Nevadans shouldn’t have to take on more debt just to feed their families, but under Trump & Lombardo’s leadership, that's the reality. People can’t keep up with how fast prices are rising, and it shows in Nevada’s $14.4B in credit card debt. #TrumpLombardoEconomy

While Trump continues his trade wars, Americans are feeling the pain from skyrocketing prices. Gas & groceries are too expensive, and we’re taking on more debt just to keep food on the table. We're live discussing rising debt: bit.ly/4dJot8p

The average rate for a 30-year mortgage hit 7.03% this week as President Trump’s war on Iran continues. Gov. Lombardo remains loyal to Trump despite the negative impact his tenure is having on Nevadan families, small businesses, and workers.

Yesterday, the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate, the first rate hike since 2023. The move lifts the Fed’s key rate to roughly 3.9% and could add upward pressure on Nevadans who are already facing $7 per gallon diesel fuel prices, unaffordable housing, and more.

Gov. Joe Lombardo's reelection campaign is being bankrolled by Ben Horowitz, a billionaire who runs a venture capital firm that funds Flock, AI companies, and data centers. Lombardo is working for tech oligarchs, not Nevadans.
