President Trump endorses Nevada Governor Lombardo for re-election
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — President Donald Trump endorsed Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo for re-election on Thursday.
The president shared on the social app Truth Social a lengthy post endorsing Lombardo, which the Governor shared on his X (formerly Twitter) page.
This marks the second time Trump has endorsed Lombardo for the position after endorsing him in 2022 when then-Clark County Sheriff Lombardo was vying to be the Republican nominee against former Governor Steve Sisolak.
“Joe Lombardo is the strong and very popular Governor of Nevada, a very special place to me in that we had a BIG Presidential Election Win just one year ago, November 5, 2024!” the post began.
President Trump went on to list Lombardo’s accomplishments, noting he was the former Clark County Sheriff as well as a U.S. Army Veteran.
“Joe strongly supports our incredible Law Enforcement, Military, Veterans, and knows the Wisdom and Courage it takes to Promote LAW AND ORDER,” Trump wrote.
“As Governor, he is fighting tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Ensure NO TAX ON TIPS, Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Provide Access to Affordable Health Care, Champion School Choice, Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, and Defend our always under seige Second Amendment,” Trump continued.
Lombardo launched his re-election bid in September at a campaign kick-off event in Las Vegas.
“This is where my journey began. Right here,” Lombardo said of Rancho High School, where the event was held. “There was no phantom of me attending high school that I would eventually run for governor. Never in the back of my mind and the front of my mind.”
“Looking ahead to 2026, the stakes couldn’t be higher or the risk any larger,” Lombardo said at the event. “If democrats take back power in Carson City, you know what happens. Higher taxes, fewer jobs, boys in girls’ sports, and more soft-on-crime laws.”
“Joe Lombardo is SMART, STRONG, AND TOUGH, and he has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election–HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!” Trump’s post concluded.
In his own social media post, Lombardo thanked Trump for the endorsement and his leadership.
“I look forward to continuing my work to advance our conservative agenda and keep Nevada red!” Lombardo wrote.
This endorsement comes days after Democrats won several key races in other states, including Zohran Mamdani, who won the mayoral election in New York City.
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A community event, the Veterans Donation Drive, took place on Saturday, benefiting the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), Nevada Chapter.
The event aims to gather donations and support for veterans who have served the nation and now face physical challenges.
Lori DeClue and Stephanie Bishop are with the Eckhoff (Reality) Group.
Bishop says, “So we are here doing a donation drive for PVA.”
The drive is made possible through a partnership with Northwest Career and Technical Academy, which has joined forces with organizers to maximize community involvement and support.
There were about 30 to 40 volunteers who were students who helped with the distribution of clothing, food, kitchenware, non-perishable items, and furniture.
Residents are encouraged to participate and contribute to this noble cause, helping to make a difference in the lives of paralyzed veterans.
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The Nevada Army National Guard hosted their groundbreaking ceremony to begin construction on the Nevada Army National Guard qualification training range.
When completed, the range will become the only department of the army approved qualification range in the state of Nevada.
The project has been in the works for years, and those who have had a hand in it say this has been a long time coming.
“I’ve been working on it for about eight years myself. And there’s a couple of the other individuals that are standing around in the background over here that have been working on it even longer. So, it’s been about 10, 12 years that we’ve been trying to get this thing together,” says Major Jacob Sanford, Deputy G3 with the NV Army National Guard.
The new range will allow Nevada soldiers to meet military marksmanship standards without having to leave the state
Since 2019, the Nevada army guard has sent more than 1,000 soldiers to neighboring states annually for marksmanship qualifying.
Which is an expensive task and keeping this in state will create economic benefits for Nevada.
“So we’re very much looking forward to what we’re gonna be able to do out here and be able to train about 12,000 soldiers a year out here. Economically, it’s gonna be a great boon for the state. We’re gonna be able to embolden the Mineral County and the Hawthorne community out here,” says Sanford.
“They’re working together, training together. It’s only going to just benefit our community of Hawthorne, our service community, our National Guard, but I would say our entire country,” says Nevada Senator Jacky Rosen, who NV Army National Guard personnel say had a major role in getting the funding necessary for this range.
Units spend up to four training days annually and. The four days equated to more than 15 percent of the unit’s allocated training days and significantly impacted on the soldiers’ ability to train on other tasks.
The new $20 million Hawthorne Army Depot Record Fire Range facility will include 16 lanes for rifle training, 15 for pistol, four machine gun lanes (up to M240) and seven buildings. Four full-time U.S. Army, federal employees will maintain operations at the range.
“It’s just one of those things that Nevadans have known, but the fact that other people are figuring it out is like, hey, we can do that out there, let’s do that,” says Congressman Mark Amodei.
