Nevada Chose Results Over Rhetoric—and It’s Working
Chairman Gruters
August 15, 2026

 

"For decades, Nevadans were told that Democrat rule was simply the way things needed to be. That accepting poor healthcare and education was just how the state operated, and real improvement wasn’t possible. But when Democrats put Nevadas through draconian COVID lockdowns and fueled an inflation crisis with reckless spending, the state’s economy was hit hard...It was a wake-up call that Nevada needed a different approach - one built on a stronger, more diverse economy that could withstand the next crisis. One that President Trump and Governor Joe Lombardo have delivered."

 

[...]

 

"Thanks to [President Trump's] leadership, Nevada is leading the nation in job growth, and wages are rising faster than in almost any other state. Governor Lombardo followed suit by cutting taxes, expanding the economy beyond the hospitality and tourism industry, eliminating needless regulations, and telling job creators that Nevada is open for business."

 

[...]

 

 "Republicans’ Working Families Tax Cuts created a bonus $6,000 deduction that wipes out tax on Social Security. Workers who put in extra hours can deduct up to $12,500 in overtime pay, and every child born to a Nevada family now gets a head start through a Trump Account with $1,000 tax free from the federal government."

 

[...]

 

"Just like President Trump, Governor Lombardo refocused Nevada on keeping communities safe. As President Trump was ending the flood of violent drug traffickers across the southern border, Lombardo delivered the strongest public-safety reforms Nevada has seen in a generation."

 

[...]

 

"Nevadans should also be proud that Governor Lombardo held the line by vetoing a record number of expensive and wasteful pieces of legislation to protect taxpayers’ bottom line."

 

"Empty-suit politicians like Aaron Ford and Susie Lee are exactly the type of Democrats who led Nevada into near disaster and will do so again if they gain power. Ford spent 420 days out of state and used your tax dollars to fund lavish trips to Cancun, Singapore, and Qatar."

 

[...]

 

"The other side is already lining up to bring back the same failed policies that ruined Nevada with billions in new spending, soft-on-crime policies, and a focus on insiders, not working families."

 

"But Nevadans have seen the difference between promises and results, and Republicans are going to keep delivering them."
