Bio and Platform: Home Means Nevada-
Ethan McNamara was raised in Reno and has never wanted to leave. He likes to say that in Reno, you get to experience all four seasons and are always a 45 minute drive away from a casino or a world class mountain. Reno truly is the “Biggest Little City”- he often finds himself lost on the road, yet could walk into any store and find someone he knows. This sense of community was a large part of how he was raised and who he is today. Since arriving for his first day of classes at UNR, his deep connection and pride for the area has only grown. He has gotten to see the positive impact this can have on people from all different places, and he hopes everyone who attends the University of Nevada gets to experience this feeling.
Senator Aglubat and Senator McNamara strive to create a home for every student. Home is found in the clubs and organizations where shared passions unite people. It is felt in a campus culture that honors diversity, ensuring every identity is welcomed and celebrated. It is built through traditions that connect the past with the present, inviting everyone to be part of something greater than themselves.

No matter where your journey begins or the path you choose, the University of Nevada should offer a place to belong, a place to grow and a place to call home. That is why the Aglubat-McNamara campaign is built on the foundation of Home Means Nevada. At its heart, this is about creating a home for everyone—a home defined by tradition, wellness, community, connection and the promise of shared purpose.
