<\/p>\nIf you meet her, she seems nice.\u00a0 If you talk to her, she actually sounds coherent some of the time.\u00a0 But make no mistake, Denise Mraz is 100% cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I met this woman a few months ago.\u00a0 She was trying to latch onto Dennis Hof\u2019s campaign for Nevada State Assembly District 36 – which he won on Election Day with 68 percent of the vote despite the fact that he tragically passed away three weeks earlier.<\/p>\n
So, when she started was sniffing around Dennis\u2019 campaign – which I was managing – looking for work, I did a little checking up on her.<\/p>\n
She told me she had recently quit the gubernatorial campaign for Ryan Bundy \u2013 which Bundy\u2019s campaign said wasn\u2019t true; that they fired her.<\/p>\n
This, after being released from Dan Schwartz\u2019s GOP gubernatorial primary campaign.\u00a0 Here, I\u2019ll let David Colborne of the Libertarian Party explain this one\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember when Denise Mraz, his Clark County campaign chair for a time, showed up to a Libertarian Party event and, when asked what her candidate\u2019s position on education was, proceeded to rant about fluoridated water and chemtrails. Naturally, we reached out to Schwartz directly to confirm whether this was official campaign positioning.\u00a0 It was not \u2013 she was removed from her position within the campaign shortly afterward.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Not one person I spoke with who knew her and\/or had experience working with her had anything good to say about this woman, either as a campaign operative or as a person.\u00a0 Not ONE.<\/p>\n And it became readily understandable why; she\u2019s nuts\u2026but I mean that in a good Christian way.<\/p>\n As such, I advised Dennis to humor her but not let her within a country mile of the official campaign.\u00a0 So instead, she tried to go around me and latched onto Zack Hames, Dennis\u2019 personal assistant, appointment secretary and driver.<\/p>\n I warned Zack to keep this fruitloop away from Dennis and the campaign, but apparently he had his own agenda.\u00a0 Indeed, in the closing weeks of the campaign, Zack was already counting his post-election chickens and promoting himself as Dennis\u2019 legislative chief-of-staff\u2026which was never going to happen.<\/p>\n What happened next after Dennis\u2019 death on October 16th is so sad.<\/p>\n Just three days later, Mraz sent Zack a \u201cLegacy of Hof\u201d proposal \u2013 a copy of which I obtained \u2013 that is as absurd as it is delusional.\u00a0 Get this\u2026<\/p>\n On Friday, October 19, 2018 at 12:44 pm, Mraz wrote a grammar\/spelling-challenged email to Zack reading\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cZach, Let’s kick some ass togther. I’m ready if you are.\u00a0 I wish I could self fund, but I can’t, this is too sudden. Let me know what we can work out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In a follow-up email to me, she says she \u201cmet with Zach and he thought it was a good idea.\u201d\u00a0 Their proposal includes the two issuing a \u201ctransition statement\u201d claiming \u201cDenise was to share Chief of Staff duties with Zach for the session.\u201d<\/p>\n She went on to describe what their statement would say\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cWe had worked together on issues and solutions up until now and it was to be formally announced after the election we were to be a team.\u00a0 Today, we plan to fulfill the Legacy of Hof because this is what the people choose.\u00a0 We\u2019ll reiterate the points of his campaign.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cA team\u201d?\u00a0 No, they weren\u2019t.\u00a0 Dennis and I had discussed the staffing for the 2019 session several times after the primary, and plans were in place that didn\u2019t include either one of these individuals in any capacity whatsoever.<\/p>\n Mraz went on to outline her plans to be named as Dennis\u2019 replacement after the election\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cZach to float a trial balloon with all seated incumbent friendlies at Lincoln, clark and nye including Tisha black, cindy lake and trish marsh\/comm E to ask for their support.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Um, except Black, Lake and Marsh all lost their bids for the Clark County commission.\u00a0 Small detail.<\/p>\n Cuckoo Puff then went on to note that Nye County, because of the weighted formula for selecting a replacement, would actually control the vote.\u00a0 As such\u2026<\/p>\n \u201c(T)hat would leave us with Strickland, cox and hopefully trenner. Clark would have lake, black and Sisolak, Gibson endorsing me (Sisolak \/Gibson would love to get rid of me).\u00a0 So the public message is Legacy of Hof is endorsing Denise Mraz and asks the commissions to consider her for the appointment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Somebody\u2019s been sniffing her own chemtrails.<\/p>\n The appointment is going to be made\u00a0BEFORE<\/u>\u00a0new county commissioners are sworn in next January.\u00a0 Which means Deborah Strickland in Nye won\u2019t get a vote.\u00a0 And Tina Trenner lost her primary way back in June and wasn\u2019t even on the general election ballot.<\/p>\n Again, Lake and Black didn\u2019t win their elections \u2013 and again, wouldn\u2019t be sworn in even if they had until after the decision had been made.\u00a0 As for Clark County Commissioners Steve Sisolak and Jim Gibson, it\u2019s doubtful either even knows this woman exists, let alone \u201cwould love to get rid of\u201d her.<\/p>\n Mraz was\/is so delusional, she even included in her memo to Zack a copy of a business card she designed to hand out while seeking the appointment.\u00a0 Good grief.<\/p>\n Now, here\u2019s the kicker from this money-grubbing opportunist\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cDenise Compensation:\u00a0 I am proposing a compensation of $9,000.00 up 10\/20 until 11\/6 and the original Hof campaign fund taking over all campaign expenditures and they can be recorded on my PAC for Don\u2019t California Our Nevada.\u00a0 If we are successful, I am budgeting another $2500.00 to get us through 11\/7 to the 1st of Jan.\u00a0 Once we are appointed, I would like to be paid $35,000.00 for the session.\u00a0 I cannot self -fund at this time on this schedule.\u00a0 Once we get past the first session, let\u2019s draw up a long term plan. If the need should arise, I am counting on your attorneys to protect any residual or related issues, they will undoubtedly take me out somehow as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n $9,000 from Dennis\u2019 campaign coffers, plus expenses, for TWO WEEKS\u2019 work?\u00a0 And then getting paid $35,000 from an outside PAC, again funded with Dennis\u2019 money, to serve in the Legislature?\u00a0 This is truly hallucinogenic thinking from a warped, delusional mind.<\/p>\n And the bizarre ramblings continued with a recent manifesto she posted on Facebook\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cIn working with Dennis Hof on his Campaign strategy, Denise Mraz helped get Dennis to a posthumous win despite all odds.\u00a0 By identifying mechanisms of Agenda21 and providing actionable, legislative remedy to rectify symptomatic harm, we won.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n WTF?<\/p>\n To be clear: Denise Mraz had\u00a0NOTHING<\/u>\u00a0to do with Dennis\u2019 campaign strategies or his win on Election Day.\u00a0 This is a sad and troubled woman living in an alternative universe.<\/p>\n That she and Zack conspired to cook up this \u201cLegacy of Hof\u201d campaign to get her appointed to Dennis\u2019 seat almost immediately after his death is just plain sick.\u00a0 The woman needs professional help.<\/p>\n As Jack Nicholson so famously put it in the movie\u00a0As Good As It Gets<\/em>, \u201cSell crazy someplace else, we’re all stocked up here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you meet her, she seems nice.\u00a0 If you talk to her, she actually sounds coherent some of the time.\u00a0 But make no mistake, Denise Mraz is 100% cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
