Ford Campaign Statement On Aaron Ford Resoundingly Winning Nevada Democratic Gubernatorial Primary
Statement by Zoë Kleinfeld, Campaign Manager at Ford for Nevada:
“Tonight’s decisive victory is a mandate – and a preview. Nevadans have seen what our state looks like when Joe Lombardo, Trump’s human doormat, is at the helm: drug prices that keep climbing while his campaign cashes checks from Big Pharma. Energy bills that keep rising while NV Energy funds his political operation. A governor who told working Nevadans breaking their backs to get by that we need to ‘feel a little pain’ while his biggest donors saw increased profits.
“Attorney General Aaron Ford has spent his life on the other side of that equation. He grew up stressing about basic necessities costing too much and dealing with a system rigged against working people trying to get ahead. That’s why he sued Big Pharma to hold them accountable for jacking up the price of life-saving medications, and why he’s fighting NV Energy in court right now over the demand charge that’s ripping off Nevada consumers. The corporations writing Joe Lombardo’s checks are the same ones Aaron Ford is taking to court.
"The contrast in this race couldn’t be clearer. This November is a choice between a doormat of a governor who has spent four years telling Nevadans to accept less, and a champion who has spent his career fighting for more on behalf of Nevadans – lower costs, real accountability, and a state where working families aren’t an afterthought. Aaron Ford is the only candidate in this race who has the vision, the plans, and the tenacity to make that dream into a reality. We’re going to win this general election by building a multiracial working-class coalition united around the promise of a better future for Nevada’s working families.”
