Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo will meet with voters in Nevada next week to announce a run for governor, according to online event listings posted by an election committee.
The Committee to Elect Joe Lombardo announced four meet-and-greets with Lombardo on Eventbrite, an event management and ticketing service.
“Come meet Sheriff Joe Lombardo as he announces his run for Governor!” the event pages say.
Lombardo was scheduled to appear Sunday in Pahrump, Monday in Reno, Wednesday in Carson City and Thursday in Elko. He was set to make a separate appearance Monday morning at Rancho High School in Las Vegas.
Last month, Lombardo confirmed reports that he planned to run next year, telling KRNV-TV in Reno, “Yes, I am,” when asked if he was entering the race.
Lombardo is running as a Republican in a bid to unseat Democratic incumbent Gov. Steve Sisolak.
Lombardo was elected sheriff of Clark County in 2014 and won reelection in 2018.
North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee, who recently changed his party affiliation from Democratic to Republican, has also announced a run for governor.
Joey Gilbert, a Northern Nevada attorney who has questioned the results of the 2020 presidential election, is running as well.
U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Nev., said last month he was weighing a campaign. And former U.S. Sen. Dean Heller, a Republican who lost his reelection in 2018, is testing out a potential run, speaking to rural Republicans at two events this month alongside announced candidates.
