Nevadans are feeling the pain — at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and at the doctor’s office — because of the choices Joe Lombardo has made as governor. Lombardo backed Donald Trump’s trade war and economic agenda, helping drive up the cost of food, gas, and everyday essentials while supporting policies that put health care coverage, jobs, and Social Security at risk. Instead of standing up for Nevada families, Lombardo aligned himself with Trump’s agenda — and Nevadans are paying the price.
The effects of Lombardo’s decisions as governor are being felt across the state:
-
Higher food and gas prices
Lombardo praised Trump’s tariffs as costs rose for families. -
Cuts to food assistance
Lombardo backed the largest SNAP cut in history, impacting 160,000 Nevada households. -
Medicare threatened
Lombardo backed legislation triggering $500B in Medicare cuts. -
Social Security delayed, jobs lost
Lombardo praised DOGE cuts as services slowed for more than 600,000 Nevadans. -
Reproductive care restricted
Lombardo celebrated the overturning of Roe v Wade and backed abortion bans.
Joe Lombardo’s record as governor shows a clear pattern: prioritizing MAGA loyalty over accountability. By backing Trump’s policies, Lombardo helped raise costs, weaken health care and retirement security, leaving Nevada families worse off.
