I hate wearing makeup but I love fancy nail polish.
I am ambitious in my pursuit of being a thought leader but I welcome others to correct me when I'm wrong.
I will advocate for equity during the day and then drink and play poker all night.

By not joining this public health alliance, Gov. Lombardo is threatening our tourism industry by putting politics over public health & safety. The Nevada way is to be a free thinker—just like Republican Gov. Sandoval who broke with his party to expand Medicaid.

In my life I have received a half dozen or so jury summons -- I think it's typical for someone my age. Today I received a card saying I was a prospective federal juror and to scan a QR code to complete a questionnaire.
