Nevada talk radio host Alan Stock has been appointed to Joe Lombardo’s Antisemitism Work Group, a panel charged with developing policy recommendations to address rising antisemitism in the Silver State.
The group aims to give Jewish community leaders and other voices a seat at the table. Members will share real experiences and propose ways the state can respond. Those recommendations are due by April 15 and will help shape ideas for the 2027 Nevada legislative session.
I was grateful to host the first meeting of our Antisemitism Working Group today.

Too often, task forces and advisory panels are heavy on talk and light on results. This group plans to stay focused on practical steps. It’s about safety, accountability, and respect for the law.
Alan Stock’s appointment is notable because he is not a career bureaucrat.
Nevadans know him as a blunt, plainspoken voice who has spent decades talking about public issues that affect everyday people.
Whether listeners agree with him or not, they know where he stands. That kind of honesty is important when dealing with a serious issue like antisemitism.
National groups such as the Anti-Defamation League have reported sharp increases in antisemitic incidents in recent years, especially after major world events that spark tension and protest. Nevada has not been immune.
Incidents at schools, on college campuses, and online have raised concerns among parents and community leaders.
Governor Lombardo has made public safety a central theme of his administration. Creating this work group fits that approach.
When hatred is tolerated, it spreads. When it’s normalized, violence follows. When it is confronted early, communities are stronger and safer.
Supporters of the work group say it is about prevention as much as response. That includes education, better coordination with law enforcement, and clear consequences for criminal behavior.
Critics on the left worry about the potential limiting of free speech, but there’s a line between simple speech and criminal acts or harassment. The work group’s focus is on protecting people, not policing opinions.
For Nevada conservatives, this is also about trust. Voters want to know that their governor is listening to real people, not just activists or national groups.
By bringing in voices like Alan Stock, the administration signals that it values open discussion and common sense.
As the April 15 deadline approaches, Nevadans will be watching to see what the work group produces.
The hope is that the recommendations are practical, limited, and focused on results.
In a state built on freedom and personal responsibility, standing against antisemitism should not be controversial. It should be common sense.
