Yesterday morning, I joined the Nevada Democratic Veterans Caucus at The Wealthy Place Ministries on Las Vegas’ Historic Westside, where Bishop Bill McDonnell, Rodney Smith, and several community leaders were honored for their service.

The Historic Westside community welcomed me long before Election Day, encouraged me throughout the campaign, and continues to remind me what public service is really about.

Bishop McDonnell has led the congregation now known as The Wealthy Place Ministries since 1995, helping make it an important place of faith, conversation, and community life.

During our conversation, Bishop McDonnell reflected on the nearly 15,000 Nevadans who supported my campaign and left me thinking about one question that has stayed with me: What will I do with those voices?

It took me back more than 30 years to a professor who once asked me: What do you want to be remembered for?

I've learned that the best teachers, mentors, and leaders don't always give us answers. They leave us with questions that stay with us—and quietly shape the work ahead.

Thank you, Bishop McDonnell, for your wisdom, encouragement, and decades of service to Las Vegas' Historic Westside.

Every Nevadan is entitled to the same constitutional promise: equal citizenship under the law.

[Dr. Jay Maharjan @4entrepreneur]

158 years ago today, the 14th Amendment transformed our constitutional order by guaranteeing national citizenship and equal protection under the law.

Its promise is not conditional, partisan, or temporary.

Citizenship and equal protection are constitutional rights—not privileges any president may withdraw.

Nevada’s future has always been shaped by people from different backgrounds working toward a common purpose. Equal citizenship makes that possible.

Equal protection under the law isn't a political slogan. It's a constitutional promise.

Research-informed leadership matters.

[Dr. Jay Maharjan @4entrepreneur]

How we manage our money says everything about what we value as a state.

That was a central theme of my campaign for Nevada State Treasurer, and it continues to shape how I think about public leadership.

Recently, I've been revisiting the work of USC Professor Emeritus Stephen Krashen. One idea continues to stand out: people learn best when ideas are understandable, meaningful, and connected to their interests.

I've come to believe that principle extends well beyond education.

Whether we are discussing public policy, economic opportunity, or civic life, people are more likely to engage when they understand not only what we are trying to accomplish, but why it matters.

My doctoral research at USC focused on how public institutions connect resources, strategy, measurable outcomes, and accountability. Research doesn't replace leadership—it strengthens it by helping us ask better questions, make better decisions, and evaluate whether we are achieving the results we intended.

The best public policy is grounded in evidence, guided by values, and measured by outcomes.

Because in the end, how we manage our money says everything about what we value as a state.

Celebrating America250 in Boulder City.

I appreciated the opportunity to join fellow Clark County Democrats in the parade as we celebrated 205 years of Democratic Party history.

It was great connecting with families, veterans, volunteers, Attorney General Aaron Ford, elected officials, community leaders, and familiar faces from across Southern Nevada.

Thank you to everyone who made today’s celebration possible.

Happy Independence Day, Nevada! 🇺🇸

Nevada’s future depends on infrastructure that connects every community.

During and after my campaign for State Treasurer, Democratic leaders and community leaders in Northern Nevada raised concerns about limited cell and broadband coverage along parts of the Reno-to-Lovelock corridor. If someone experiences a medical emergency or vehicle breakdown, unreliable connectivity can delay their ability to reach help. That is a public safety issue—and one we have the ability to address through thoughtful investment.

Through my public service work with the Obama White House Startup America initiative, I helped secure Nevada’s participation in the FCC Rural Broadband Experiment. That experience reinforced my belief that strategic public investment can strengthen public safety, support small businesses, expand educational opportunity, and help lower costs for working families.

Traveling across Nevada has reminded me that every community has its own priorities—from broadband connectivity near Lovelock, to long-term water planning in Fallon, to housing affordability in Southern Nevada. While the challenges may differ, they all require thoughtful planning, sustained investment, and leaders willing to listen.

Investing in modern infrastructure is about more than technology or construction. It is about making Nevada more affordable, creating economic opportunity, and ensuring that every community—rural and urban alike—has the tools to succeed.

That is the kind of Nevada I believe in—and the kind of future I will continue working to build.

Back in East Las Vegas last night, I was with people in my own community celebrating Mexico’s historic World Cup victory — its first knockout-round win in 40 years.

The joy in the room was real. I stayed for the whole game and loved seeing families, friends, and neighbors come together around something bigger than soccer.

But behind the celebration is also the everyday reality of neighborhoods like this one. Jobs, education, housing, and opportunity are not abstract policy issues — they shape everyday life.

I first moved to this area after taking on my role with the Obama White House Startup America initiative, and I stayed. Fifteen years later, after four years teaching in this neighborhood, I still see the same hopes and challenges that first drew me here. This community continues to shape how I think about opportunity, education, and public service.

The lesson I keep coming back to is simple: relationships are built long before elections, and they should continue long after. Trust grows by showing up, listening, and staying connected.

Appreciate @LapulgadeLV for bringing people together for a memorable evening.

Grateful to be back in Northern Nevada this weekend to thank supporters, reconnect, and follow up on conversations that began during the campaign.

From Reno to Fallon, I appreciated the opportunity to spend time with friends, supporters, labor leaders, and community leaders.

It was meaningful to visit with former Nevada Treasurer Kate Marshall and former Nevada Secretary of State and three-term Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa, two leaders whose public service has helped shape our state.

We also continued conversations in Churchill County about housing, health care, water, infrastructure, rural broadband, and the challenges facing working families across Nevada.

Thank you to everyone who made time to visit, share ideas, and continue the conversation. I left Northern Nevada encouraged by the relationships we’ve built and committed to keep working with communities across our state.

Gracias a @LapulgadeLV por compartir este mensaje de solidaridad.

Mi corazón está con el pueblo venezolano y con todas las familias afectadas. Les envío mis pensamientos, oraciones y solidaridad en estos momentos tan difíciles. 🇻🇪

Last night, I stopped by the Red Rock Democratic Club to listen and learn.

Thank you @RalstonReports and @SteveSebelius for a thoughtful discussion on Nevada politics, campaigns, and the lessons from this election cycle.

I’m grateful to the Red Rock Democratic Club, its leadership, board members, and members for welcoming me throughout this campaign and for continuing to create space for thoughtful conversations about Nevada’s future.

Campaigns may end, but public service also means listening, learning, building relationships, and staying engaged.

This weekend, I’ll be in Reno and Northern Nevada to thank supporters and reconnect with friends from across our state.

Two weeks after the election, I am returning to the quieter work of life.

This summer, I am preparing to be back in the classroom in August and continue serving Nevada students and families.

Campaigns are public. Much of public service is not.

I am grateful to everyone who supported our campaign and to the nearly 15,000 Nevadans who placed their trust in me.

I remain committed to serving Nevada — in the classroom, in the community, and wherever the work leads next.

A Nevada Democrat who spent almost forty years in the energy sector asked me about the current state of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

My answer is this: war should always be a last resort. When conflict escalates, working families pay the price through higher costs, fuel shocks, tariffs, and global instability.

Emergency reserves exist for emergencies — but stewardship still matters.

If war threatens oil supply and shipping routes, using the reserve to help stabilize prices can be justified.

But drawing down a strategic reserve cannot be the whole plan. It creates a responsibility.

We need a clear plan to replenish the reserve, protect national security, and prepare for the next crisis.

Public assets should be used wisely, transparently, and with future generations in mind.

Energy security is not just about today’s price at the pump. It is about whether we leave America stronger, more peaceful, more resilient, and better prepared.

[Dr. Jay Maharjan @4entrepreneur]

Prosperity is never guaranteed.

Good jobs, affordable housing, strong schools, and reliable public services do not happen by accident. Communities fall behind when leaders stop investing in working families and the future.

Nevada has tremendous assets — tourism, energy, land, minerals, small businesses, and hardworking people. The question is whether we turn today’s opportunities into lasting prosperity for everyday Nevadans.

I studied how states can build long-term financial strength as part of my doctoral research. My campaign for State Treasurer was about bringing that conversation home to Nevada.

That conversation did not end on Election Day.

Go Nevada!

[Dr. Jay Maharjan @4entrepreneur]

As the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games begin today in Minnesota, I'm thinking about the Team Nevada athletes I had the honor of meeting at their send-off earlier this week.

These athletes represent communities from across Nevada and carry the pride, determination, and spirit of our state to the national stage.

I was also grateful to meet former Raider and Super Bowl champion Leo Gray, who was among the coaches and volunteers helping prepare Team Nevada for the USA Games.

To Team Nevada: Nevada is proud of you and cheering you on every step of the way.

Go Team Nevada!

I’ve been taking time after the primary to thank people who helped us along the way.

I’m especially grateful to La Pulga La Voz Latina. They believed in this work early, long before many people knew our campaign.

During the final stretch, they showed up in so many ways — through videos, outreach, events, signs, encouragement, and community connection.

They went beyond what was expected, and I could not be more grateful for the professionalism, creativity, and heart they brought to this campaign.

Thank you to the entire La Pulga team for standing with us.
