Clark County sheriff launches GOP run for Nevada governor
Fox News
The sheriff of Nevada’s most populous and best- known county on Monday formally launched a Republican campaign for governor in the hopes of challenging Democratic incumbent Gov. Steve Sisolak in next year’s election.
"Single-party rule and a governor that only listens to the voices of special interests has led to higher taxes, new regulations, and an erosion of our freedoms. That’s why today, I’m announcing my run for governor," Lombardo emphasized as he pointed to Sisolak and the Democratic-controlled state legislature. Lombardo, a military veteran, joined the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) as an officer in 1988 and was promoted through the ranks. After 26 years on the force, he was elected as Clark County sheriff in 2014 and reelected four years later. He oversees roughly 5,000 officers with LVMPD, which is the state’s largest police force.More Related News
