In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“As the make-stuff-cost-less Governor, Aaron Ford will not allow data centers to raise costs on Nevadans by one penny. Ford will stop awarding tax breaks for data centers until they prove that they're holding up their end of the bargain. When Ford is Governor, data centers will need to bring their own clean energy, electrical grid infrastructure, and water.”
“Nevada families are hurting. I don't care what party you belong to, I'm not going to back down. The choice couldn't be clearer. Do you want a governor who's going to stand with billionaires, or do you want one who's going to fight for the working class? Do you want an economy that only works for the wealthy and the well-connected, or one that works for everybody?”
“As governor, I will put Nevadans first: expanding economic opportunity and creating good-paying jobs, lowering costs, guaranteeing school meals, and taking on predatory corporations pricing Nevadans out of their homes. That's the future Nevadans deserve, and that's how we move our state forward – together.”
