Account:
Cinthia Moore and her family moved to Las Vegas for a better life.
When he was a young child, Moore’s family moved from Jalisco, Mexico, to California in search of the American dream. But with the high cost of life, the family quickly realized that they would not be able to achieve their goals in California, eventually settled in Las Vegas, where her uncles worked in construction.
However, they fought for the first few years in Vegas.
“We were tenants. We moved every time our lease was up. I went to four different elementary schools, “Moore, 42, reasoned.
The life of the family is transformed when they were able to save enough money to buy a house. The success of her family seemed particularly remarkable, because only a few years later the hit of the residential crisis in 2008 and Moore remembers that her postal code is one of the most affected areas in the country.
Many of her neighbors lost their homes of foreclosures. Now, she said, the bigger part of the people in her area are tenants.
“This is part of what motivates me to run,” Moore said. “Many times when we write a policy [it] is aimed at homeowners and not so much for tenants. I want to be this person in the room that says “Well, what about tenants?”
Moore, who has previously managed a group for environmental intercession, also works as a real estate agent.
She owns a home next to her parents’ house, which they have purchased years ago and where they still live-where she raises her 7-year-old son as a single mother. Living in the same neighborhood for more than 30 years, Moore said he believes he was the right candidate for his community, made up of first -generation immigrants like her, who came to the country in pursuit of the American dream.
“I grew up here. I have deep roots and I am the best voice that can climb to Carson City and I can really share what the problems are. “
On the issues
Education:
Moore said he did not believe in the “public dollars that would fund private schools” when asked about her position for scholarships for opportunities-a school selection program that provides scholarships based on the needs of private schools.
She also worries about how transportation for students receiving these scholarships and attending schools that are not close to home.
Moore is also in favor of restoring universal free lunches in K-12 schools. This is an idea that governor Joe Lombardo vetoed last year.
“I grew up, I was one of these children … I want to make sure the children are eating and they can learn,” she said.
Healthcare
Moore said opening more educational paths and residence places can be key to improving Nevada’s health system that ranks close to the bottom of the United States
“If people make their residence here in Nevada, they are more likely to stay here, “Moore said.
She also said it was in favor of reviving the Senator Hope Act Fabian Donna
Dwelling
Moore says one of the key problems of Nevada’s homes is that people’s income remained at a level as rents continue to increase. At this point, Moore is about the return of a bill for 2023, which would apply rental restrictions on the elderly or those who live with social security income, but was a veto of Lombardo.
Moore said he was still “looking” in the process of generalized expulsion of the state, which requires tenants to make the first legal submission in a expulsion case, not the landlord.
Weapon reform
Moore said he was supporting a ban on certain sales of semi -automatic rifles and rifles of people more than 21 years old. As a mother, she said she was constantly afraid that her son could be injured in school shooting.
Environment
Moore, as a former head of the Nevada Justice Coalition, has done a lot of political work around the environment, keeping the SB427’s last session, a heat protection bill. She also worked on the AB312, which would set up an environmental advice board, but failed to become a law.
She said she hoped to work on such justice bills in the environment of this session.
