Founded Tennessee’s free market state-focused think tank (at 24 years old) that continues to be one of the most innovative, influential and successful think tanks in America. Under Drew’s leadership, the organization ended the state’s sales tax on groceries, massively expanded school choice through vouchers and charter schools, loosened the state’s burdensome licensing and regulatory rules on entrepreneurs, and overturned Tennessee’s income tax on interest and dividend income – making the state truly income tax-free.

As Treasurer, Drew will strengthen partnerships with schools, community organizations, financial institutions, and senior-serving groups to provide Nevadans with straightforward, practical guidance. That means helping students understand budgeting, credit scores, loans, saving, and investing before costly mistakes follow them for years. It also means making trusted scam-prevention information easier for seniors and their families to find before money is lost.

As Treasurer, Drew will modernize Nevada’s system so the state proactively identifies rightful owners and automatically returns eligible property whenever identity and ownership can be reliably verified. More complicated claims will still require safeguards, but ordinary Nevadans should not face unnecessary forms, repeated document requests, or avoidable delays just to recover their own money.

Every time Nevada borrows money to build a road, repair a school, upgrade a water system, or complete a public safety project, the state’s financial standing affects how much taxpayers ultimately pay. Strong financial management can help Nevada borrow at lower interest rates, while weak planning and unnecessary risk make important projects more expensive.

Drew will serve as a watchdog for taxpayers, rooting out waste, reducing hidden fees, and making sure government spends money responsibly. By closely reviewing state accounts, vendor contracts, and fee structures, Drew will push for leaner operations and greater accountability — so government lives within its means instead of quietly passing costs on to Nevada families.

Drew will focus on tools Nevadans can actually use—from recognizing impersonation and investment scams to comparing loan terms, avoiding unnecessary fees, building credit, and creating a realistic path out of debt. Education is one of the first lines of defense against fraud, including scams that specifically target older Nevadans.

The Millennium Scholarship has been allowed to drift toward insolvency without a long-term plan to protect it. Drew will fight to preserve these opportunities for future Nevada students—without raising taxes. He will also work to ensure Nevada’s education programs recognize that success does not always require a traditional four-year degree. Scholarships should support students pursuing practical, in-demand credentials through community colleges, technical programs, apprenticeships, and qualified trade schools.

Drew will also prioritize veterans and military families. Service members frequently move between duty stations, deployments, and states, making it easier for utility deposits, refunds, final paychecks, bank balances, and other assets to become disconnected from a current address. Nevada should work with veterans’ organizations and available government records to locate these owners, streamline verification, and automatically disburse eligible funds whenever possible.

That talent shortage also makes it harder to recruit and retain employers. Companies considering Nevada need more than favorable taxes and available land—they need confidence that they can hire skilled workers locally.

Executive public-record methodology
An executive record will attach only from official orders, directives, vetoes, signed actions, legal filings, or direct official statements that explicitly attribute the action to this person. Agency outcomes and events during an administration are not inferred as personal actions.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
Nevada's official campaign-finance portal is protected by a security interstitial. No amount attaches until one stable filer identity, compatible office and cycle, and exact current report are captured. Missing values are not zero.
Claims that did not clear the publication standard remain visibly excluded.
Reason: NO_STABLE_ELIGIBLE_PUBLIC_RECORD_IDENTITY_ATTACHED
Names and candidate-stated prior service alone never attach another person's records. This does not establish that the candidate has never held public office.
Every profile claim points back to retained source evidence.
