  • Political History of Nevada: Chapter 1
    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.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. owns the Venetian, which is hosting the debate, and it owns the adjoining Palazzo Resort-Hotel- Casino, where Perry bedded down the night of his son’s party. The head of Las Vegas Sands, Sheldon Adelson, has been a Perry supporter since 2007. Perry’s campaign reported that he flew to Vegas on October 24, 2009 to meet Brian Sandoval, who was then running a successful GOP campaign to be governor of Nevada. Days later the campaign acknowledged to the Dallas Morning News that on that same Vegas trip Perry also attended a bachelor party that the male friends of his son, Griffin, held to celebrate the younger Perry’s upcoming wedding.1 Perry previously reported that casino owner Adelson contributed a $1,856 in-kind “event expense” to the Perry campaign on December 7, 2007. Perry’s campaign reported that one of its fundraisers, Krystie Alvarado, flew to Vegas a day earlier for a fundraiser. The campaign reported that Flatonia, Texas sausage magnate Danny Janecka then flew Governor Perry to Vegas on December 9, 2007 for a fundraiser.

  • Question 1: Marsy's
    VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE Question 1: Marsy’s Law Executive Summary This Voter Guide provides information on Question 1: Marsy’s Law, which will be considered by voters on November 6, 2018. A “yes” vote is a vote to approve the measure, which would amend the Nevada Constitution to remove current provisions for victims’ rights and replace them with a new “victims’ bill of rights.” A “no” vote is a vote to reject the ballot measure that would leave the current provisions for victims’ rights in the Nevada Constitution. Our intent, in the pages that follow, is to summarize the arguments for and against the measure and to answer questions voters may have. The following are the questions this Voter Guide addresses: 1) What is Question 1: Marsy’s Law? 2) Why is it coming before the voters? 3) What happens if Question 1 passes? 4) What happens if it fails to pass? 5) What are the primary arguments for Marsy’s Law? 6) What are the primary arguments against Marsy’s Law? 7) Can the Nevada Legislature make changes to Question 1 after it has been approved by voters? The Guinn Center will not take a position on Question 1: Marsy’s Law. 1 VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE 1. What is Question 1: Marsy’s Law?
