were valuable lessons that helped me throughout my life.

Lee's campaign website stated the following:

Standing Up for Women

The Equal Pay Act was passed 52 years ago, yet women still earn only $.78 for each dollar that a man earns for an identical job. That pay gap is even larger for women of color. This is unacceptable, and I will fight every day for pay equity. When women thrive, families thrive.

Moreover, it is long past time that we address the pervasive issue of sexual misconduct and harassment. As we’ve seen, there are not sufficient safeguards in place for women in the workplace. Additionally, we need to fight for fair representation for women in leadership roles in all industries, so that we can truly change the culture of harassment that has gone unchallenged for far too long.

The gender pay gap and workplace harassment aren’t the only issue harming American women’s economic opportunities. Anti-choice ideologues in Washington are fighting to defund Planned Parenthood and write laws that limit women’s reproductive health decisions. I’ll stand up for a woman’s right to choose. I’ll also fight for paid family leave, contraceptive access, and fair workplace protections for the young women throughout this country who are just beginning to pursue their dreams.

Health Care

Health care is an issue that is deeply personal to me. After my father was laid off in his late 50s, my parents struggled after being denied health insurance due to pre-existing conditions. As they entered their senior years, my mother suffered a heart attack and they almost lost their house. We must never go back to the days where pre-existing conditions meant exorbitant premiums or denial of insurance coverage. In Congress, I will work for bipartisan solutions to improve the Affordable Care Act, and fight back against efforts to sabotage it. All Americans should have access to affordable, quality health care.

Instead of playing partisan games with people’s health care, we should work together to address the flaws in our health care system. In Nevada, we need to ensure we are able to attract and retain quality medical providers. I’ll be a strong advocate for decreasing health care costs. For example, Medicare should be able to negotiate prescription drug prices, and we must also take steps to stabilize the health care marketplace to prevent spiraling insurance costs.

Health care needs in 21st century America must also include expanding access to mental health treatment and long-term care. Too many Americans cannot afford or get access to treatment for mental illness. Too often, patients are only first able to access mental health treatment after they have entered our justice system. We must work to expand the availability and accessibility of preventive mental health services.

As our population ages, we must take a proactive approach to expand long-term care options that are cost-effective, dignified and support high-quality end of life services.

I would not be where I am today without the opportunities I had to get a good education. Because of this, I have spent my career working to build a better public education system for children throughout Nevada. I was the Founding Director of After-School All-Stars, a program that provides our most at-risk students with after-school enrichment activities and academic support. As President of Communities in Schools of Nevada for the past six years, I have worked to close achievement gaps, adequately fund education and keep kids on the road to graduation. Under my leadership, CIS has grown to serve 68,000 students in Nevada and dramatically increased graduation rates in the schools we serve.

Education must be a top national priority. We should invest in students and teachers from pre-kindergarten through college. In Congress, I will work to increase funding for early childhood education and programs that assist students living in poverty. I will also fight to ensure that every classroom in America has a great teacher with the resources he or she needs to succeed.

We also need to do more to make college more affordable and reduce the burden of student loans. We should protect and expand programs like the Pell Grant, and others that help students afford college. We tell our students that they need higher education, so we need to make sure that the cost of doing so does not crush them, as they begin their careers.

In addition to college affordability, we need to ensure that people can live a middle class life in this country without a 4-year degree. Congress should help fund training and apprenticeship programs, so that our workforce has the skills needed to compete in the 21st century. Due to our strong union apprenticeship programs, we are well-positioned to benefit from innovative training programs for the careers of the future. For decades, blue-collar workers helped form the backbone of the American middle class. We cannot leave them behind.

Immigration

The U.S. has a proud tradition of opening its doors to immigrants from across the world, who in turn have made immeasurable contributions to our country. We must continue to welcome immigrants, while at the same time reforming our broken immigration system by securing our borders and providing a path to citizenship for the immigrants who strengthen our communities. Congress also must act to protect TPS recipients, and the thousands of Nevada DREAMers who have lived, worked, and studied in the United States since they were children. I will continue to oppose the cruel practice of separating families at the border.

For too long, politicians in Washington have used the issue of immigration as a wedge to divide people and score political points, instead of doing the hard work of fixing the system. While I do not support the abolishment of ICE, which protects communities as a part of the Department of Homeland Security, I believe ICE, like any other federal agency, should be held to a high standard of accountability, and Congress should remain vigilant in its oversight of the federal government. In Congress, I will work to hold our government accountable, make comprehensive immigration reform a top priority, and won’t play partisan games with people’s lives.

Environment

After I graduated from college, my first job was as an environmental consultant, handling water management, air quality, and other environmental issues. I have also been a strong advocate for conservation here in Nevada, and have a deep appreciation for the value of Nevada’s natural resources and public lands.

In addition to being a strong voice for conservation, smart environmental protections, animal welfare, and environmental justice, I will be a leader in Congress when it comes to energy independence and combating climate change. I will continue to work to position Nevada as a leader in clean energy, and I will fight back against the damaging policies coming out of Washington that are threatening our environment.

Economic Opportunity

As one of eight kids in a working class family in Ohio’s rust belt, I grew up knowing the value of hard work. When I was young, my parents taught me that if I worked hard and did well in school, I would have a chance to live a better life than they had. And they were right. I started with my first job delivering papers at the age of eight. After high school, I was able to go to college with government aid and by working as many as four jobs at a time. I knew it was worth it, and after years of hard work, I graduated and had doors of opportunity open to me.

For too many Americans, my story is no longer possible. Instead of working for the middle class, our government works only for those who can afford to write the biggest checks to politicians in Washington. Congress needs to do more to focus on expanding economic opportunity for working families. In Congress, I will support real middle class tax relief, invest in our communities so that we can attract good-paying careers to Southern Nevada, and ensure that everyone enjoys the impact of economic growth, not just a privileged few.

Too many Americans are being left behind in today’s economy. The American Dream should be accessible to all. We need job training to equip our workforce for the careers of tomorrow, with or without a 4-year degree. We need to protect service industry employees who rely on tips in addition to their wages, especially here in Nevada. We need to ensure that working class families have health care and can save for retirement. I’ll also fight to ensure that no worker faces discrimination because of their sexual orientation, race, or disability. No American, regardless of their background, should lose out on the chance to live a dignified, secure life. Those are the values I grew up with, and they’re the values I’ll fight for in Congress.

National Security and Veterans

America needs a smart foreign policy that promotes our values and keeps us safe. With so many threats on the global stage, I will work hard to ensure that our military remains the strongest, most well-equipped force in the world. I will also make sure that our State Department and diplomats have the resources they need, because whether it’s in North Korea, Iran, or elsewhere around the globe, we need to keep all of our options on the table, both militarily and diplomatically. I’ll also fight for the security of key allies, including Israel, so that we can promote stability and peace around the globe.

We as a nation need to support our brave men and women in uniform while they serve, but we must not forget about them when they come home. My father was a veteran, and critical veterans’ services were incredibly important to our family, especially in his later years. In Congress, I will fight for a fully funded and functional Veterans Administration that provides returning veterans the care they need and deserve. This care, however, must be extended to mental health services and suicide prevention. Our country’s bravest and finest deserve access to this care if they should need it, and I will push to increase funding for veterans’ mental health programs. I will also be a tireless advocate for training and education programs that ensure that our veterans can smoothly enter the civilian workforce and work with the dignity they deserve.

On October 1, 2017, our community experienced, in the most horrifying way possible, the traumatic impact of gun violence in our country. For too long, Congress has shamefully failed to act, as tragedy after tragedy unfolds. Shootings are now the 3rd-leading cause of death for children in America, a truly shocking statistic. Some common sense gun safety measures are long overdue. First of all, I will pressure Nevada’s leaders to recognize the will of the people and implement the background check law that was passed by voters in 2016. I’ll also advocate for national background check legislation, and limiting the ability to modify legal firearms with devices like bump stocks that make them military-grade weapons capable of causing the carnage that we witnessed in our community. Congress should also take concrete steps to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers, felons, and individuals on the no fly list. We must work to keep guns out of the hands of those who mental health professionals deem to be a risk to themselves or others. Expanding Red Flag laws, as well as access to preventive mental health treatment, will help prevent high-risk individuals from committing acts of mass violence, as well as address the pandemic of gun suicides in this country. Furthermore, we need federal legislation that cracks down on illegal gun trafficking, including stiffer penalties for those who engage in illegal straw purchasing, when prohibited purchasers buy guns by funneling money to a different buyer.

Olympics | steph curry leads team usa to gold medal win over france, olympics | olympians are turning to onlyfans to fund dreams as they face a ‘broken’ finance system, athletes are selling images of their bodies to subscribers as they struggle to make ends meet..

PARIS (AP) — Dire financial straits are leading droves of Olympic athletes to sell images of their bodies to subscribers on OnlyFans — known for sexually explicit content — to sustain their dreams of gold at the Games. As they struggle to make ends meet, a spotlight is being cast on an Olympics funding system that watchdog groups condemn as “broken,” claiming most athletes “can barely pay their rent.”

The Olympics, the world’s biggest sporting stage , bring in billions of dollars in TV rights, ticket sales and sponsorship, but most athletes must fend for themselves financially.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) did not express concern about the situation. When asked by The Associated Press about athletes turning to OnlyFans, IOC spokesman Mark Adams said, “I would assume that athletes, like all citizens, are allowed to do what they can.”

Watching his sponsorships dry up and facing mounting costs, Jack Laugher was among the pantheon of Olympic athletes using the often-controversial platform to get to the Games — or simply survive.

After medaling at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Laugher, who scored another bronze in Paris last week for the U.K., said he was waiting for funding that never materialized. His account, costing $10 a month for a subscription, says he posts “SFW (safe for work) content in Speedos, briefs, boxers.” A recent post from the Olympics got more than 1,400 likes.

“For me, it’s been an absolute lifeline,” he said, before he was whisked away mid-interview by a British team official, underscoring the sensitivity of the issue.

The AP spoke to multiple current and former Olympians who painted a sobering portrait of what they had to do — and bare — to get to Paris.

Laugher, and other current and former Olympians — rower Robbie Manson (New Zealand), pole vaulter Alysha Newman (Canada), divers Timo Barthel (Germany), Diego Belleza Isaias (Mexico) and Matthew Mitcham (Australia), the first openly gay Olympic gold medalist — found a measure of financial stability in OnlyFans that other funding failed to provide.

Unable to secure traditional sponsorships, Mitcham began posting photos on OnlyFans, including semi-frontal nudes, earning triple the amount he received as a top athlete.

“That body is an amazing commodity that people want to pay to see. It’s a privilege to see a body that has six hours of work every day, six days a week put into it to make it Adonis-like,” said Mitcham, who describes himself as a “sex worker-lite.”

Manson, meanwhile, credited OnlyFans with boosting his athletic performance, saying his content included “thirst traps,” but nothing pornographic.

“My content is nude or implied nude. I keep it artistic, I have fun with it and try not to take myself too seriously. That’s something I’ve also tried to maintain in my approach to rowing … This approach has helped me achieve a personal best result at the Olympics,” he told the AP.

While some athletes say they don’t see what they’re doing as sex work, German diver Bartel put it frankly: “In sport, you wear nothing but a Speedo, so you’re close to being naked.”

Global Athlete, an organization created by athletes to address the power imbalance in sports, decried the dire state of Olympic financing.

“The entire funding model for Olympic sport is broken. The IOC generates now over US$1.7 billion per year and they refuse to pay athletes who attend the Olympics,” said Rob Koehler, Global Athlete’s director general.

He criticized the IOC for forcing athletes to sign away their image rights.

“The majority of athletes can barely pay their rent, yet the IOC, national Olympic committees and national federations that oversee the sport have employees making over six figures. They all are making money off the backs of athletes. In a way, it is akin to modern-day slavery,” Koehler said.

The AP spoke to multiple athletes who confirm they have had to pay their own way to the Olympics. While stars like Michael Phelps and Simone Biles can make millions, most athletes struggle to cover the cost of competing on the global stage.

These can include coaching, physical therapy and equipment, at a cost of thousands of dollars a month, as well as basic living expenses. Some delegations fund training, with the athletes covering medical bills and daily expenses. In other delegations, athletes pay for everything themselves.

Olympic athletes are generally given just one or two tickets for friends and family, obliging them to pay for additional tickets so their loved ones can attend their events.

“The IOC tries to convince these athletes that their lives will change after becoming an Olympian — there is nothing further from the truth. The fact is the majority of athletes are left in debt, face depression, and they are lost once finishing sport with no future employment pathway,” Koehler said.

Pole vaulter Alysha Newman has used the money she earned from OnlyFans to buy property and build up her savings.

“I never loved how amateur athletes can never make a lot of money,” she said. “This is where my entrepreneurial skills came in.”

Adams, the IOC spokesman, said at a press conference Friday he wasn’t aware of the trend and dismissed concern about the subject. The AP requested details from the IOC on how it helps athletes financially, and the IOC referred the AP to a swathe of links with scant detail, without elaborating or providing further comment. A statement from the IOC Executive Board said the IOC distributes 90% of its revenues to “the development of sport and athletes,” but didn’t go into detail.

OnlyFans has expressed solidarity for its athletes.

“OnlyFans is helping them to support training and living costs, and providing the tools for success on and off the field,” the platform said in a statement.

It highlights other “exceptionally talented OnlyFans athlete creators who were unable to compete in Paris this year,” including British divers Matthew Dixon, Daniel Goodfellow, and Matty Lee, along with British speed skater Elise Christie and Spanish fencer Yulen Pereira.

Athletes on OnlyFans say they have been forced to grapple with societal stigma. Some told the AP they had been asked if they were now porn stars, and one diver’s profile even clarified: “I’m a Team GB (Great Britain) diver, not a porn star.”

But others like Mitcham have been vocal about their experiences.

“Some people are judgy about sex work. People say it’s a shame or even that it is shameful,” Mitcham said. “But what I do is a very light version of sex work, like the low-fat version of mayonnaise … selling the sizzle rather than the steak.”

Mexican diver Diego Balleza Isaias, however, said the experience left him feeling dejected. Balleza Isaias said he joined OnlyFans in 2023 to get to the Olympics and support his family. After failing to qualify for Paris, he planned to close his account.

“I firmly believe that no athlete does this because they like it,” he said. “It’s always going to be because you need to.”

The financial incentive can be considerable. French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati shot to unexpected fame when his genitals snagged on the bar at a qualifying event. According to TMZ and other outlets, an adult site then offered him a six-figure sum to showcase his “talent” on its platform.

Mitcham suggested OnlyFans was superior to GoFundMe, as athletes aren’t just asking for money or “handouts.”

“With OnlyFans, athletes are actually providing a product or service, something of value for the money they’re receiving,” he explained, emphasizing the need to reframe thinking.

“It’s making athletes entrepreneurs.”
