"I’ll continue to do everything in my power to stop Gavin Newson from imposing his left-wing agenda on Nevada. As long as I’m your governor, I won’t ever accept Californians telling Nevadans what to do or making us pay the price for their bad ideas," Lombardo said, according to an excerpt shared with Fox News Digital ahead of delivery.
Lombardo, speaking at Rancho High School in North Las Vegas, where he graduated and launched his first campaign for governor four years ago, also spotlighted his accomplishments while emphasizing the "unfinished business" to secure Nevada's future.

The DGA argued that Lombardo "twists himself into knots trying to defend his disastrous agenda that has left Nevada’s working families and small businesses behind."
The Nevada Democratic Party tied Lombardo to President Donald Trump, slamming the governor for what they charged was his "embrace of Trump’s reckless policies, all of which have led to worst-in-the-nation unemployment rates, a growing housing crisis, and sky-high costs."
