She’s a champion for policies that will make Nevada a safer community and a prosperous place to live, including pro-conservation policies, gun violence prevention and access to affordable housing. Her voice is critical in Nevada’s state assembly, as a Latina who stands up for Nevada’s working families and who supports issues that will strengthen her district, the Latino community and all Nevadans .”
Statement from Latino Victory Fund President & CEO Sindy M. Benavides on Cinthia Moore, Nevada State Assembly District 11:
“Cinthia supports policies that will make Nevada a stronger state. For two decades, she’s led the charge in key climate change policies and environmental protections, which are critical for all Nevadans’ economic and health well-being. Clean air, clean energy and water conservation are more critical than ever as Nevada faces the effects of climate change, and Cinthia knows what it’s like to lead the charge in this fight. She’s also a strong advocate for access to affordable housing and small businesses—two key policies that impact Latinos. Latino Victory Fund congratulates Cinthia on her primary election win.”
