Leading Nevada: Insights and Journeys with Governor Joe Lombardo

Jonathan and Gary welcome back Governor Joe Lombardo, a repeat guest who previously appeared as Clark County Sheriff and is now running for re-election. Lombardo discusses his approach to public speaking and leadership, growing up in Vegas, and how COVID-era decisions motivated his run for governor. He explains how the Safe Streets and Neighborhood Act has reduced property and violent crime and comments on downtown's improved environment and investment. Lombardo gives an in-depth update on Southern Nevada's water situation, the expiring Colorado River Compact, plus desalination credits. The conversation also covers Vegas as a sports destination (NBA expansion talks, A's stadium progress), economic and education metrics, healthcare improvements, affordable housing efforts, and his message to voters to participate in elections.
