Nevada Solar Association Endorses Aaron Ford for Governor
Today, following the release of Ford’s economic development plan focused on making Nevada the world’s leader in clean energy technology, Nevada Solar Association endorsed Attorney General Aaron Ford for governor.
“I am honored to have the endorsement of the Nevada Solar Association,” said Attorney General Aaron Ford. “From holding big utility companies accountable for jacking up energy costs to helping create new clean energy jobs, Nevada Solar Association has been a staunch advocate for unlocking our state’s clean energy potential. I am excited to partner with them to make Nevada the world’s leader in clean energy technology as Governor.”
"Attorney General Ford understands that renewable energy is both an environmental responsibility and an economic opportunity," said Stephen Hamile, Chairman of the Nevada Solar Association. “His commitment to expanding clean energy, creating high-quality jobs, and restoring employment impacted by recent federal changes to residential solar incentives makes him the clear choice for Nevada's clean energy community."
“Nevada is a national leader in solar energy, supporting thousands of skilled jobs and billions of dollars in private investment. The NSA believes Attorney General Ford's vision will help ensure Nevada remains at the forefront of renewable energy innovation while expanding access to affordable, reliable clean energy for Nevada families and businesses.”
"The Nevada Solar Association is proud to endorse Aaron Ford for Governor," Hamile added. "His leadership, integrity, and commitment to Nevada's clean energy future align closely with the values of our industry and the thousands of Nevadans whose livelihoods depend on it."
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 Culinary Union 226, CWA Local 9413, IBEW 401, IBEW 357, UAW Region 6, Operating Engineers Local 3, Laborers’ Union Local 169, AFSCME Local 4041, Ironworkers Local 433, Bricklayers Local 13, Nevada Teamsters, Reproductive Freedom for All, Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte, Nevada NOW, Nevada State Education Association, Washoe Education Association, and others – all citing Ford’s record on affordability and workers’ rights, as well as his vision for a strong, diversified economic future.
