NV-GOV: Nevada attorney general (D) launches bid to unseat Lombardo
Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford (D) is launching a bid to unseat Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) next year as Democrats look to flip the governor’s mansion in the pivotal swing state.
“I’m running for Governor because Nevadans need a fighter in their corner,” Ford said in a statement released Monday. “I will work to lower the crushing cost of housing and prescription drugs, strengthen our public schools, and ensure every community in Nevada is safe.”
Ford touted his background as a former math teacher who also served as majority leader of the state Senate. He argued that under the GOP governor, “Nevadans are suffering in an economy that is rigged against those trying their hardest to stay afloat” and hit him over issues such as the state’s high unemployment rate and homelessness.
Ford is not the only Democrat interested in taking on Lombardo; Washoe County Commissioner Alexis Hill is also eyeing a run on the Democratic side.
