Nevada leaders react to the death of Jimmy Carter

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) -Nevada Democratic leaders praised former President Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100.

Carter was not popular with Nevada voters, losing the 1976 presidential vote in Nevada to Gerald Ford 50 percent to 46 percent. Carter lost Nevada in 1980 to Ronald Reagan, a friend of Nevada Sen. Paul Laxalt, 63 percent to 37 percent.

Carter’s son, Jack, challenged Republican U.S. Sen. John Ensign in the 2006 election and Carter campaigned for his son in Nevada.

Nevada’s Democratic leaders praised Carter for his integrity amd his vision.

U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto

“President Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to serving the American people and working for a more peaceful future. He was a shining example of public service, and his love of his country, his family, and his fellow Americans will always be remembered. Paul and I extend our deepest condolences to the Carter family during this difficult time.”

U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen

“President Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to serving others and improving the lives of Americans everywhere. He inspired generations to make the world a better place, and we’re all better off because of his service to our nation. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.”

Rep. Susie Lee

President Jimmy Carter — a Nobel Peace Prize winner — was a champion for working families, environmental conservation, human rights, & education. He was a man of faith who continued to serve those in need long after he left office.

Pres. Carter’s legacy will never be forgotten.

The Nevada Democratic Party

We mourn the loss of President Jimmy Carter, a champion of peace and humanitarianism. His work both in office and beyond has left an indelible mark on the world. Our hearts go out to his loved ones and all who admired his commitment to justice and service. Rest in Peace, President Carter.

Mansion on the Nevada Side of Lake Tahoe Swiftly Sells for Million

A waterfront mansion on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe just sold for $46 million, less than three weeks after hitting the market.

The speedy deal marks a departure from the typical U.S. market.

Nationwide, homes took a median 78 days to land a buyer in January, five more than the same time last year and the 22nd straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis, according to data from Realtor.com.

The lavish log cabin-like residence, in Incline Village, listed on Jan. 24 for $47.5 million. It sold 20 days later, on Feb. 13, listing records show.

The more than 7,000-square-foot residence was built in 2014, and has double-height living spaces, walls of windows, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and plenty of rustic exposed stone and wood, listing images show.

There’s also a gym, a wet bar, a spa, a wine room, an office, two separate game rooms, seven bedrooms and dramatic Lake Tahoe views. Outside, there’s a private sandy beach, multiple decks, a heated driveway and two exterior fireplaces, according to listing information.
