Libertarian Party of Nevada Hosted "Speed Dating" Events Over 2 Days at Different Venues in Las Vegas
Endorsement Committee This year, we formed an Endorsement Committee comprised of 18 members plus additional Libertarian leadership; the “Committee.” The Committee members conducted their own independent research on each of the candidates and asked them questions at our events. The Committee members took notes and made recommendations on grades and endorsements. Endorsement Committee Chair: Jason Weinman Committee Members: Jason G Smith Jim Duensing Jason Nellis Lesley Chan John McCormack JD Smith Lou Pombo Brady Bowyer Scott Lafata Tim Hagan Brett H. 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 Libertarian Party of Nevada has the following 15 Candidate on the 2014 Ballot. Adam Sanacore, Assembly District 21 Lou Pombo, Assembly District 37 Chris Dailey, White Pine County Commission Louis Gabriel, Assembly District 32 Donald W. -
Letter from State-Level Elected Leaders in All 50 States Supporting Betsy Devos for Secretary of Education
LETTER FROM STATE-LEVEL ELECTED LEADERS IN ALL 50 STATES SUPPORTING BETSY DEVOS FOR SECRETARY OF EDUCATION January 17, 2017 The Honorable Lamar Alexander Chairman U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions 428 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Chairman Alexander, As one of the most critical issues impacting the future of our nation, we must have a Secretary of Education committed to the needs of all of our nation’s children. Betsy DeVos has made it her life’s mission to find, support and push for education solutions in her home state of Michigan and across the country. She is an advocate and ally for all children, and we write to you today to express our support for her nomination to this important position as her confirmation hearing approaches. We represent elected state offices from all 50 states, and as such, we each know the impact of an overgrown federal government reaching into the states to push a one-size-fits all approach to education. No two states, localities or school districts are the same, nor are the needs of the children who reside there. Betsy DeVos understands this distinction and for years has embraced a variety of education solutions to meet this need. Her support for an all-of-the-above approach to K-12 education – from charter schools, to public, private and online education – defines the school choice movement that has helped countless children across many of our states. By advancing these innovative solutions from the Department of Education, Betsy DeVos will put children first and empower not only states to lead the way in making critical education decisions, but also empower parents to choose what type of education is best for their children. -
Review and Discussion Regarding the 2017 Legislative Session with Possible Direction to Staff. (For Possible Action)
AGENDA ITEM# 12 SUN VALLEY GENERAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT DATE: 2-3-17 TO: Board of Trustees FROM: Darrin Price – General Manager SUBJECT: Review and discussion regarding the 2017 Legislative Session with possible direction to staff. (for possible action). Every two years the Nevada Legislature meets. 2017 is here and it’s that time again. In 2014, the District cancelled its Lobbying contract with Fred Hillerby. At that time the total expenses for the lobbying contract was $1,650.00 dollars a month year round (as to include committee meetings that can and do meet when the session is closed and networking). In February of 2015, the board unanimously approved the General Manager “to act in the lobbying capacity” for the District. Per this direction I have started to assemble a team to assist me with monitoring, tracking, networking, and attending sessions, committee meetings, and general networking to establish relationships with both legislators and their staff. I registered myself, Jennifer, and Maddy as paid lobbyist for this session. The cost to register is $300.00 dollars per person, a total of $900.00 dollars. As a registered lobbyist you can track 10 bills via NELLIS. NELLIS is the Nevada Electronic Legislative Information System. It allows for PLT: What is Personalized Legislative Tracking (PLT)? · PLT allows you to subscribe to BDRs, bills, and budgets that are of interest to you, and subsequently tag and create notes on your subscriptions. · The advantage of PLT is that you will receive immediate notifications of hearings, a daily status notification, and have access to tailored, exportable reports for the subscriptions you have chosen to track. -
