  2. official action

    Joseph Lombardo: Matches stated direction

    His platform says Nevada should train more doctors, nurses and other health workers, and give them reasons to stay. On June 9, 2025, he signed SB 498, which gives the state's colleges $10 million a year for two years to expand nursing programs. The money was in his proposed budget, and both chambers passed the bill with no votes against. Limit: The bill pays for nursing programs, not doctor training. It does not include any incentive to stay in Nevada.

  3. official action

    Aaron D. Ford: Matches stated record claim

    His campaign says that as attorney general he urged Congress to reform how pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) do business. On February 20, 2024, he signed a letter from state attorneys general asking congressional leaders to reform PBM practices. It named three PBM bills it said deserve debate. On April 14, 2025, he signed another asking Congress to pass a law barring PBMs from owning or running pharmacies. Limit: Both were group letters signed by many attorneys general. A letter asks Congress to act; it does not change the law.
