Nevada Wins PAC News

Our own Phil Becker appeared on Las Vegas Channel 8 Politics now.

This is interesting. Remember my story about comparing the GOP data center data to Nevada State and Douglas County data and how their data was completely out of whack? Jay Valentine, of Fractal voter list fame, is now stating the same thing. Woe is us if we believe in the GOP data center for electioneering.

"Looking at the past margins in the races alone isn’t the right way to judge. For one thing, it doesn’t consider the turnout differential between off-year and presidential elections.

People often ask public officials about government waste, fraud and abuse – salient problems for sure. They’re often big problems, albeit difficult to ferret out, prove and remedy. The bigger and nearly universal problems resemble them, but are more subtle and difficult to show and remedy.

The United States Supreme Court ruled June 29 that colleges and universities must stop using race-based affirmative action (AA) in higher education admissions. The 228-page opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts in two related cases that began nine years ago, finally brought some Constitutional sense to the matter after decades of intellectual fumbling and dissembling by previous courts.

Nohra: GOED vs. State Senator: A Showdown Over Tax Reductions in Nevada

Editor's Note: (Why the state legislature matters)


(Guy Nohra) – Shortly after taking office earlier this year, Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo noted that “economic development matters” and declared that “Nevada is back open for business” after being neglected by the Sisolak administration for four years.

Democrats vs. Parents

By THE EDITORS

Editor's Note: (Parents should raise their children, not the government)

Last week, Republicans in Congress passed the Parents Bill of Rights, 213–208. Critics will dismiss it as a messaging bill, but the message it sends about Democrats’ priorities is unsettling in the extreme.

Team Member Kevin Larson has been appointed Leadership Assistant to the Republican State Senate Caucus. Kevin currently works for Nevada Wins PAC as Field Operations Director. He will serve in this position throughout the 2023 Legislative session at which time he will return to his current position with the PAC.

Team Member Nikolas Powers has been selected to be a summer intern for Congressman Tom McClintock, 5th CD California. Nikolas has worked as a paid intern with the PAC, analyzing voter issue statistics. He is currently on full ride scholarship with Southern Methodist University. He will return to the PAC once his summer internship in Washington D.C. with the Congressman is complete.

Please take a moment to recognize both of these young Republicans for their amazing achievements.

The 2022 Midterm elections are now behind us.  Understandably, Conservatives, including Nevada Conservatives, were disappointed in the Red Wave that did not happen.  To assess why our Data Group has started a post-mortem and preliminarily reached some general conclusions.

Unfortunately, some of what caused the Non-Red Wave were Republican self-imposed headwinds.

There seems to be a malaise infecting more than a few Republicans nationally and in Nevada.  Quoting from the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, January 3, 2023: "More than a few Republicans, alas, have a history of preferring combative sound bites to actual governing…."

As the nation has eyes on Nevada’s key Senate race, between incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto (D) and Republican nominee Adam Laxalt there are some nuances at play with longer implications for the Republican brand. Nevada is not just a battleground, it is a testing ground. Its demographics and dynamics are the reason Nevada is propelled to compete for first in the nation voting, while its electoral contribution is slim and its congressional influence is a mere four house members, next to our neighboring California’s 52

Nevada Could Be Senate Republicans’ Ace In The Hole

2022 ELECTION

On the surface, Nevada seems to validate the otherwise somewhat unsuccessful hypothesis of the 2002 book “The Emerging Democratic Majority.” Authors John Judis and Ruy Teixeira predicted that Nevada would become a light-blue state as Democrats held onto their unionized, working-class base and demographic change brought new Democratic voters into the fold.

We have about four weeks left until early voting kicks off in Nevada, and we are hard at work preparing for the final stretch. For over a year now, the Nevada Wins PAC has been polling independents throughout the state to get a better understanding of the issues that are pertinent to that important demographic.

Nevada’s Governor’s race between Democrat incumbent Steve Sisolak and Republican challenger, sitting Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, is hotly competitive — and expensive. Ad Impact reports this to be the second most expensive gubernatorial general in the nation.

The States Project, formerly known as Future Now Fund, will spend $60 million in the coming weeks to help Democrats win state legislative races, according to a New York Times report published today. One of the five battlegrounds the States Project will send their money to is Nevada.

The latest Emerson College Polling/8 News Now/The Hill survey of voters finds 42% of voters support Adam Laxalt for US Senate, while 41% support incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto

If either Adam Laxalt or Joe Lombardo wins in a squeaker, he’ll owe his victory to a law championed by Democrats.

Pension plans require employers and employees to contribute to investment accounts that pay employees an income when they retire. Defined benefit plans, used by the Nevada Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS), promise retirement incomes determined by employee’s contributions and assumptions about what investment returns will be.

Can We Do It?

Sixty-four days! That’s all the time that conservatives have left of this election cycle. Right now, we have the electoral advantage of a deeply unpopular president, rampant inflation, and soaring crime. Considering this, conservatives in Nevada should win decisively in November, right?

Last night, Democrat Mary Peltola was elected to be Alaska’s lone member of the House of Representatives, beating Republican nominee and former governor Sarah Palin — even though in the first round of Alaska’s ranked-choice-voting system, Peltola finished fourth, with just 10 percent of the votes compared to Palin’s first-place finish of 27 percent.

Nevada’s governor and U.S. Senate seats could easily go Republican or Democrat this November.

In order to really affect public policy, change bad legislation or enact good legisla-tion, a candidate and his or her team must be in the majority not just in govern-
ment.

We, who believe in limited government, fiscal sanity, and sovereignty of each individual, have a decision to make before November 2022 elections.

Why does the Nevada Wins PAC focus on only a few state legislative races? Because the legislature is where the action is, the place that counts on almost every issue in our state. The Legislature has a controlling voice on every important issue to voters. And which party controls the Legislature determines the outcomes of issues.

In March, the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) released a memo indicating it was looking to make "meaningful gains" in the Democratic-controlled states of Nevada, Maine, Oregon, and Washington. Polls now indicate that it could happen, as Republicans are leading or in the margin of error in those states on the state legislative generic ballots. The polls were conducted by Cygnal.

Today, during a signing ceremony at the State Capitol, Governor Mike Parson signed five pieces of legislation into law, including House Bill (HB) 1878, which modifies Missouri’s election laws to strengthen election processes and voter confidence.

The Supreme Court decided on June 30 to hear an important new case that Republicans hope will re-empower state legislatures to make rules for redistricting and governing congressional and presidential elections.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has published a new communications strategy for conservative candidates and organizations for the 2022 election cycle detailing issues that cross party lines and bridge racial barriers.

The attack ads already are airing between incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto and former state Attorney General Adam Laxalt.
