Today is the day that candidates in Nevada can start filing for office. In Nevada, you make an appointment with the county clerk, or Secretary of State, and go file.
In places like Illinois, you have to get signatures to get on the ballot, then pay. In Nevada, you only have to pay $200 and go through the process. No checks. No credit cards. Cash only. Which way is better? If you are worried about ballot access and want to take power away from centralized political machines, Nevada’s is far better. It eliminates barriers to entry, which can potentially make races more competitive. Theoretically, that helps voters.
Fortunately, Nevada killed an open primary ranked choice ballot initiative. That structure is like communism. It looks good on the outside, but it eliminates competition. It centralizes power. It eliminates the voice of the voter. All you have to do is look at Alaska Senator Murkowski. She consistently votes against the wishes of voters in her state. Voter ID is just the latest.
Speaking of Voter ID. It’s on the ballot in Nevada. If it passes, it becomes a part of the Constitution. Democrats are fighting against it because they love to fix elections, and voter ID makes it a lot harder.
Of course, to shovel snow in newly communist New York City, you needed two forms of ID.
If you want to participate in the political process in Nevada, you have to register as either a Republican or a Democrat. It’s easy to do it. You should update your registration now. Don’t wait. Don’t procrastinate.
The bulk of voters in Nevada are unregistered by party. Most of the people who are unregistered lean to the right. I appreciate their reasons for being “independent”. As I said in a prior post: My brother-in-law and sister-in-law moved to Nevada from Alaska. It would be beneficial for right-leaning independents to join the party and contribute to its decision-making process. You can stay independent and be mad about the choice of candidate you have, or you can choose to give yourself a voice. You might not like every single stance on every single issue, but if you don’t make yourself heard in the primary, you silence yourself.
By declaring, you have influence and a bit more control. If you were to attend a local county Republican meeting, you could say you are registered, and you would have more credibility to advocate for policies that you care about. You could also vote for me!
Nevadans are going to have a stark choice when it comes to my race this year. The Nevada State Treasurer manages and invests a $12B portfolio.

Nevadans have a clear choice. They can choose integrity, professionalism, and competence that will advance Nevada forward, or they can choose to go backward with a wannabe career politician who has lost winnable race after winnable race.
