March 8, 2021 Next SCA DEMS CLUB MEETING March 8, 2021 Next SCA DEMS CLUB MEETING: Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 5:00 pm Speakers: Kate Marshall, NV Lieutenant Governor Mark Bettencourt, Project Director, Nevada Coalition Against the Death Penalty Topic: Death Penalty ZOOM invites will arrive via an Alert email 2 days before we meet The Death Penalty is a very complicated and emotional issue, and a topic in the current Legislative Session. It is a major area of concern for Kate Marshall and Mark Bettencourt. So we hope you will join us for an informative meeting. And if you have never heard Kate Marshall speak, you are in for a treat! Speaker Information: Kate Marshall is our current Lieutenant Governor, sworn in to this office on January 7, 2019. She is a member of Governor Steve Sisolak’s Cabinet and serves as President of the State Senate. She is also the Chair of the Commission on Tourism, Vice-Chair of the State Board of Transportation, a member of the Board of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, and a member of the Executive Budget Audit Committee. Serving as Lieutenant Governor is only the latest chapter in Kate’s history of elected service to Nevada. In 2006 and again in 2010 she was elected Nevada’s State Treasurer. Her many accomplishments as Treasurer include eliminating no-bid contracts and off-the-book accounts, reduced spending to make government more efficient, and identifying innovative methods to increase economic development for Nevada Businesses. In the difficult economic downturn in 2009 Kate managed Nevada’s investments so well they earned money every single quarter. One of her proudest achievements as Treasurer was creating the College Kick Start program. In the first statewide program of its kind, Kate partnered with local banks to open and fund college savings account for every kindergartner in public school in Nevada - and she did it at no expense to taxpayers. Mark Bettencourt is Project Director for the Nevada Coalition Against the Death Penalty. He is an experienced non-profit director with a demonstrated history of working in the political organization industry. He is skilled in issue advocacy, environmental politics, intersectional community organizing, and has a deep passion to improve racial justice and equity, working within the field of organizing and non-profit management. He is a strong community and social services professional with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree focused in History from University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 9, 2020 DEMOCRATIC LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS ANNOUNCE NEW CHAIR MICHIGAN LT. GOVERNOR GARLIN GILCHRIST II ELECTED CHAIR THREE NEW MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WASHINGTON — The Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association (DLGA) announced today that Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II will serve as the organization’s Chair in 2021. “This year has been particularly consequential for lieutenant governors, who have been called upon to take the reins of responsibility as we lead our states in unprecedented ways in light of a lack of national leadership,” Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II said. “With an incoming Biden/Harris Administration, we have an opportunity to expand the role and responsibility of lieutenant governors to serve as advocates and advisors on our nation’s most pressing issues. I look forward to leading the Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association into a new era of leadership and possibility.” New York Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul completed her term after overseeing record breaking fundraising and spending as the organization’s Chair in 2020. “Lieutenant governors have a unique platform to advocate for communities and bring innovative solutions to their state capitols, and the pandemic has only amplified their role in fighting COVID-19 and building back better,” said outgoing DLGA Chair New York Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul. “I’m proud to have elevated the role of the Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association at the national-level, and use that momentum as a platform to showcase the incredible diversity and talent of our members. I want to congratulate Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II on his election as the next Chair of the DLGA, and I look forward to continuing helping elect and re-elect more Democratic Lieutenant Governors next year." The DLGA also welcomed three new members to its Executive Committee: California Lt.
