2022 NV Governor's race: on Health Care


Joe Lombardo: Denounces state public option law as BS

[On coverage]: "The governor can make that a priority," Lombardo continued, referring to Sisolak. "He said his priority is health. And he's talking about (bull----) things like the public option." Sisolak last year signed Nevada's public health care option into law. Lombardo's campaign said, "the actual benefit of this public option bill has not been made evident, and Nevadans don't deserve to suffer through the beta test for this bad public policy, which was rushed through the Legislature."

Joe Lombardo: Mask mandate didn't work, it was political theater

Lombardo also criticized the state's mask mandate as ineffective, saying that as head of Metro, he did not see a noticeable change in COVID infection rates among its 6,000 employees after the mandate went into place. Sisolak lifted the state's mask mandate in February, after putting it in place on July 30, 2021. "In my personal opinion, the mask didn't work. It was political theater to me."

John Jay Lee: COVID: Unvaccinated, gets COVID, opposes mandates

Lee, a 65-year-old cancer survivor and former state lawmaker who was elected mayor in 2013 and reelected in 2017, announced his positive test in a Facebook post--without explaining why he had not been vaccinated. A review of Lee's Facebook and Twitter accounts showed he had not expressed skepticism about its safety or effectiveness--though he had questioned vaccine mandates and any policies that could require Americans to disclose whether they had been vaccinated.
