Recommending Tarkanian
Editor:
From 2004-2005, I proudly served as president of Sierra Nevada Republican Women. Subsequently, I was elected northern director of the Nevada Federation of Republican Women. As a reminder, the Nevada Federation of Republican Women Bylaws, revised Oct 21, 2023, specifically states that “failure to support the GOP ticket, or supporting one Republican candidate to the exclusion of other Republican candidates in a primary election is cause for removal of a club from membership.” I took the aforementioned bylaws very seriously while I was an active participant in Republican organizations. Still, now I am hearing that endorsements from some of these organizations of one Republican candidate over another may occur in the upcoming election.
Although I may no longer hold office, but from my experience in Republican politics for two decades, I would like to recommend one candidate for re-election on the County Commission, Danny Tarkanian. I have admired Mr. Tarkanian’s work on the commission for the past three and a half years. His weekly newsletters provide excellent transparency into the dealings of our government. His Small Business Saturday and Adopt a Pet videos are enjoyable and helpful to the community. He hosts regular Town Halls and patiently listens to and answers questions from his constituents, but most importantly, he responds quickly and effectively to constituents’ concerns.
It’s imperative that we recognize the value of the services Mr. Tarkanian provides. Losing him would be a significant setback for our community and the Republican Party.
