“I am incredibly grateful and humbled that Nevada Democrats are entrusting me and the rest of our slate to take on these incredibly important roles leading our State Party for the 2024 election cycle. I also want to thank Judith Whitmer, the officers and staff who served alongside her, and everyone who stepped up to run and get more involved. These are demanding volunteer positions that require a lot of time and a deep commitment to electing Democrats at every level, and I hope you will stay in this fight for progress with us.
“We have so much work to do to win this highly competitive battleground state and we are ready to get started today. Over the next two years, I plan to spend every day supporting our dedicated county party chairs, listening to State Central Committee members, and fighting to keep Nevada blue. I look forward to uniting our Democratic family because I know how much we are capable of when we come together as one team. Let’s get to work!”
