2022 NV Governor's race: on Crime


Joe Lombardo: Enact more severe penalties for violence on school grounds

Most importantly, I'm calling on the Legislature to enact more severe penalties for anyone--parents, students, teachers, and staff included--who commits a violent act on school grounds. Our state must maintain a culture that has zero-tolerance for school violence, so that we keep all individuals safe at school. Families already have enough to worry about--they shouldn't be afraid every morning when their kids leave for school.

Joe Lombardo: Sentencing reform directly related to increased crime rate

On sentencing reform, Lombardo was critical of a 2019 bill (AB236) that reduced penalties for some lower-level crimes and increased access to "diversion" programs that offer offenders treatment and services in lieu of time behind bars. "All that I do know is since sentencing has been reformed, lessening of sentences associated with particular crimes, and particular crimes of violence, the crime rate has increased," Lombardo said. "Is that directly related? Yeah, in my opinion, it is."

John Jay Lee: Doesn't know how child porn got on his iPad, called police

Lee addressed the 2014 story surrounding child pornography found on his iPad. He said he opened a link that contained the pornography and went to police as soon as he realized the material was on his computer. Both the North Las Vegas Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation looked into the situation, and the FBI ruled it did not have enough information to file any charges. "I did not do anything wrong, and I look forward to putting an end to that story," Lee said.
