    THE LINCOLN NEWSLETTER The Official Newsletter of the Nevada Republican Club April 2020 Club Recommends Judicial Candidates After an extensive review of candidates and sitting judges, the Nevada Republican Club Board of Directors is pleased to announce and publish its recommended list of judicial candidates for the June 2020 primary. As judicial races are non-partisan, the Board selected candidates based on their competence, honesty, integrity, experience and courtroom demeanor. These qualities were measured based on interviews, opinions and recommendations from (i) conservative attorneys practicing in state district court and family court and (ii) courtroom insiders. We also reviewed any video-taped debates hosted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, their Martindale- Hubbell rating, their caseload and experience based on their website, and caseload to determine their expertise & experience. In some cases, we recommended two candidates because we found them to be equally competent. The results can be found on page 4 of this Newsletter (which is printable) and on our website: www.nevadarepublicanclub.com. We have also published 25,000 trifolds for distribution. If you want a bunch of these trifolds to help us distribute them to friends and family, please contact Vice President Mike Colian at [email protected].

    Saving for the Future A Guide for Families E STATE H T T R F E O A Administered by E S U C I R F E F R O Nevada State Treasurer 1 86 64 4 18 DIO S Dan Schwartz ECETES CIVITA N E VA D A We all want the best possible future for our children However, the high cost of a college education can present a roadblock for many families. The SSGA Upromise 529 Plan can help you save for college in a disciplined, tax-efficient way to reach long-term educational goals. The SSGA Upromise 529 Plan offers a number of distinct features including: • A variety of investment options from State Street Global Advisors • Valuable tax benefits1 • The use of SPDR® ETFs as the main investment vehicle for the 529 Portfolios2 In addition to the investment options managed by State Street Global Advisors, a Savings Portfolio is offered through Sallie Mae Bank. 1 The availability of tax or other benefits may be contingent on meeting other requirements. 2 Although they invest in ETFs and/or mutual funds, the SSGA Upromise 529 Plan Portfolios are not ETFs or mutual funds themselves. As an SSGA Upromise 529 account owner, you will own units of the portfolio, which are municipal fund securities, not shares of the ETFs or mutual funds. | 1 Why are 529 plans so important? A college graduate can earn as much as 66 percent more than a high school graduate over the course of their career and may have a significant advantage when it comes to finding employment.3 In 2014 the unemployment rate among workers with a bachelor’s degree was 3.5 percent, lower than the 6.0 percent unemployment rate among workers with only a high school diploma.4 However, despite the great return a higher education can offer, a college degree comes with a steep price tag.
