Jesse Law, the chairman of the Clark County Republican Party, wants you to believe he’s leading some sort of voter registration comeback.
He’s not.
While Law takes credit for what he calls “the strongest GOP voter registration advantage in 20 years,” the cold, hard numbers say otherwise.
They show decline, not growth.
Shrinking numbers, not expanding influence.
And while he’s busy patting himself on the back, Democrats continue to dominate Clark County – and Republicans keep losing ground.
Let’s look at the facts.
At the time of the 2024 election, Democrats had a huge voter registration lead in Clark County: over 92,000 more registered voters than Republicans.
Today? That lead is still over 88,000.
Sure, Democrats have dropped about 8,400 voters – but Republicans lost 4,500 during the same time.
That’s not a comeback. That’s a slow bleed.
Worse, while both major parties saw a little momentum during the 2024 election cycle, that fire didn’t last.
The only group that’s growing right now is nonpartisan voters – by a lot. Nearly 165,000 new unaffiliated voters have signed up in Clark County.
So while Jesse Law is spinning things as a “win,” the truth is, we’re falling behind.
And here’s the kicker: Law isn’t even involved in voter registration.
He’s not certified as a field registrar with the Clark County Election Department. He doesn’t build plans. He doesn’t run strategy.
He doesn’t get out and register people himself. Others do. Folks like myself do the hard work on the ground. He just takes credit when it suits him.
This isn’t about hurt feelings. It’s about results – or the lack of them.
Republicans in Clark County are stuck in neutral.
We aren’t registering new voters at the rate we need to. We aren’t competing for independents. We aren’t giving conservatives, especially younger ones, a reason to get involved.
And yet we’re told everything’s fine.
It’s not fine.
Leadership means more than posting selfies on X and declaring “mission accomplished” after a minor dip in Democrat numbers.
That’s not leadership. That’s show business.
Meanwhile, Nevada Republicans are still reeling from the 2022 and 2024 elections. We’re watching a blue county get bluer, while the Clark County GOP continues to spin its wheels.
To be fair, some defenders of Law say he’s doing the best he can.
They argue that Clark County is just too tough for Republicans. They blame the media, the schools, the unions, or the Democrats’ data machine.
Fine. Those are real challenges.
But if your house is on fire, you don’t blame the weather. You grab a hose and start putting the fire out.
Jesse Law seems more interested in blaming the storm than doing the work.
Look, winning elections is about math. The side with the most votes wins.
That starts with registering voters, building lists, knocking doors, and following up. It means investing in the hard stuff: outreach, training, and organization.
Not press releases. Not slogans.
And certainly not pretending like losing fewer voters than the other side is some sort of grand achievement.
This is Clark County. It’s the largest population center in Nevada.
If we want to flip the state, we have to make gains here. We need real strategy. Real accountability. Real leadership.
Jesse Law had his shot. And the numbers show that what he’s doing isn’t working.
If we keep going down this same road, we’ll get the same results in 2026. More losses. More excuses. More wasted time.
It’s time for something new.
We need leadership that isn’t afraid of hard work. Leadership that doesn’t just chase clout but builds coalitions. Leadership that focuses on results, not headlines.
We don’t need spin. We need action.
And we need it now – before it’s too late.
