Nevada Democratic Victory, a group working to elect Democratic candidates in Nevada, filed an ethics complaint against Sheriff Joe Lombardo and his campaign, Lombardo for Governor, with the Nevada Chair of Ethics Commission Wednesday morning.
The complaint focuses on the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) donating ride-alongs in the department’s helicopter to an anti-abortion “crisis pregnancy center,” Women’s Resource Medical Centers of Southern Nevada (WRMCSN), at the religious nonprofit’s annual fundraising gala this spring and the exclusive support of WRMCSN in the LVMPD resource pamphlet.
“In a blatant violation of Nevada’s ethics laws, Sheriff Lombardo has improperly misused official government resources and did so to support a community organization whose political leanings on the issue of abortion align with the Sheriff’s views and beliefs,” Brynn Palmen, the executive director of Nevada Democratic Victory, wrote in the complaint. “It is also clear that this was done for Sheriff Lombardo’s personal interest during his candidacy for Governor of Nevada.
At the fundraiser, the ride-along went to a bidder for $1,000, and according to the complaint an LVMPD spokesperson said all requests and donations for aerial ride-alongs must be approved by the sheriff’s office, but there is no evidence that Lombardo reimbursed LVMPD’s budget for the cost.
Associated Press – September 22, 2022
A judge ordered a candidate who lost the Nevada governor primary election to pay $88,000 in sanctions for a lawsuit challenging the results.
Reno attorney Joey Gilbert came in second to GOP governor nominee Joe Lombardo by 26,000 votes in the June primary and argued that he actually won by over 50,000 votes because the June primary results were “mathematically impossible.”
Gilbert’s and Lombardo’s campaigns didn’t immediately return emails Thursday seeking comment on the judge’s ruling.
Gilbert, who was present outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, had baselessly claimed that the governor’s primary results were faulty. Throughout his campaign, Gilbert had said that courts were “captured by a wealthy group of elites” and that elections were “broken.”
Months after his loss, he has continued to falsely claim that he is the rightful winner of the primary. His team paid for a statewide recount, and filed a lawsuit, where a judge said last month there was “no competent evidence” that he received more votes than Lombardo.
The Nevada Independent, – September 21, 2022
Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo is amping up his gubernatorial campaign’s messaging on education, leaning into the playbook of Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin in his effort to become “the education governor.”
During a campaign event last week alongside Youngkin, Lombardo spoke about making education a priority, highlighting his recently-released education plan and tying the success of education in Nevada to economic diversification and public safety.
“It’s real simple, right? You make it a priority,” Lombardo told the crowd of more than 200 people at Liberty Baptist Church in Las Vegas. “Anything you make a priority, you can address the problem. That’s crisis management. Make it a priority, figure out ways to address it, and then assess it.”
He also highlighted low rankings for Nevada’s education system, citing a review that placed the state 50th out of 51 for education in a ranking that included all states and Washington D.C.
“We haven’t had it as a priority in our state, and now we’re starting to feel the suffering,” he said.
Nevada Curretn, – September 9, 2022
In post-Roe v. Wade America, states and the federal government are left to navigate the legal ramifications of the Supreme Court overturning a 50-year legal precedent. As reproductive health centers, medical professionals, and legislatures that support abortion rights cope with the uncertainty, Republicans and motivated anti-abortion rights activists are pushing for a national ban.
Nevada U.S. Rep. Susie Lee, fellow Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak and experts from UNLV Boyd School of Law outlined the ramifications a national ban would have in Nevada during a Thursday roundtable discussion.
More than 60% of Americans believe that abortion should be legal in some circumstances. Nevadans voted to protect abortion rights in 1990.
The panel Thursday warned a national ban would trump state laws and stressed the importance of voting in this year’s midterm elections.
“This would ultimately overturn the will of the people of Nevada,” Lee said.
The Nevada Independent, – September 7, 2022
While Republican gubernatorial nominee Joe Lombardo has shied away from using abortion as a campaigning message, his campaign expense reports show he has been quietly supporting anti-abortion groups.
In the past, Lombardo did not respond to a Nevada Independent questionnaire on abortion sent to major candidates in late May and hasn’t publicly outlined what his beliefs are or what his plan would be, instead using a blanket statement that abortion in Nevada is already protected.
Earlier this year, Lombardo’s campaign sponsored an event for Nevada Right To Life, an anti-abortion group, and made a $1,500 payment to the group for special event fees.
Lombardo also paid more than $1,400 to Women’s Resource Medical Centers Of Southern Nevada (WRMCSN) related to special events. Lombardo’s campaign also paid another crisis pregnancy center — Living Grace Homes – about $300 for event fees, according to his second quarter report.
The name and mission of the centers can be misleading. According to findings by the American Medical Association Journal of Ethics, “crisis pregnancy centers” are oftentimes run by organizations that seek to intercept women who might be considering terminating their pregnancy and persuade them that adoption or parenting is a better option.
Sheriff Joe Lombardo, endorsed by Trump, wins Nevada Republican primary for governor
Sisolak, a Democrat, shrugged off a challenge from former Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins — a longshot candidate who raised less than $10,000 in campaign funding, according to the most recent filings.
Meanwhile, Lombardo, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, had to face members of his own party campaigning even further to the right in the state’s top primaries. He beat Joey Gilbert, his closest competitor, whom he was leading in polling.
In the primary, Republicans campaigned on the Democratic governor’s response to the pandemic over the last couple of years. Sisolak issued executive orders to temporarily close businesses, then imposed occupancy caps and mask mandates as infection rates improved.

The 2022 Nevada gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 2022, to elect the governor of Nevada. Incumbent Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak lost re-election to a second term, being defeated by Republican Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo.
Sisolak was the first Democrat to seek re-election to Nevada's governorship since Bob Miller in 1994, and was subsequently the only incumbent governor in the United States to lose re-election in 2022. Decision Desk HQ called the race for Lombardo on November 11.[1]
Significantly, Lombardo's win marked the first time in the state's history that anyone had won the governorship without winning either Clark or Washoe counties, home to a combined 89% of the state's population. This was largely due to Lombardo's stronger performance in Clark, his home county; Sisolak's previous opponent, Adam Laxalt, received only 40.8% of the vote there, while Lombardo received 45.4%.
Political analysts have attributed Sisolak's defeat to his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic;[2] lockdowns during the pandemic proved unpopular in Nevada, which has a tourism-driven economy and a reputation for libertarian political leanings.[3]
Amid a slate of failed gubernatorial pickup attempts, this was the only governorship Republicans flipped in the 2022 elections, as well as the only state governorship to flip to the party that did not carry that state in the 2020 presidential election. This was also the first time since Pat Quinn's defeat in the 2014 Illinois gubernatorial election that an incumbent Democratic governor lost re-election in any state.
