Ford Imports California Chaos and Far-Left Rhetoric in Desperate Bid

When you are challenging a popular sitting governor who has delivered results and raised record-setting amounts of money, there is usually one obvious move. Run toward your home state. Lean into your roots. Campaign with the people who actually live there.

Aaron Ford is doing the opposite.

Instead of spending his time making a case to Nevadans, Ford is busy raising money with out-of-state extremists and aligning himself with the most controversial figures in national Democratic politics. Voters are starting to notice.

Ford’s decision to cozy up to Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and California Governor Gavin Newsom raises an obvious question. Why is a Nevada gubernatorial hopeful importing national culture-war chaos instead of focusing on Nevada families?

Crockett’s record speaks for itself. She has claimed Hispanic voters suffer from a “slave mentality.” She suggested migrants are useful for “picking cotton.” She mocked the disabled. She even defended associates tied to Jeffrey Epstein. This is not fringe Twitter noise. This is the rhetoric of someone Ford chose to associate with and fundraise alongside.

Then there is Newsom. California’s progressive experiment has become a cautionary tale for the rest of the country. Tens of billions of dollars lost to fraud. Billions more were burned on projects that never materialized. Sanctuary policies that prioritize illegal immigrants over law-abiding citizens while crime, homelessness, and the cost of living spiral out of control.

That is the brand Aaron Ford is attaching himself to.

While Ford courts out-of-state activists and cashes their checks, Nevada’s governor is governing. Joe Lombardo has delivered results for Nevada families, stood up for public safety, and kept his focus where it belongs. At home.

Ford’s strategy suggests a campaign struggling to find its footing. Instead of running on a Nevada vision, he is borrowing failed policies from California and inflammatory rhetoric from the far left. That may play well in donor circles thousands of miles away. It does not play well with Nevada voters.

As RNC Spokesman Nick Poche put it, Ford cashed their checks, and now he owns their mess. While Lombardo delivers for Nevada families, Ford is importing insanity and calling it a campaign.

Nevadans have seen this movie before. They know how it ends. And they are not buying tickets.
