Nevada Attorney General to be featured speaker at Monday's Carson City Democratic tele-luncheon
Aaron D. Ford, Nevada's 34th Attorney General, will be the featured speaker at next Monday's Democratic tele-luncheon. After two years in office and with two years left in his current term, General Ford will present a halftime recap of his accomplishments so far at the state and national levels, and the continuing challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
On September 1st the AG announced that he had sent his office's biennial report to the Legislature detailing the progress and accomplishments his office had made to date, based on a set of policy priorities referred to as “the C's.” These priority areas include constitutional rights, criminal justice reform, consumer protection, client service and community engagement.
A few of the AG's accomplishments highlighted in the report include:
Responding to a global pandemic to minimize the loss of life in Nevada and keep hundreds of Nevadans in their homes;
Saving over $1.2 billion taxpayer dollars by vigorously defending the State and providing quality client advice;
Securing tens of millions of dollars in settlement funding and federal grants which serve our most vulnerable populations, among others;
Investigating, prosecuting and defending appeals against those who seek to harm Nevadans, including murderers, abusers and scammers;
Fighting back against federal attempts to disregard the safety of our families and environment by housing weapons-grade plutonium in Nevada’s backyard;
Serving and advocating for victims of crime;
Providing robust constituent services to Nevadans seeking help, receiving over 50,000 written inquiries;
Sponsoring laws to protect Nevadans; and
Protecting our constitutional rights.
AG Ford summed the report up by saying, “Each of these accomplishments is the result of hard work and dedication by the talented members of my office. Just as I took an oath to serve Nevadans and uphold the United States and Nevada Constitutions, so too has each and every employee taken a similar oath within my office. Your health, safety, rights and future could not be more important to us.”
Sponsored by the Democratic Men's Committee, this event is scheduled for noon on Monday, December 28th, and will be held online via Zoom teleconference due to the restricted availability of in-person venues.
