Meet Erica
Erica’s candidacy is built on her work as a civil rights attorney, centering the voices of impacted people and speaking truth to power.
Whether she was advocating for consumer protections and housing justice in rural Nevada as a legal aid attorney, defending protesters in court as a trial deputy public defender, drafting the 2022 Executive Order protecting and expanding abortion access following the Dobbs decision as Deputy General Counsel, or going toe to toe as a lobbyist with our Republican Governor as he worked to unwind criminal justice reforms this legislative session, Erica is ready to fight for her community.
Key Issues
Erica knows that policy must be created by and for the people it impacts. That is why she is fighting for:
- Reproductive Freedom for All
- Housing as a Human Right
- Criminal Justice Reform and Evidence Based Public Safety
- Union Protections
- Environmental Justice

Drafting Governor Sisolak’s executive order protecting abortion rights was the honor of my career. Thank you @Nicole4Nevada for continuing this fight. No one should be held criminally liable for seeking reproductive care. https://t.co/5hyMoXeVvq

This week, all 17 of Nevada’s sheriffs, the highest ranking law enforcement officers in the State, claimed it is “only a misdemeanor to possess up to 100 grams of fentanyl.” Let’s set the record straight. #nvleg https://t.co/fSSJiZ8M3z

Increasing penalties for possession of fentanyl is yet another iteration of the drug war’s ineffective and punitive strategies. To prevent overdose deaths and protect our communities we must invest in public health solutions to mitigate the harms of illicit fentanyl. https://t.co/zGdWH0axal

Proud to speak about what’s at stake in 2024. Republicans have shown where they stand on abortion- from fulfilling their promise to overturn Roe or voting against every single pro-choice piece of legislation this session. Democrats will and must defend the right to choose. https://t.co/91DYZ4dEGQ

Yesterday, the Supreme Court announced it will decide whether millions of patients will have access to mifepristone, the safe and commonly used pill for abortion. Don’t be fooled, this decision will have a devastating impact on abortion in Nevada. A 🔗 pic.twitter.com/wkOtJXBjmA
