We need leaders who will govern by truth, understanding there is a spiritual battle in America. A battle between good and evil, between faith and darkness, between those who stand for our values and those who seek to destroy them. I'm ready to fight for what's right, to stand firm in my convictions, and to bring unwavering principle to Washington.
The platform for a strong Nevada
Inflation does not happen by accident. Its two primary drivers are unchecked government spending and corporate greed, both enabled by Congressional legislation that has prioritized special interests over working Americans. We will confront both with equal resolve. Families deserve a dollar that holds its value and an economy that works for them, not against them.
Expected outcomes include:
The federal government must get its own house in order. That means balancing the budget, ending the corrupt and wasteful spending that has become standard practice across both parties, and stopping the reckless printing of money that devalues the dollar and quietly taxes every American, especially for those on fixed incomes and Social Security who can least afford it.
We will fight for:
Expected outcomes include:
The United States has a proud tradition of humanitarian goodness rooted in our values of God, family, community, and the American spirit. That tradition must be honored, but it is not at the expense of our own citizens. Foreign economic subsidies must be scaled back significantly and refocused exclusively on genuine humanitarian needs.
Expected outcomes include:
America's healthcare system has long been built around treating illness rather than preventing it. We will change that. By investing in robust public health education, through targeted public service announcements and a dedicated school-based health curriculum, we can empower Americans to make informed decisions about their health before chronic disease takes hold.
Expected outcomes include:
The Affordable Care Act was written with too much deference to private insurers, hospital conglomerates, and pharmaceutical companies. We will fight to reform it so that it does what it was always supposed to do: put patients first. Healthcare policy must serve the people it covers, not the industries that profit from their illness.
Expected outcomes include:
Too many Americans in rural communities lack access to the care they need and deserve. We will address the physician shortage head-on by targeting financial subsidies and incentive programs designed to recruit and retain physicians (including specialists) in underserved rural areas. No American should be denied quality care because of their zip code.
Expected outcomes include:
Medical errors and breakdowns in communication within our healthcare system are among the leading causes of death in America. This is unacceptable. We will implement system-wide reforms to improve care coordination, reduce medical negligence, and hold institutions accountable for the safety of their patients. We must do better.
Expected outcomes include:
A thriving community begins with safety. Families deserve to live without fear, and business owners deserve to operate without the financial and emotional burden of criminal activity. Public safety is not a partisan issue, it is the foundation upon which everything else is built. We will make it a top priority at every level of government.
Expected outcomes include:
Our law enforcement officers deserve the tools, training, and resources necessary to do their jobs effectively and with the highest standards of professionalism. We will champion robust funding for officer training, continuing education, and community policing initiatives that build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
Expected outcomes include:
Lasting public safety requires addressing the root causes of crime and instability. We will fund a comprehensive social program for Nevada's most vulnerable citizens — prioritizing Nevadans first. Critically, funding decisions and program management will be controlled locally, with state oversight, not dictated by Washington bureaucrats.
The federal government must return jurisdiction to the communities closest to the problem. Local leaders understand local needs. Reducing federal overreach in this area will eliminate wasteful bureaucratic spending and ensure every dollar goes directly toward helping people — not funding administrative overhead hundreds of miles away.
We will fight for:
Expected outcomes include:
Washington does not know your child or your community. Federal education dollars must flow back to states and local districts where they can be spent with real accountability and an understanding of what students actually need.
Expected outcomes include:
Research presented to Congress as far back as 1962 shows what works — and what doesn't. Our school system has ignored science while corporate interests pushed expensive technology that is actively hurting learning. The current generation is the first in American history to score lower on NAEP assessments than their parents. The reasons are biological and well understood. We will build education policy around how children actually learn, not what is most profitable to sell them.
Expected outcomes include:
40% of students who pursue college never finish; they get debt, not a degree. Meanwhile, for every five tradespeople who retire, only two replace them. We will restore vocational education with the investment it deserves and demand meaningful career counseling beginning early in a student's education, so every student graduates with a real plan.
Expected outcomes include:
The evidence is unambiguous: simply increasing education funding does not improve learning outcomes or cognitive competency. What matters is how dollars are spent and what policies guide them. We will hold the system accountable to results, not budgets. We will demand that every policy decision be driven by what the data shows actually works for students, not what benefits administrators, contractors, or political interests.
Expected outcomes include:
The ability of everyday Americans to purchase a home has collapsed (down 42% from pandemic-era highs). The cause is clear: affordability has reached a breaking point. Mortgage payments, property taxes, and insurance now consume up to 37% of a homeowner's gross income, while wages have failed to keep pace with 23% inflation over the past five years. This is not sustainable, and it demands immediate legislative action.
We will fight for:
Expected outcomes include:
The federal government controls the vast majority of Nevada's land — a resource that belongs to the people of this state. We will fight to return a meaningful portion of those federal lands to the State of Nevada, opening the door to responsible mining leases that generate revenue dedicated entirely to a Nevada Homeownership Fund.
This fund will be designed to serve Nevada residents first — prioritizing first-time homebuyers who want to put down roots in the communities they call home.
Expected outcomes include:
Congressional District 2 · Northern Nevada · Gardnerville
Fred Simon is a proven leader. A physician, educator, and entrepreneur who calls Douglas County home. He has spent over forty years working across this country in classrooms, operating rooms, and boardrooms understanding what works, what fails, and what it takes to fix it. He has built businesses, trained the next generation, and cared for patients and families when it mattered most. That experience has given him a clear understanding of the challenges facing working Americans and the kind of leadership needed to solve them. Now he is running for Congress to bring real-world solutions, accountability, and results-driven leadership to Washington, and to fight for the people of Northern Nevada.
Experience That Crosses Every Issue
The credential behind each position he takes.
Dr. Simon has built and operated businesses across four decades — automobiles, hospitality, real estate, retail. He has met payrolls, navigated recessions, and managed multi-million dollar institutional budgets. His commitment to fiscal discipline comes from having lived the consequences of its absence.
Two decades as a real estate investor and hands-on experience in land development gives Dr. Simon a working knowledge of what drives housing costs, what blocks supply, and what the federal government's control of Nevada's land means for families trying to afford a home here.
More than twenty years of teaching — college students, medical students, military medics, Naval Surgical residents — gave Dr. Simon a front-row view of how Americans learn and where the system fails them. He is a close student of the cognitive neuroscience of learning and a sharp critic of the corporate interests that have shaped curriculum at the expense of outcomes.
Having practiced across rural communities and major metropolitan hospitals in fourteen states, Dr. Simon stands as the most experienced healthcare voice in this race. He has served as Medical Director of Trauma, volunteered in COVID ICUs, and spent years practicing among underprivileged populations where the system's failures are most visible and most consequential.
Emergency rooms are where public safety failures arrive in their rawest form — addiction, violence, untreated mental illness. Dr. Simon has worked directly alongside law enforcement, first responders, and local agencies across the communities he served, and understands that lasting safety is built on both a well-supported police force and the social infrastructure that keeps people from crisis in the first place.
Why He's Running
Washington sends people to solve problems they have never experienced. Fred Simon has spent his life doing the opposite — close to the patient, the student, the community. He is running because Nevada's challenges require someone with the breadth to understand how every issue connects, and the independence to act on what he actually knows.
