Collapsing tourism. Skyrocketing prices. Cyberattacks on our state.
AND WHAT'S JOE DOING? NOT A DAMN THING.
While Nevada faces real problems, like skyrocketing housing costs, teacher shortages, and attacks on reproductive freedom, Governor Joe Lombardo isn't doing anything at all.
​
He’s not leading or solving key issues facing Nevadans. He’s not even pretending to care. Instead, Lombardo’s playing MAGA’s errand boy, more interested in cozying up to Trumpworld than doing the actual job Nevadans elected him to do.
​
​Craven to the core, Lombardo’s strategy is clear: do as little as possible, avoid tough decisions, and hope nobody notices—as long as it gets him re-elected. But we do notice. We see the vetoes. We see the inaction. And we see right through him.
Nevada deserves a governor who shows up, not one who hides behind political games and empty headlines.
So where has our absentee governor been? The only times we’ve been able to find him, he’s downplaying the economic strife of Nevada families, cozying up to his big dollar donors, and turning a blind eye to our sky-high unemployment rate.
Trump’s Federal Funding Freeze? Lombardo Just Shrugs.
When the Trump administration froze critical federal grants and loans—money Nevada depends on—Joe Lombardo didn’t sound the alarm. He didn’t fight back. He didn’t even ask Trump to reconsider. Instead, he quietly floated cutting state services and hoped no one would notice. If you’re waiting for him to stand up for Nevada, bring a chair.
While Nevada’s Attorney General fights back against Trump’s harmful policies, Lombardo calls the efforts “unfortunate.” Seriously. That’s his response to standing up for reproductive rights, clean air, and fair wages. He’s not just refusing to lead – he’s criticizing the people who are leading.
In 2026, let’s elect a governor who will actually do something for hardworking Nevadans, not just look out for Trump and his rich buddies.
Nevadans Face Higher Prices, But Lombardo Refuses to Challenge Trump
Trump’s tariffs are jacking up the price of building homes and schools in Nevada—bad news in a state already reeling from a housing crisis. So what did Governor Lombardo do? He brushed it off, saying 'Tariffs are the great unknown,' and promised to 'adjust on the fly.' Translation: he’s got no plan and no spine.
