    Political History of Nevada Chapter 1 Politics in Nevada, Circa 2016 37 CHAPTER 1: POLITICS IN NEVADA, CIRCA 2016 Nevada: A Brief Historiography By EMERSON MARCUS in Nevada Politics State Historian, Nevada National Guard Th e Political History of Nevada is the quintessential reference book of Nevada elections and past public servants of this State. Journalists, authors, politicians, and historians have used this offi cial reference for a variety of questions. In 1910, the Nevada Secretary of State’s Offi ce fi rst compiled the data. Th e Offi ce updated the data 30 years later in 1940 “to meet a very defi nite and increasing interest in the political history of Nevada,” and has periodically updated it since. Th is is the fi rst edition following the Silver State’s sesquicentennial, and the State’s yearlong celebration of 150 years of Statehood in 2014. But this brief article will look to examine something other than political data. It’s more about the body of historical work concerning the subject of Nevada’s political history—a brief historiography. A short list of its contributors includes Dan De Quille and Mark Twain; Sam Davis and James Scrugham; Jeanne Wier and Anne Martin; Richard Lillard and Gilman Ostrander; Mary Ellen Glass and Effi e Mona Mack; Russell Elliott and James Hulse; William Rowley and Michael Green. Th eir works standout as essential secondary sources of Nevada history. For instance, Twain’s Roughing It (1872), De Quille’s Big Bonanza (1876) and Eliot Lord’s Comstock Mining & Mines (1883) off er an in-depth and anecdote-rich— whether fact or fi ction—glance into early Nevada and its mining camp way of life.

Let’s Get To Work The last few months have been a breakthrough span of time for this union. We’ve enjoyed a series of important victories, reached several critical milestones, and continued our efforts to revitalize our members’ faith in TWU. I can hear, see, and feel the difference when I interact with you: when I read your emails, visit your locals, or attend your events. In the last several months, I joined Local 234, my old local, as they opened up negotiations with SEPTA in Philadelphia. I attended Local 291’s annual picnic in Florida. And of course, I was in Dallas as we negotiated with American Airlines to get our Air Division members at American the industry-leading wages they deserve. Today, I recognize a sense of pride in this union that I hadn’t seen in many years. I see you wearing your TWU buttons and t-shirts, and interacting with our posts and one another on social media. I see you sharing our content with your friends and families and calling your local and International officers to see how you can get involved. I see you signing up—literally, by the thousands—to get involved in our unity campaign at American Airlines, or to volunteer with get-out- the-vote efforts. I see a renewed commitment to the value that this “This momentum union provides all of us, and our families, and an appreciation for the solidarity we’ve shown our brothers and sisters over the last several years as we’ve rebuilt TWU together.

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks at a Town Hall Meeting and a Question-and-Answer Session in Reno, Nevada April 21, 2011 The President. Thank you. Hello, Reno! Thank you. Thank you so much. Please, everybody have a seat. It is great to be back here in Reno, great to be back in Nevada. I am thrilled that all of you are here. We've got some special, special people that I want to acknowledge. First of all, I want to thank ElectraTherm for hosting us, and John Fox, the CEO of ElectraTherm, is here; Stephen Olson, the president and CFO of ElectraTherm. Thank you very much. They just had a chance to meet me backstage, and they were describing all the great work that they are doing. I am told the contraption behind me here is known as the Green Machine, produces renewable energy from low-temperature heat waste. And John and Stephen were explaining to me how it works, and I was nodding, pretending like I understood what they were saying. [Laughter] Actually, I have no idea how it works, but I'm glad it does work. [Laughter] And I want to congratulate ElectraTherm for being a fine example of a clean energy company that's been growing by leaps and bounds over the last few years. Give yourselves a big round of applause. In addition, we've got some people who are here. Somebody who's working hard for you, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley is here. Mayor Bob Cashell is here. Lieutenant Governor Brian Krolicki is here.
