Alexis Hill

Democratic

Alexis Hill is the chair of the Washoe County Commission and a Democratic candidate for Nevada governor in 2026. Her background includes more than a decade in municipal public service, and her campaign emphasizes tax reform, housing affordability, schools, infrastructure, and public services.

Positions on Key Issues

Economy

high

Hill says Nevada should modernize its tax system, end tax giveaways to large corporations and billionaires, and invest in workforce development and local businesses instead of relying on subsidies for major companies. She also proposes property-tax and road-funding reforms to raise sustainable revenue for public services.

Education

high

Hill says Nevada should close its education funding gap and reach the national average, which she says would require about $2.5 billion in additional annual spending over the next decade. She supports universal pre-K, free school breakfast and lunch, higher teacher pay, and expanded workforce and career training.

Healthcare

high

Hill supports expanding access to care by increasing Medicaid reimbursement rates, creating a mental health division within the Nevada Department of Human Services, and funding the state public option. Her campaign also says Nevada should make state health plans available more broadly and invest in long-term mental-health-focused care.

Immigration

high

Hill says immigration enforcement should remain a federal responsibility, opposes costly state-run detention centers, and does not support using the Nevada National Guard to indiscriminately round up immigrants. She says Nevada should partner with federal agencies, protect due process, and support comprehensive reform with pathways to citizenship.

Foreign Policy

low

No public position found on foreign policy in the campaign materials reviewed.

Election Policy

high

Hill says Nevada should strengthen voter protections, protect voter information, speed up election-result reporting, and ensure registered nonpartisans have fair access to primary elections.

Local Issues

high

Hill’s campaign focuses on housing affordability, roads, homelessness, childcare, public safety, parks, and infrastructure. She says state and local governments should fund these services sustainably rather than relying on temporary fixes or corporate subsidies.

Abortion & Reproductive Health

high

Hill says she is a staunch supporter of the right to choose and has said she was endorsed by Planned Parenthood Action in prior runs for office. Her campaign frames abortion access as part of a broader privacy and personal-freedom platform.

Climate/Energy

high

Hill says protecting Nevada’s air, water, land, and climate is fundamental to quality of life, and she points to local sustainability planning as part of her record. Her campaign links environmental protection to long-term planning, conservation, and public investment.

Tech & AI

high

Hill says Nevada should modernize its digital infrastructure and establish a statewide AI governance framework for state agencies. Her campaign also proposes pausing new corporate tax abatements for data centers and regulating their energy use.

Firearms & Second Amendment

high

Hill says public safety should be sustainably funded for police, firefighters, and other first responders. Her campaign also ties safety to infrastructure, homelessness response, and community investment rather than focusing only on criminal-justice enforcement.

Civil Rights & Equality

high

Hill says she supports LGBTQ+ rights, Native American sovereignty, privacy rights, workers’ rights, and fair wages. She also supports policies to make housing, childcare, healthcare, and voting more accessible and affordable.
