Defend The Vote Endorses Aaron Ford for Governor
Today, Attorney General Aaron Ford announced that Defend The Vote endorsed his campaign for governor.
“I’m proud to have the endorsement of Defend The Vote,” said Attorney General Aaron Ford. “From suing to ensure all legal votes are counted and stop voter purges to fighting against Donald Trump’s attempts to federalize Nevada’s election, I have spent my entire political career defending the right to vote. As Trump calls to federalize our elections and Republicans like Joe Lombardo refuse to show any backbone, Defend The Vote's work has never been more critical, and I'm honored to have their endorsement. As Nevada’s next Governor, I’ll push back against efforts that make it harder for the citizens of Nevada to vote.”
“Nevadan families feel the cost of corruption every day as they face rising prices, from housing, to health care, to energy to everyday needs,” said DTV Executive Director Brian Lemek. “Aaron Ford has fought for accountability and transparency to unrig the system so it serves the people, not corporate lobbyists and political extremists. We’re proud to endorse him and look forward to helping him win in November.”
Ford’s campaign is supported by a broad and growing coalition of elected leaders, labor, education, and advocacy organizations – including Nevada’s entire Democratic federal delegation, a majority of state legislators, and other leaders from across the state. Ford has also been endorsed by CWA Local 9413, IBEW 401, IBEW 357, UAW Region 6, Operating Engineers Local 3, Laborers’ Union Local 169, Reproductive Freedom for All, Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte, Nevada State Education Association, Washoe Education Association, Nevada NOW and others – all citing Ford’s record on affordability and workers’ rights, as well as his vision for a strong, diversified economic future.
