Sheriff of Clark County
editFirst term (2015–2019)
edit
On December 4, 2013, Lombardo announced his candidacy forsheriff of Clark Countyto succeed the retiringDoug Gillespie.[11]He won the primary election and narrowly defeated the Democratic nominee, retired LVMPD captain Larry Burns, in the November 4 general election.[16]Lombardo took office on January 5, 2015.[17]As sheriff he was head of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the combined law enforcement agency of Las Vegas andClark Countyand Nevada's largest law enforcement agency, overseeing more than 5,000 officers.[18][19]
After becoming sheriff, Lombardo began the decentralization of LVMPD's detective operations, shifting detective operations from centralized crime-specific units to distribution of detectives throughout LVMPD area commands.[20]
In 2016, Lombardo connected the Las Vegas crime increase to a California law calledProposition 47,which is meant to reduceprison overcrowding.[21]Later that year, he responded to questions about a recent spike of violent crimes in Las Vegas, saying that the surge "keeps me up at night".[22][23]He later disagreed withFBI directorJames Comey's statement attributing a recent spike in violent crimes in Las Vegas to a so-calledFerguson effect.[24]In December 2016, Lombardo supported ahigh-capacity magazine ban,a call supported by theLas Vegas Suneditorial board.[25]By February 2017, Lombardo had concluded that the number of homicides in Las Vegas increased by an average of 20 each year.[26]
In September 2017, following the arrest ofSeattle Seahawksdefensive endMichael Bennettin Las Vegas, Lombardo dismissed Bennett's allegations that two police officers who arrested him used excessive force and made vulgar threats, claiming video evidence of the arrest did not corroborate the allegations.[27]
Following the2017 Las Vegas shootingatMandalay BayandRoute 91 Harvest,in which 59 people died and 527 were injured—the deadliestmass shootingin the modern U.S. history—Lombardo oversaw the investigation into the shooting and into the perpetrator,Stephen Paddock.[28][29]

editLombardo won the 2018 primary election with 73% of the vote,[30][31]defeating four challengers.[31]He was sworn in to a second term on January 4, 2019, and during the ceremony touted an expansion of the LVMPD's staff levels during his tenure (an increase of more than 900 officers and 280 corrections officers).[30][32]Later that year, Lombardo's department issued a report recommending many changes to improve the police response to future critical incidents.[33]
In June 2020, amid theGeorge Floyd protests,the LVMPD arrested six people observing a protest along theLas Vegas Strip.[34]GovernorSteve Sisolakcalled for an investigation. Lombardo defended the department's actions by releasing body-cam videos of the six engaging in "antagonizing behavior" and obstructing officers.[35]
As sheriff, Lombardo made an annual salary of $161,000.[9]
In lieu of running for a third term, Lombardo ran for governor of Nevada in 2022. He was replaced by LVMPD undersheriff Kevin McMahill.[36]
Governor of Nevada
edit
2022 gubernatorial campaign
editLombardo announced his candidacy forgovernor of Nevadaon June 28, 2021, to challenge incumbent governorSteve Sisolakin the2022 election.[12]Lombardo faced 11 other candidates, including the presumptive front-runner,Dean Heller,a former U.S. senator. Lombardo eventually surpassed Heller by double digits in the polls[37]and was widely considered the front-runner by February.[38][39][40]Former PresidentDonald Trumpendorsed Lombardo in April 2022.[41]Lombardo won the Republican nomination on June 14, 2022, with 38.3% of the vote, defeating his main competitors, including Heller,Reno-based attorney and former boxerJoey Gilbert,andNorth Las VegasMayorJohn Jay Lee.[42]On November 12, 2022, several days after election day, Lombardo was projected to win, having defeated Sisolak by roughly 16,000 votes.[43]
Tenure
editLombardo was sworn in on January 2, 2023, the same dayCisco AguilarbecameNevada Secretary of StateandAndy MatthewsbecameNevada State Controller.[7][44]On his fourth day in office, Lombardo signed two executive orders to remove remaining COVID-19 mandates and address workforce vacancies and wages.[45][46]On January 12, Lombardo signed two more executive orders aimed at reducing regulatory burdens. The orders would suspend any new regulations from executive agencies, with exceptions for regulations that would affect public health, public safety, pending judicial deadlines and the essential duties of an executive branch.[47]
In hisState of the State addresson January 23, Lombardo proposed a two-year $11 billion budget that would be the largest general fund budget in Nevada history and pledged $2 billion per biennium for K-12 education—an increase of more than 22% from the previous biennium. He also promised to restore funding to the state's higher education system and proposed adding $313 million into what he announced as the "Nevada Way Fund", a savings fund to be used for infrastructure and development projects.[48][49]On March 1, Lombardo signed legislation to transfer $70 million from the state's general fund to the education fund.[50]
In May, Lombardo proposed implementing avoter IDrequirement to roll backvote-by-mail.State Democratic legislators have said the proposal would be "dead on arrival".[51]
In June, Lombardo introduced a bill to theNevada State Legislatureto help fund a $1.5 billion 30,000-seat ballpark built on the site of theTropicana Las Vegasfor theOakland Athletics'relocation to Las Vegasvia partial public financing.[52]During a special session, the bill was amended and renamed SB1 on June 7. By June 15, he signed SB1 into law, which authorized the funding and construction of the ballpark after it passed in the Legislature by a majority vote.[53]In June 2023, Lombardo signed a bill to provide $380 million in public funding for the stadium.[54]Proponents of the public funding package argued that it would be good for Nevada's economy, while some economists argued that studies show these kinds of deals are bad investments for taxpayers.[55]
In September 2023, the work vacancy rate in Nevada stood at 24.3%, virtually unchanged since Lombardo was sworn in as governor.[56]In an attempt to lower the vacancy rate, Lombardo signed an executive order on September 18 that suspended certain minimum qualification requirements for state jobs for at least 90 days.[57]
