Joe Lombardo

governor

  • Joe Lombardo received our recommendation because he is the strongest candidate in either party to strengthen conservative and biblical values. In addition, it became evident after reviewing the links below there is really only one viable candidate in the Republican party and both the viable candidates in the Democrat party are significantly diverging from those same conservative/biblical values.

  • Why is there only one viable candidate in the Republican primary? The Reno Gazette Journal interviewed two candidates, Lombardo and Zilberberg by phone. The other candidates either did not respond to requests to participate, did not follow through with their interview appointment or did not meet the RGJ’s minimum request for inclusion by having a campaign website. Questionnaires answered by opponents indicated incomplete understanding of major issues i.e. men in women’s sports. Very low polling, little to no public name recognition and no real executive experience for all except Lombardo. There is one goal in this race, beat the progressive candidate. Governor Lombardo has shown strength in pushing back against a progressive onslaught in the last legislative session with many critical vetoes and is by far the strongest hope in the general election in November.
