"Lombardo’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment on how the governor balances the desire to turnout voters with messaging that calls integrity into question, or what he meant when he lamented that voting is easy in Nevada “unfortunately.”"

ICYMI: Linda McMahon is taking a wrecking ball to public education.

Yesterday in Southern Nevada, Joe Lombardo was all smiles as he rolled out the red carpet for her.

The self-proclaimed “education governor” keeps showing us whose side he’s on.

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

Today, we reminded the #NVLeg that public education should not be used to sell more data centers.

NSEA strongly supports the Interim Revenue Committee's BDR to repeal data center tax abatements and establish a moratorium on new data center development.

Speaking of “answering to California,” Joe Lombardo called one special session to hand California billionaire John Fisher $380 million in public money, then another to try to hand Hollywood $1.8 billion.

California’s millionaires and billionaires call. Joe answers. Nevadans pay.

"Unfortunately, my class size and paid family medical leave bills were vetoed by a governor who cares more about corporate profits than working Nevadans. This is the same governor who tried to bankrupt our state by giving away nearly $2B in public money to Hollywood studios..."

From gas and groceries to housing and health care, nearly everything costs more. And for families with school-aged children, the financial squeeze doesn't end with everyday expenses. School-related costs add another burden, with families potentially paying nearly $4,000 more.

"CCEA should have asked teachers who they support for Governor before spending millions of member dollars to make it look like teachers are lining up behind Lombardo. This poll confirms what we already know. Most teachers don’t support Lombardo, and their union shouldn’t either."

Teachers at Odds with CCEA Lombardo Campaign. New survey shows teachers favor Aaron Ford by 23 points. https://t.co/HskUN3I9rn

The “education governor” should have a better report card.

Behind every headline: students losing support and opportunities, positions cut, classrooms doing more with less.

Make your plan to #vote for leaders who will fund our schools, feed our kids, and respect our educators.

Lombardo claims his top education accomplishment was the 2023 funding bill. Ironically, he introduced a budget that was actually lower than required by statute. #nvleg

Again, here's the problem with Joe Lombardo's $2 increase in per-pupil funding. Fuel costs are impacting educators and our districts. WCSD will spend an additional $1.5 million on diesel to get kids to school. And Lombardo's inadequate budget leaves districts to absorb the hit.

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

And here we see the problem with Joe Lombardo's $2 increase in per-pupil funding.

Fuel costs are impacting educators and our districts. CCSD will spend millions more getting kids to school.

And Lombardo's education budget (a de facto cut) leaves districts to absorb the hit.

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

Inflation is not an education funding plan, Governor.

Nevada’s schools are already billions behind. Waiting for rising prices and economic growth to generate more tax revenue won’t close that gap.

We need new revenue, not just more of the same.

"A few vetoes are fine, but 162 vetoes in just two legislative sessions? Unconscionable.

Among the legislation Lombardo vetoed were bills to lower the costs of housing and prescription drugs, fund universal free school lunches..., and protect access to IVF treatments."

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

"Sky-high fuel prices will cost the CCSD millions of dollars more to operate its bus fleet this year." The district said it expects to spend an additional $2.9 million on fuel this school year, which could bring this year’s total annual fuel costs up to $18 million."

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

Perhaps before Joe Lombardo promises schools billions from data centers over the next 30 years, he could explain why he couldn't even fund schools at a level that kept pace with inflation over the last two...🤔

Spied in AD25. Selena La Rue Hatch, a teacher solving problems. #nvleg

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

"They point to his inability to get Nevada's per-pupil funding up to the national average, about $17,000, which is at least $3500 more than the state's average. Opponents also call out the governor for vetoing bills on free school meals, summer school and reducing class sizes."

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

"But critics — such as the Nevada State Education Association, which has endorsed Lombardo's Democratic opponent, Attorney General Aaron Ford, and Assm. Selena La Rue Hatch, a Washoe County social studies high school teacher — gave Lombardo's efforts on K-12 education an F."

[Nevada State Education Association @NSEAOnline]

"Nevadans struggling to make ends meet need a governor who uses state resources to alleviate the economic pain they’re feeling. Instead, we have Joe Lombardo ― who has called data centers a “gold rush” while simultaneously handing them $240 million in tax breaks."
