Former President Donald Trump is backing Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo in the crowded GOP primary for Nevada governor.
"As Governor, Joe will fiercely Protect our under-siege Second Amendment, Oppose Sanctuary Cities, Support our Law Enforcement, Veto any Liberal Tax Increase, Protect Life, and Secure our Elections," Trump said in a statement."Joe Lombardo is the leader Nevada needs, and he has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Governor!"
"From his tough on crime policies to his unwavering support of law enforcement, I know that there has been no greater friend to veterans and police officers than President Trump," Lombardo said."I’m ready to get to work restoring law and order, fixing our education system, and building a strong economy in our great state as your next governor."
"It's clear Joe Lombardo's campaign is hitting the panic button," Sisolak for governor spokesperson Reeves Oyster said."After getting attacks from all sides on the airwaves, called out for hiding, ripped for having it both ways on immigration, and hours after a brutal editorial from the conservative Review-Journal on his lack of transparency and record of wasting taxpayer money, it's no surprise Lombardo is reaching out for a lifeline.
Other Nevada GOP gubernatorial candidates downplayed the significance of Trump's endorsement or didn't publicly address it Wednesday."Ton of respect for President Trump but it's obvious he gets advice from the wrong people sometimes," Heller said,"He also endorsed Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney. We know how that worked out. Joe Lombardo's a liberal and Nevada conservatives know it.
