Senator J.D. Vance to host rally in Reno on Tuesday

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – J.D. Vance is hitting the campaign trail after earning the nomination to serve as former President Donald Trump’s running mate.

Vance did not support Trump in 2016, labeling him as “unfit for office” and “dangerous.” But the two quickly built a relationship over the years and now share a spot on the 2024 ticket.

The VP nominee visits Nevada this week, after rallying in Ohio, Virginia and Minnesota. During his visits, he’s delivering a strong message about his stance on abortion, immigration and plans for the working class.

In a statement, Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald says,

“We are excited to welcome Senator and soon to be Vice President JD Vance to the Silver State! It was my honor to meet and speak with him at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee just a few days ago, and I look forward to showing him hospitality as he visits the entertainment capital of the world and The Biggest Little City.

Senator Vance is a strong and inspiring leader. As a tireless fighter against the status quo, proud Marine, and dedicated family man, Senator Vance will be a steadfast and historic partner on the Trump/Vance ticket. He is the embodiment of the American dream, having risen from poverty and a troubled home to be a decorated lawyer, best selling author, and successful entrepreneur.

Senator Vance knows what it takes to pull up your boot straps and get to work. With Vance on the ticket, President Trump is ensuring that his effort to Make America Great Again will continue for years to come. I’m thrilled to introduce Senator Vance to the hardworking and dedicated people of Nevada. The Trump/Vance ticket is the only ticket that will fight for the working class and not political elites.”

Vance will start in Henderson, Nevada on Tuesday before making his way to Reno.

The doors of the Reno-Sparks Convention Center open at 1:30 pm and his speech will start at 4:30. Tickets can be found here.

In a statement, Bruce Parks, the Chairman of the Washoe County GOP adds, “I have yet to speak with any Republican that is apprehensive about J.D. Vance as Vice-President. The overwhelming response has been very positive. I believe J.D. Vance will bring the same excitement that President Trump does. I am hoping that Mr. Vance will emphasize the importance of voter turn-out. I am sure the atmosphere at the rally will be absolutely electric! Unlike a Biden rally, there will be plenty of excitement.”

The 39-year-old, Ohio Senator will remain in Nevada Wednesday for another campaign rally in Glendale, which kicks off at 6 p.m.

UNLV uses student plaza to advocate for an urgent need in Nevada

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — UNLV turned its student union plaza into a push to save lives as Nevada faces a need for organ donors.

University police and Nevada Donor Network hosted “Dogs, Donuts and Donate Life,” using K9 meet-and-greets and free donuts to get students and staff to stop by, learn about donation, and sign up on the spot.

“Partnering with police agencies, our first responders, is important here during Nationals April’s Donate Life Month because we can spread awareness about organ, eye, and tissue donation together as a trusted community source and also answer any myths or misconceptions, questions people might have about the donation process here in our community,” said Samantha Savalli of Nevada Donor Network.
