December 2020 - page 1 President's Message

Greetings all, I am honored to be serving as your Nevada Republican Club President for 2021. I look forward to serving you and continuing to grow our club in both size and importance. My heartfelt thanks go out to Pauline Lee for her dedication to the club and for all the hard work she has done over her three years as our President. She made this club a force within the party and throughout Nevada. I look forward to working with her more as she joins our distinguished list of Past Presidents.

This coming year offers new challenges for our club and for Republicans both in Clark County and in Nevada in general. We made some great strides in the Legislative elections, taking away the Democrats super majority in the Assembly and picking up a seat in the Senate. That will help us all in the upcoming Legislative Session as they work to recover Nevada from the devastation caused by the Governor’s draconian measures that have crippled Nevada’s economy. There is much to do to get us back to where we were at the beginning of 2020. Our plan is to be involved as they work through the Session. We plan to provide input and to have our members testify at hearings during the Session to have our voices heard and to, hopefully, influence the actions the Legislature takes. We will need all your help to make this happen.

Our Board will meet next month for our annual retreat to develop our goals and plans for the year and to figure out the best way to have our voices heard and how we can help make Nevada better. Once we finish that, I’ll let you all know where we are headed and how you can help. We are also planning an evening social for next month and will send out the details once we finalize them. We also plan to renew our quarterly socials so that we can meet in a more casual environment to get to know each other better and to provide everyone with the opportunity to mingle and talk with folks they don’t usually get to spend time with. We will also have to begin our work for the 2022 elections, as we will work to elect a new Governor, all the state officers, Legislators, as well as Representatives to Congress and one US Senator. There is much to do and I look forward to working with you all to achieve more success.

If you haven't taken the chance yet to renew your membership for 2021, now is the time. You can do that easily through the Club website or at our January luncheon.

Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy 2021.

Dave Gibbs

Hotly Contested County Commission District C Race When all the ballots were counted in November, Stavros Anthony was 10 votes behind in his race against Ross Miller for the County Commission C race. Despite Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria’s testimony that there were 139 discrepancies discovered among the votes cast in that election and that those questionable votes exceeded the difference in the race, the Commission voted to certify the race anyway. Anthony asked for a recount, in which many of our club officers and members participated, but ended the recount 15 votes behind. Stavros’ campaign took the election to District Court seeking an injunction due to the 139 discrepancies, but the case was denied, and the County Commission again certified the election for Ross Miller. Stavros’ campaign has vowed to take their case to the State Supreme Court, seeking a new election. We look forward to his success and the opportunity for the voters on District C to have a fair and honest election.

December 2020 - page 4 Nevada Republican Club Judicial Recommendations Card Yields Successes

The Club interviewed judicial candidates and created a recommendations list for the contested judicial candidates in Clark County for the June primary and November general election. We printed and distributed 25,000 slate cards throughout Clark County and had the list printed in numerous publications. Our efforts yielded good results, as many of our recommended candidates were successful. Congratulations to those who won their judicial races.
