Joe Lombardo handed data center companies $200 million of Nevadans' tax dollars — and never bothered to check if we got anything in return. Meanwhile, he's pocketed nearly $2 million in campaign cash from those same companies, the ones driving your costs through the roof.

Held a town hall with Nevadans to hear how rising utility bills are squeezing their budgets. My plan: block NV Energy’s demand charge hike, make data centers pay for their own power, and expand affordable clean energy. Nevadans come first, not greedy utilities and certainly not massive data centers.
Throughout his tenure as Governor, Joe Lombardo has dismissed and disrespected Nevadans’ concerns. It’s because of him that Nevadans are living through this Lombardo-Trump affordability crisis and as Governor, making things cost less will be my top priority.
As electricity bills rise, I’m holding data centers accountable while Joe Lombardo is “wholeheartedly in support” of them. Nevadans deserve a Governor who is focused on lowering costs — not padding data centers’ pockets.
Flock cameras raise serious concerns about our right to privacy and until we pass protections into law, I don’t support them. I’ve spent my time as AG protecting Nevadans from Wall Street, Big Pharma, and Big Tech corporations and as Governor, I’ll continue to put working Nevadans first.
Joe Lombardo said Nevadans need to "feel a little pain" from Trump's tariffs — I disagree. You deserve a governor whose priority is putting money back in your pockets, not one prioritizing taking care of their billionaire friends.
As a child, I grew up watching my parents struggle to make ends meet. Costs and affordability are not a talking point for me; they were a part of my story. That's why affordability is at the core of everything I'll fight for when I am your governor.
While Nevadans get crushed by rising costs, Joe Lombardo’s priority is protecting Trump and his billionaire friends — the same ones bankrolling his campaign and driving your prices up.
Joe Lombardo has taken $2 million from data center donors and in return has given them more than $200 million in tax breaks. When I’m Governor, we’re going to pause tax breaks until data centers prove their worth.
Lombardo’s handed data centers $200 million in tax breaks with zero accountability. That stops when we elect @aarondfordnv.bsky.social into office.
I’ve consistently held big corporations accountable throughout my career and data centers will be no different. As Governor, I’ll impose the strictest regulations on data centers in the country to protect Nevada and our communities.
Days after Lombardo received $1 MILLION from data center interests, he said this:
Lombardo says he’s “wholeheartedly in support of data centers” - I’m going to be the Governor who is wholeheartedly supportive of Nevadans. NO tax breaks until data centers prove they've delivered, NO rising energy bills, REAL union jobs, & REAL accountability to the communities they build in.
Joe Lombardo says we need to take care of Trump’s billionaire friends. I say we need to take care of Nevada workers. Thank you so much to @nvaflcio.bsky.social for having me today. We need a Governor who will take on this affordability crisis— not one who says there’s “nothing he can do.”
The RGA just got caught hiding donors and paying fines to settle campaign finance violations in New York. That's the same group writing checks for Joe Lombardo. Dark money, dirty tactics — Lombardo's paying the price for who's funding him.
Nevadans are being squeezed under the Lombardo-Trump economy. If you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to afford to live in Nevada. That’s why, on my first day as Governor, I’ll declare an affordability state of emergency to lower your costs.
Lombardo defers to feds on affordability, inflation issues: ‘I can’t control that’ • Nevada Current
Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo says there’s nothing he can do about affordability and warns claims to the contrary are “bullshit.” The governor, a Republican, faces a reelection challenge in November from D...

The Trump Administration is using $10 million in federal funding as a bargaining chip to make us blindly hand over data on Nevadans. This is a blatant overreach, and I will never stand idly by as Nevadans' privacy is threatened.
The Lombardo-Trump economy is crushing working families, and too many Nevadans can’t afford to buy a home. I’m running for Governor to change that.
Rural Nevada is being crushed by the Lombardo-Trump affordability crisis. Families here are struggling to keep up, and they deserve more than lip service; I'm listening, and fixing this will be my priority from day one.
Republican Joe Lombardo's own Deputy Police Chief endorses Democrat Aaron Ford in the Nevada governor's race
Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing from businesses, students, and working families: folks can't keep up with the costs. Under Joe Lombardo, unemployment is high and housing costs are at record highs. It's my number one priority as Governor to make life affordable again.
I know what it’s like to struggle and right now, too many Nevadans are facing that same pain in this Lombardo-Trump economy. That’s why, as governor, on day one I’ll declare this affordability crisis a state of emergency and immediately begin lowering your costs.
As a father and former public school teacher, I understand this time can be expensive for parents. That’s why as governor, I’ll sign a bill to give GUARANTEED school meals to all public school children.
I won't let our kids go hungry. Joe Lombardo vetoed a bill that guaranteed our kids school meals, but when I'm governor I'll make sure it becomes law.
🚨As costs skyrocket, Joe Lombardo’s top priority is taking care of Trump’s “billionaires friends” who are bankrolling his campaign and jacking up Nevadans’ prices. As Governor, my top priority will be taking care of working Nevadans.
Trump is in Vegas to campaign for Joe Lombardo and gaslight voters about the reality of the Lombardo-Trump economy raising costs on Nevadans. While Lombardo chooses to be a human doormat for Trump, I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and put money back in Nevadans’ pockets.
These illegal tariffs are not paid by foreign governments. They’re paid by Nevada consumers and crushing small businesses. That’s why I’m fighting to end them.
When corporations collude to raise drug prices, Nevadans pay for it. That’s why I joined a 43-state coalition to secure a $400 million settlement with Sandoz Inc. over price-fixing allegations that drove up costs for prescription medications.
Today, AG Ford joined a coalition suing the Trump administration over an unlawful policy that would allow sensitive personal information of TANF recipients to be shared across the federal government. The lawsuit seeks to protect families' privacy and stop the illegal data sharing.
Spoke with Nye county voters at Our Place Coffee about how I’m going to make sure rural Nevadans have access quality, affordable medical care.
