The Nevada State Board of Regents is an elected executive agency of the Nevada state government, responsible for managing the state’s system of higher education.
Here are excerpts from candidates’ responses to the question: What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

- “Prioritize students by ensuring better graduation preparedness and a renewed focus on ethics throughout the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE).”
- “Refocus the budget to cut out wasteful spending so that every dollar goes where it can make the biggest impact for our students and communities.”
- “Attract and continue to retain top talent, both faculty and students, while rebuilding NSHE’s reputation with our institutions and community.”
Dakduk:
- “All institutions in Nevada must continue to provide high-quality education at an affordable price.”
