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 ACLU of Nevada's 2017 Legislative Scorecard
    ACLU of Nevada 2017 Legislative Scorecard We created this scorecard so you can see where your legislators stand on a variety of civil liberties issues. This scorecard is for informational purposes and is not meant as an endorsement of legislators who score well or a statement of opposition against those who do not. Legislators make many promises during elections, but their votes reveal how they really stand on issues that affect our freedoms and liberties. We encourage you to use this information to give your legislators feedback about their votes in the 2017 legislative session. Find your legislators here! Bills We Scored During the 2017 legislative session, the ACLU of Nevada tracked and monitored over 250 bills, some of which did not make it to the governor’s desk or beyond the first committee. While there are many bills that we would have liked to include in our scorecard, we scored only those bills that were voted on in both houses, required the most work, and were the best cross-section of civil liberties issues affecting Nevadans right now. Each legislator was scored only on votes they were present for; thus, the score is adjusted for absences. The governor was scored only on bills that constitutionally require his approval and made it to his desk. SB 26: Oppose | Result: Became Law AB 181: Support | Result: Became Law Prohibits the state of Nevada from entering into contracts with companies that openly Lauded as the nation’s most progressive rights reinstatement legislation of 2017, AB engage in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel, thereby 181 automatically restores the right to vote and sit on a jury to all persons discharged punishing private, constitutionally protected First Amendment speech and boycott from parole or probation for non-violent B category offenses and below, and two activity.
