Adam understands our state government must promote policies that allow Nevada’s mining industry to continue to thrive — and reject burdensome mandates and regulations that would lead to a weaker industry, job losses, and economic hardship in our local communities. He’s outlined a policy vision that prioritizes workforce development, so mining and other industries will have access to the skilled workers they need to fill high-quality jobs. He’s committed to allowing the mining industry to continue to innovate and develop the technologies that will make the industry stronger and safer. And he’s pledged to continuously examine Nevada’s regulatory structure to ensure it’s not getting in the way of mining’s ability to grow and evolve.

Adam’s opponent, on the other hand, has shown he neither understands nor cares to understand this important sector of our economy. Indeed, Steve Sisolak has shown little regard at all for any of the challenges, concerns, and pressing issues facing our vast and diverse rural communities — content to run a campaign catering almost entirely to voters in Clark County, where he’s the Chairman of the County Commission. Unlike Adam Laxalt, Sisolak hasn’t bothered to engage citizens in the rural parts of our state, who will be affected every bit as much by our next Governor’s policies as the people of Las Vegas will.
