OPINION: Democrats’ Desperate Smears on Lombardo – He’s About to Crush Ford’s Dreams!

Opinion by Larry Waters: This is Part 9 of our 10-part series, “Lombardo’s Nevada Showdown: The Fight for 2026.”

The assault: Ford and his Democratic cronies, are throwing mud, slamming Lombardo’s economy and Trump ties, per Ford’s July 2025 campaign launch in The New York Times. Their warpath intensifies with misleading ads on costs, despite Lombardo’s proven wins, while Ford’s sanctuary city sympathies and soft-on-crime record fester.

Lombardo’s counterpunch: Armed with a $5.5 million war chest and a veto record that saved Nevada from tax hikes, per RGJ’s February 2025 report, he’s blitzing airwaves with ads on teacher raises and job growth. He earns huge props for bipartisan moves like education funding, outshining Ford’s divisive, lawsuit-happy tactics that dodge real solutions. To lock in 2026, Lombardo must hammer Ford’s weak border stance in debates, proving he’s the battle-tested leader Nevada trusts over Ford’s risky promises. Sharpen with family-focused ads that expose Ford’s disconnect.

The finale’s coming – Part 10 ties it all together, showing why Lombardo’s Nevada’s only hope.
