Open Letter to Nevada Republicans: Stay Home. Lose Nevada
Politics isn't some distant game played in Washington.
It's your street. Your school. Your paycheck.
It's your daughter's locker room. The safety of your neighborhood.
And right now, you're about to lose all of it.
Not someday. Not eventually. This November.
They’re coming for our right-to-work laws, which means unions can force you to pay dues just to keep your job.
They're coming for your paycheck. A state income tax. Higher property taxes on the home you've spent a lifetime paying off.
They're coming for your vote. Every erosion of election integrity means your ballot counts for less.
They're coming for your daughter's privacy and safety, with policies that put biological boys in girls' locker rooms and sports.
They're coming for your community's common sense, replacing it with a “woke” agenda that puts ideology ahead of your family's wellbeing.
This isn't abstract. It's happening in Clark County right now.
And here's what should keep you up at night: it's already almost happened.
Race after race here has been decided by a handful of votes.
City Council seats. County Commission seats. Legislative seats.
Sometimes by hundreds of votes. Sometimes fewer.
That means your vote isn't symbolic. It's the margin.
When conservatives stay home, we don't just lose. We hand the other side the win, free of charge.
Think about what you'd be handing over.
A legislature where Democrats get a supermajority and Governor Lombardo's veto pen runs out of ink.
Streets that get less safe. Schools that get weaker. A cost of living that keeps climbing.
Small businesses buried under more red tape. Families keeping less of what they earn.
A Nevada that stops rewarding hard work and starts punishing it – just like California.
None of this is hypothetical. That's the default outcome if good Republicans sit this one out.
So I'm asking you directly. Not to hope. To act.
Make a plan today. Mark your calendar for November 3rd.
Talk to your spouse. Your adult kids. Your neighbors. Your church friends. Your coworkers.
Get them to the polls. Drive them if you have to.
Remind them that skipping this election doesn't mean staying neutral. It means handing power to people who want to remake Nevada into California's failures.
We don't need perfection. We need turnout.
The races are close enough that a few hundred people staying home could cost us everything we've built.
And close enough that a few hundred people showing up could save it.
Organize your neighbors. We can help you identify Republicans and conservative-leaning nonpartisans in your area.
Show up. Vote. Bring others with you.
Let's take back our local governments. Let's take back the legislature.
Let's protect the Nevada that still believes in freedom, family, and common sense, before it's gone for good.
The people who show up decide what happens to the people who don't.
Be one of the people who shows up.
Want to help turn Clark County red? We need you.
Volunteers. Precinct captains. Poll watchers. Ballot harvesters. Financial support.
Every role is a piece of the wall between Nevada and what they want to turn it into.

With urgency and resolve,
Jill Douglass
Chairwoman, Clark County Republican Central Committee
