Republican Joe Lombardo unseats Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D), in major win for GOP. Democrats dominated state politics in recent years, but Lombardo, the Clark County sheriff, focused on crime to edge out Sisolak, who had been seeking a second term.
During the campaign, Lombardo, the sheriff of Clark County — which includes Las Vegas — criticized Sisolak’s handling of crime and the coronavirus pandemic and tapped into voters’ economic struggles in a state where inflation has remained especially high. He said he would be a “pro-life governor” but sought to play down the issue and said he would follow “the vote of the people,” as Sisolak accused him of changing positions out of political convenience.
Lombardo also called to diversify Nevada’s tourism-dependent economy and criticized its public education system.
