Endorsement Committee
This year, we formed an Endorsement Committee comprised of 18 members plus additional Libertarian leadership; the “Committee.” The Committee members conducted their own independent research on each of the candidates and asked them questions at our events. The Committee members took notes and made recommendations on grades and endorsements.
Endorsement Committee Chair: Jason Weinman
Committee Members:
Jason G Smith Jim Duensing Jason Nellis Lesley Chan John McCormack JD Smith Lou Pombo Brady Bowyer Scott Lafata Tim Hagan Brett H. Pojunis Brandon Ellyson Debra Dedmon Nick Klein Andrew Lea Ross Williams Tarina Dark Steve Brown
Format - Why "Speed Dating?"
The Libertarian Party of Nevada hosted "Speed Dating" events over 2 days at different venues in Las Vegas. The goal was to meet as many candidates as possible in a format similar to speed dating. LPNevada endorsed Candidates in non‐partisan races and graded Candidates in partisan races for the 2014 General Elections. Most organizations do not get one‐on‐one interaction with the candidates; we felt this is important.
Endorsements and Grading
Non‐Partisan candidates received either a positive (thumbs up) or negative (thumbs down) endorsement from the Committee. Partisan Candidates received a grade of 1 to 5 stars. Candidates who received 1 star were not very Libertarian and candidates who received 5 stars were very good in regards to their position on issues important to Libertarians.
The Libertarian Party of Nevada has the following 15 Candidate on the 2014 Ballot.
Adam Sanacore, Assembly District 21 Lou Pombo, Assembly District 37 Chris Dailey, White Pine County Commission Louis Gabriel, Assembly District 32 Donald W. Hendon, Assembly District 19 Randy Kimmick, Congressional District 3 Doug Johnson, Clark County Recorder Richard Charles, Congressional District 1 Ed Uehling, Senate District 10 Robert Juarez, Assembly District 15 Jason Smith, Clark County Commissioner F Steve Brown, Congressional District 4 Jim Duensing, Clark County District Attorney Tim Hagan, Clark County Assessor John O’Connor, Assembly District 38
Jason G. Smith is the Libertarian candidate for County Commission in District F, which encompasses North Las Vegas, and much of the West Side. Jason is running against incumbent Susan Brager. Jason is the only candidate with a plan to fix our schools, cut spending, reduce bureaucratic inefficiency, eliminate regulations which throttle the local economy, and restore and expand the personal and economic freedoms that can make Las Vegas the city of opportunity. Jason Smith is the only candidate for County Commission who believes that adults are better able to make decisions for themselves than government officials can make for everyone. www.JasonGSmith.org | 702.210.9962 | [email protected]
Ed Uehling is the Libertarian candidate for State Senate in District 10, the economic engine of Nevada and the most exciting and attractive tourist destination in the world. Ed is running in a two-way race against Democrat Ruben Kihuen. Today’s government restricts job development and growth, and fosters a culture in which the government picks winners and the public loses. As your State Senator, Ed Uehling will work tirelessly to reduce or eliminate the government’s job killing regulations, and to return as much of your money to you as possible. Unlike his opponent, Ed opposes the job killing margin tax, supports a progressive voucher system to address our educational crisis, will introduce common sense reforms to our bloated and inefficient bureaucracy, and will adopt proven free market solutions to the problems that plague our state. www.EdUehling.com | 702.808.6000 | [email protected]
Steve Brown is our Libertarian candidate for The US House of Representatives in Congressional District 4. Steve is a dealer at the fabulous 4 Queens Hotel and Casino, as well as a small business owner. Steve learned the hard way that government regulation is a major impediment to the economy. He will work hard to end the regressive and unnecessary taxation on tips which have a disproportionate impact on low wage service employees, and to end the devastating War on Drugs. Steve also opposes warrantless wiretaps and indefinite detention as proscribed in the NDAA and Patriot Act, the collection of meta-data by the NSA, and the war without end in the Middle East. Steve will also take action to address the 17 trillion dollar national debt, rather than expand it. www.SteveBrown4Congress.com | 702.772.3116 | [email protected]

The Libertarian Party of Nevada (LPNevada) knows that in order to grow we must first be able to fulfill the essential functions of a political party. It's time to get back 2 basics! The LPNevada leadership spent the past year working tirelessly to build a strong foundation for the party. During this time, we moved to a divisional structure and created over 60 leadership positions. Each month, we are identifying and placing new leaders while getting more and more organized.
If you like the new direction of LPNevada please help us by contributing and/or joining the Party.
As a contributor (member) to the Libertarian Party of Nevada, you are investing in the future of Liberty for the people of Nevada. With the attacks by the legislature on our rights, and the disappointments that are our elected officials, we face challenging times in our beautiful state. Contributions from our membership keep us fighting strong. Your contributions will help us continue to build a strong foundation to grow the party, appeal poor court decisions, support our candidates, and lobby for freedom oriented legislation (and the repeal of bad legislation). The Party must be equipped to send political mailers, recruit and organize volunteers, and buy television and radio ads. We are driven by the fact that so many people are Libertarians but just don't know it! Our goal for this membership drive is to communicate with these individuals and let them know we exist.
Monthly contributions help us to plan future initiatives and budget for the most effective approaches. As a Libertarian Party of Nevada donor you are taking a direct part in advancing liberty in Nevada!
People have said in the past that the Libertarian Party is not a real force in politics; let's change that together! This is your chance to help us become an effective political party! LPNevada is about to take off and we want you with us. It's time to get serious!
Please review our membership levels and select which level is best for you. Libertarian Party of Nevada

Questions
Creation of a State Intermediate Appellate Court 1
Every appeal, no matter how frivolous, goes to the Nevada Supreme Court. As a result, the Supreme Court is extremely overworked, and it often takes two to three years to get a decision. Appeals courts can assign cases to individual judges, rather than have them reviewed by panels of three justices. Although the Libertarian Party would prefer to reduce the caseload by streamlining red tape and eliminating victimless crimes, we don’t expect the government to take the dramatic necessary action on time to address the problem. Therefore, the Libertarian Party of Nevada regretfully supports a “Yes” vote on Question 1.
Mining Tax Cap Amendment 2
The Libertarian Party of Nevada supports question 2. The Libertarian party believes that taxes are too high across the board, however, selective tax breaks distort incentives and lead to a misallocation of resources. The impact of selective tax breaks is ultimately the same as the impact of direct subsidization. The goal of removing the cap should be to create a more level playing field. It is important that the additional revenues created by the removal of the cap, if there are any, should go towards paying down Nevada’s debt, or reducing the nominal tax burden (assuming tax rates on mining are ultimately raised to parity by the legislature). Once they’re at parity, we look forward to working with the mining community to ensure that across the board taxes are lowered.
Margin Tax for Public Schools Initiative 3
The Libertarian Party of Nevada wholeheartedly, unanimously, and without reservation, opposes the Margin Tax. This policy, if enacted, will be deeply destructive. Many small businesses operate on smaller margins than this tax allows them to keep, and will have to close. The impact on investment, employment, real wages, and access to goods and services will be detrimental in the extreme. It’s beyond the pale that there exists a segment of the population here in Nevada who would impose such a measure upon themselves and their neighbors. This kind of avarice and disregard for the basic principles of economics demonstrates thoroughly why there is such a need for a Libertarian Party in the first place. Vote “no” on Question 3.
