Gloria Allred, Governor Sandoval. Lisa Krasner

My proudest moment of the 2017 Nevada Legislature was working side by side with civil rights attorney Gloria Allred on AB145, and changing the law for Child Victims of Sexual Abuse- I invited every member of the Legislature to sign on to my Bill. AB145 passed unanimously in the Assembly & Senate with every Republican & Democrat voting YES, and Governor Sandoval signed it into law.
