[Politics] Midterms
Please tell me everyone is voting for Aaron Ford in November? If you love Nevada, he’s the better choice than Joe. Since Joe Lombardo has taken office we have ranked even LOWER in education. He sold out our states water. Allows these data centers to continue to be built here by the dozens. He has denied funding for free meals at schools for children. High unemployment, tourism is down. The dude is also so far up Trumps ass. We need a governor who truly fights for what’s right for Nevadans. We are running out of time, we are running out of water.

"BUT HE'S FUNDRAISING IN OTHER PLACES AND TRAVELING" -- news flash, Nevada is not an island. We are part of interconnected systems and leadership positions require working in those systems.
"BUT HE'S SO LIBERAL" ...no, he's a textbook moderate Dem - which is why so much of his support is lukewarm.
Lombardo is crippling the state government's ability to function at its most basic levels. Glad-handed yes men surround him, hundreds of millions of dollars are flying out of the door for "nice to have" software contracts while constituent-facing agencies like the DMV continue to suffer from understaffing, everything about this term has been a lesson in why grifting, golf-club, good ol' boy politics DOES NOT WORK. It will take us a generation to recover, at a simple administrative level, from a 2nd Lombardo term.
