ICYMI: Ford Closes With Message of Making Life Affordable

“Attorney General Aaron Ford is closing his campaign for governor the way he opened it: talking about what Nevadans pay.”

New reporting by the Las Vegas Sun highlights how Attorney General Aaron Ford’s closing message is a mirror image of his opening message: making things cost less for Nevada families. The Sun highlighted how Ford’s recent letter demanding Trump refund Nevada families a $2,000 “pain at the pump” aligns with his overall message putting money back in people’s pockets. The article also highlights Ford’s Working Class First tour, which took him across 17 counties where he asked Nevadans one question: what’s breaking your budgets? Thus the Affordable Nevada agenda was born.

As Ford heads into November with momentum and a clear message, he remains committed to fighting to lower costs for Nevadans and standing up to Trump’s cost-raising agenda.

Attorney General Aaron Ford is closing his campaign for governor the way he opened it: talking about what Nevadans pay.
Last week, Ford signed a letter calling on President Donald Trump to refund Nevada households $2,000 for rising gas costs and asked his opponent, incumbent Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo, to co-sign it. Diesel averaged $6.85 a gallon Wednesday in Nevada, down slightly from a record $6.87 a gallon Oct. 21, according to AAA. Regular unleaded averaged $5.27 a gallon, the third-highest in the nation behind California and Hawaii, according to AAA, and about $1 more than the national average of $4.25.
Launching his “Working Class First” tour last November, Ford called Lombardo “our biggest roadblock to affordability” and tied economic uncertainty to the early months of Trump’s second term.
In January, he unveiled a housing plan focused on protecting homebuyers and renters, building more housing, accessing federal land and pushing back on Trump’s tariffs. It included a pledge to cap security deposits at one month’s rent instead of the current three. He also promised a first-day executive order directing state agencies to find ways to lower costs, saying affordability would be the focus of his entire administration.
