Nevada Governor Imposes Data Center Cost Rules Ahead of Midterms

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo signed an executive order requiring data centers seeking state tax breaks to cover their own power costs, protect water resources, and prevent ratepayer cost increases. The move, effective immediately, applies only to new incentive applicants and includes provisions to claw back benefits for violations. It occurs amid a tight gubernatorial race and broader Republican efforts to address voter anxiety over data center impacts.

Nevada GOP leverages Newsom’s 2028 bid to attack Ford in tight gubernatorial race

Nevada Republicans are using California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s potential 2028 presidential run to attack Democratic gubernatorial candidate Aaron Ford. By linking Ford to Newsom’s unpopular energy policies and high fuel costs, GOP Gov. Joe Lombardo aims to turn off swing voters. This strategy tests Newsom’s viability in a key early-voting state, where he faces significant headwinds despite leading national polls.

Lombardo Skips Public Show as Trump Promotes No-Tip Tax in Las Vegas

President Trump visited Las Vegas to promote a no-tax-on-tips provision from his tax bill, but Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo did not appear publicly with him, saying he would meet separately. The event highlighted a deduction of up to $25,000 for tipped income (average around $7,100; more than six million claimants), though critics warn tipped workers could lose under broader cuts to social programs. The conversation also touched on gas prices—Nevada near $5 per gallon and national prices above $4—with officials predicting prices may stay elevated into 2027; Lombardo’s absence onstage is seen by some as distancing himself from Trump’s economic agenda.

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford Announces Run for Governor

Democrat Aaron Ford, Nevada's attorney general, has officially entered the 2026 gubernatorial race to challenge Republican incumbent Joe Lombardo, in a highly contested and pivotal battleground state. Ford, who would be Nevada’s first Black governor, emphasizes his working-class background and policies aimed at helping everyday Nevadans, contrasting with Lombardo’s moderate stance and the broader political climate influenced by Trump-era politics. The race is complicated by potential candidates like former Gov. Sisolak and intra-party primary challenges, with Lombardo holding a significant financial advantage and facing a sluggish state economy.

Lombardo's Controversial Actions in Nevada Legislature

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has called for a special session to pass a budget bill funding the state's billion-dollar Capital Improvement Program (CIP) after lawmakers adjourned the 2023 regular legislative session without passing AB521, one of the five major budget bills. The proclamation does not include mention of the Oakland A's after lawmakers did not move forward with a proposed public financing package to fund the development of a new stadium the team has sought in Las Vegas. Lombardo is expected to convene a separate special session focused on the A's proposal.
