A brief statement about your platform
What makes you the most qualified candidate for this position?
I am running to be your first ever lawfully elected constitutional People’s Militia Governor for the Battleborn Silver State of Nevada in 2022. A state emergency is present due to the continuing assault and subversion of our DEMOCRACY in Carson City (there are no more checks & balances; legislative regular order or process & bi-partisanship are no longer respected … a one party rule only in Carson City). The state constitution Article-12, however, permits the governor of Nevada to invoke “state militia” measures to deal with prevailing emergency situation such as the continuing assaults on our democracy in Carson City. Free, fair, and secure election is the bedrock of our democracy and constitutional form of government!
I am asking for your Vote, respectfully…
For starters, since there are more than 14 of us running for governor on the Republican ballot, so please bring a $10-bill, when you cast your ballot: The my “Hamilton” name is listed on the $10-bill …lol
I am a solid patriot conservative Republican who once ran for governor against the liberal Republican governor Brian Sandoval. I finished second in that primary. I, therefore, have the experience of running a statewide campaign in the Battleborn Silver State of Nevada. Republican voters in Nevada know me.
In this election cycle, I am the ONLY president Trump’s RNC 2016 National Delegate amongst the 14 Republicans running. I promise you that I will carry the Trump Torch for America First Agenda all the way to 2024!
In 2015/2015 I was the president of CCM-Nevada (Coalition for a Conservative Majority). We were instrumental in flipping the US Senate into a Republican majority nationwide and thus we ended the status of Harry Reid, as the Senate Majority Leader!
As background information, I am an Investor and an Manufacturing Executive Engineer, who is also a Supply chain (supply side) economist. I have two college degrees …
Over my career, I have built many car & truck assembly plants, as well as several transmission or engine factories. I did the training of thousands of work force in tooling and manufacturing processes.
Now, let me talk about my campaign for governor: I think DEMOCRACY is dead in the Nevada government. We no longer a constitutional state government. The socialist Democrats have been subverting our democracy and constitutional form of government in Carson City for years. This is the state of emergency for calling out the state militia, as prescribed in the Nevada state constitution Article 12 (and backed by legislation as enshrined in the NRS-chapter 412)
The socialist Democrats in Nevada believe in an autocratic form of government where there are no more checks & balances and a regular order of bi-partisanship in running the state is gone. The Democrats have actually rigged our election system by passing legislations called Assembly Bill AB-4 and AB-21 - universal mail-in ballot - and using unsecured ballot drop-off boxes. Consequently, Nevada is now a one-party soviet socialist style state. An emergency exists for a state militia governor.

Record of Service:
Nevada Secretary of State, Nevada Assembly; United States Congress; United States Senate.

Education:
Graduated Carson High, Class of 1978; BA in Business, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, graduated Cum Laude, 1985; Distinguished USC Alumni Award, 2012

Briefly describe the core duties of the position you are running for.
To serve as Chief Executive of the State of Nevada; to implement policies that will enhance the freedom and prosperity of Nevada’s citizens; to veto legislation that will be detrimental to the lives of Nevada’s citizens.

A brief statement about your platform:
My platform centers of the pillars of faith, family, and freedom. Under my administration, there will be no mask or vaccine mandates. There will be no lockdowns. We must, and will, reform the state’s education system because it is currently failing our children. Parents will have a stronger voice in education and political indoctrination will not be tolerated. In athletics, men will compete against men and women against women. We must, and will, ensure that our streets and neighborhoods are safe by rejecting sanctuary city policies and by enforcing immigration law. I will not tolerate restrictions on law abiding people’s right to keep and bear arms. We will have fair and honest elections. Under my administration, we will get our economy moving again and businesses will once again thrive. I will end the Commerce Tax and reject any proposals to raise taxes or implement new ones. I am pro-life and proud of it.

What makes you the most qualified candidate for this position?
My experience and devotion to conservative principles makes me the most qualified candidate for this position. I am the only proven conservative in this race, having helped write, alongside President Donald Trump, the America First Act. As a United States Senator, I voted for every Constitutional judge nominee that came before me and I passed more than a hundred pieces of legislation. My dedication to the men and women of law enforcement was rewarded with an endorsement by the Nevada Police Union because they know I will never waver in my commitment to making our streets and neighborhoods safer. I have championed and advocated for health care policies that provide the most options and the highest quality of care for our citizens. As Governor, I will fight to end the “public option” in our health care system. I will not stand by while Nevada continues to be on the top of every “bad” list in America, especially when it comes to our children. Our schools are failing our kids and we need to restore parents’ voices and provide choice in education. When I was Secretary of State, Nevada had free, fair, and reliable elections. I will restore integrity to the voting process. The people of Nevada were crushed by the Covid-related policies of Governor Sisolak. As Nevada’s next Governor, I will usher in a new era of freedom of prosperity for Nevada.

Joseph Lombardo

 

Record of service:
I served in the United States Army in the Armor Battalion. After serving in the Army, I continued my service in the Nevada National Guard. After the military, I began my career in 1988 with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Throughout my 26 years on the police force, I served as a sergeant, lieutenant, captain, deputy chief, and assistant sheriff. In 2014, I was elected as Clark County Sheriff, and in 2018, I was reelected.

Education:
Masters of Science, Crisis Management - UNLV, 2006
Bachelors of Science, Engineering - UNLV, 1985

Briefly describe the core duties of the position you are running for.
I'm running to be the next Governor of Nevada. The Governor of Nevada is tasked to serve as the state's chief executive officer. In functioning as our state's CEO, the governor oversees Nevada's executive branch and our legislative operations and process.
A brief statement about your platform:
As governor, I'm ready to restore law & order, fix our education system, and build a strong, diversified economy on Day One. To start, I'll work to repeal soft-on-crime policies that handcuff police and make our communities less safe. Within education, I'll bring accountability and school choice to our school system. Furthermore, I'll honor the voices of parents and ensure that our education system starts to work for every child and every family. For our economy, I'll expand workforce development, remove burdensome business regulations, reform occupational licensing requirements, and institute a "No New Taxes" policy – and that's just what I'd call a good start.
For far too long, Nevadans have suffered from a failing education system, soft-on-crime policies, and a slow economic recovery from COVID. Our state is moving in the wrong direction, but I'm prepared to get our state back on track. I'm running for governor so Nevadans across the state can have safer communities, better schools, and more economic opportunities.

What makes you the most qualified candidate for this position?
My tenure as Clark County Sheriff and as the head of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has given me the leadership and experience that Nevadans can trust to get our state back on track. More than just that, my military service and my 26 years of service as a police officer have given me the guts to make tough decisions and to stand up for what's right.
After the COVID crisis, it was clear to me that our state needs a leader who can make common-sense policy decisions in the best interest of Nevadans. As sheriff, I make hundreds of critical decisions to keep Clark County safe every day. As governor, I'm ready to keep all of Nevada safe – and I'll never wait for the Governor of California to tell me what to do.
As the sheriff of Nevada's most populous county, I've overseen a $1.3 billion dollar budget, 6,000 employees, and the police department's efforts to protect thousands of visitors and millions of Clark County residents each day. Similarly, the governor oversees billions of dollars in the state's budget and thousands of employees and is tasked with leading and protecting our state. My time as sheriff of Clark County has perfectly prepared me for this role, and I'm ready to protect and serve our state as governor.

Record of Service:
I am a businessman and have never run for political office. At the age of 15, I served in a Christian militia in my home country of Lebanon to protect my family, my freedoms, and my faith.

Education:
I received my undergraduate degree from Stanford University and a MBA from the University of Chicago.
Briefly describe the core duties of the position you are running for.
The Governor serves as our state’s CEO, ensuring state government works for you, and most importantly, protects the rights of all Nevadans as enshrined in our Constitution.

A brief statement about your platform
I am running for governor because the politicians in our state have failed on their core objective; serving Nevadans. As a businessman, I will make state government work for you. That starts by auditing every department, fixing agencies like the DMV an DETR, and giving you the best service available. I’ll fight for parents’ rights in educating their children through school choice, I’ll work to rebuild and expand our economy, and I will always protect your freedoms and liberties. I’ll tackle our water, housing, and health care issues head on. We will cut red tape for businesses, get rid of the onerous licensing requirements, and keep taxes low. And last but certainly not least, I will back our blue to ensure our communities are safe for you and your family. My administration will be all about serving you in the best way possible and making our state a model for the nation. Finally, you’ll have a governor who will have your back.

What makes you the most qualified candidate for this position?
I am the best qualified candidate for governor because of my life story and experience of being an executive and CEO my entire life. I have helped start over 180 companies, served on several boards, audit committees, and worked with a lot of budgets. These companies have helped find cures for complex medical issues like cancer and congestive heart failure.
I come from Lebanon, where at the age of 15, I trained and fought in a civil war to protect my family, my community, my freedoms, and my faith. When my parents found out, they sent me to America to live with my aunt. I quickly embraced America by going to school, playing football, running track, and even played in a rock n roll cover band. I then became an American citizen which is still one of the proudest moments of my life.
My entire life story of fighting for my freedoms in Lebanon to starting companies here in the United States have led me to be the best qualified candidate to serve as your next governor.
Many candidates running will promise you the world and will speak in talking points, but in order to take back our state and turn it around, we need someone who has actually done the things they talk about – I have. Results, not just lip service.
Politicians have gotten us to this point, it’s time for a businessman to fix our state. As a political outsider, I am beholden to no one but you. That is how I will tackle every issue if you give me the honor of serving as your next Governor.

I was very close to joining the military back in 2013 however I needed to help my family maintain their farmland here in Pahrump. I would say my leadership acumen throughout my life has brought me to the decision to run for office of Governor of the state of Nevada.

A brief statement about your platform
There are many things we are currently facing in the state of Nevada, I'm sure you know. I want to work toward better healthcare, veteran affairs, education and what we teach and budget as a whole. agriculture, water resources, innovation, economic development, homelessness as a whole, and much more. Obviously it takes much more than one person to make all this come to fruition but I am confident we can make things happen with the help of the people of Nevada. In the Core duties of the office of Governor I want to implement and maintain transparency with the people. Solidify emergency action plans, protect the rights of the people. And act as a liaison.

What makes you the most qualified candidate for this position
We need entrepreneurs, in leadership as Governor, and President of The United States. The state must be ran as a business, and so for our country. People in this position should have the ability to run a successful business, with profitability, with a proven track record. I am an entrepreneur, not a corrupt career politician.
Most of the corrupt career politicians are working for themselves, NOT for the people. They work closely with special interests groups, use the people for the vote, promise the world, once elected in office, they forgot what they said, and promised. Then you are stuck with the person for 4 years.
Our Great State of Nevada, and our country is heading in the wrong direction. For over a year, I am on the ground listening, hearing peoples pains, needs, and wants in leadership. People cannot afford to live with the gas, rent, food, interest rates, the inflation is through the roof. Our homeless is increasing by the day, they need to choose to pay rent, or be out in the street. We do not have rent control ordinances. Our landlords can raise the rent within the expiration of the year lease to market. We need to build affordable housing for us Nevadans, and Americans. Our Nevadans are out bid with the homes, because of large Real Estate Corporations buying up homes by the hundreds, and influx population outbidding our Nevadan Americans.
Our school districts are the worst in the nation, I would love to bring it up to a number one stance. We will be self-sufficient as a State, where we will have manufacturing, industries, jobs and growth.
Our seniors, veterans will be taken care of. Encouraging more first responders on the force. Make sure we adhere to our constitution, amendments in whole, not in part.
