And so, you know, there's kind of this perception that crime is on the rise because of the rising number of murders compared to 2019. We've seen ads attacking Lombardo for rising murder rates in the valley. But you know, kind of with this, this cesspool of crime claim, there's been a lot of claims about crime in the governor's race, especially because we have Joe Lombardo, the Sheriff of Clark County running for governor. 2020 was a bit of an outlier year because of the pandemic and just everything that changed about normal life. And the same kind of goes for property crimes, where we've seen kind of steady declines. We've seen violent crime on the whole decreasing, even sharper increases from 2017, 2018. Golonka: I think it's a misleading statement about crime in Nevada, just overall looking at the state since 2015, 2016. Sean Golonka is a reporter for The Nevada Independent and dug into former President Donald Trump’s claims that Las Vegas is a “ cesspool of crime.” She's basically abusing her position as a lawyer and trying to abuse a whole bunch of people because they don't agree with her. And then that she threatens people to do a background check.
And then the fact that … she goes on Twitter and says that a lobbyist, if he showed his face in Vegas, that she would punch him in the face. … To me, it doesn't mean if you're going to say that privately or publicly, or if you're going to say he's, you know, Hamas are not Hamas, who talks like that? It's not acceptable. It said he “should be hanging from a (expletive) crane,” and compared him to the leader of Hamas. Sigal Chattach, the Republican candidate, was found to have texted in April 2021 about the Democrat in the race, Aaron Ford. I mean, why would you want somebody like that? … I would think that's a no brainer considering the opponent has problems with the FBI, has not paid her taxes. He came in he spoke twice to the Douglas County Commissioners meeting, which my husband is a part of, and my husband was very impressed. You can talk to business people, politicians, lobbyists. I mean, really, that should be a nonpartisan position. But is it a fatal? I don't know.Īmy Tarkanian, the former chair of Nevada GOP, voiced support for incumbents Aaron Ford for attorney general and Zach Conine for treasurer. It's still a drag on Biden, and the Democrats, absolutely positively. So, a lot of people do, a lot of voters do.

Jackson: All of the polling indicates every time a pollster asks this question, they answer overwhelmingly no … I think it's starting to sink into people that a lot of the things that are going on with prices are certainly not confined to the United States. And Laxalt is also a flawed and somewhat amateurish candidate. Senator for the Republicans, and Harry Reid was very much disliked nationally, and even here in Nevada, yet pretty high disapproval, but angle was such a flawed candidate that Reid was able to pull that out. Of course, one big example in Nevada in recent years was in 2010, when Sharron Angle was nominated to be the U.S. There are a lot of as you noted, rightly, in midterm elections, usually the party that doesn't control the White House gets creamed. You know, if you'd asked me maybe two months ago, I would have said Cortez Masto. Hugh Jackson, publisher of the Nevada Current: I don't know.

Senate contest as a toss-up and millions of dollars are flowing into the state to bolster the campaigns of incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto and challenger Adam Laxalt.Īt the same time, President Biden's poll numbers have started to improve as the Democrats passed huge packages on infrastructure, gun safety and pharmaceutical costs.
