(Las
Vegas, NV) – Former Nevada State Sen. Sue Lowden announced today that
she will be filing paperwork this week with the Secretary of State to
create an official campaign committee LLC as she explores running for
the office of lieutenant governor in 2014.
“My experience both as
an elected legislator and a private businesswoman means Nevadans would
get someone who understands how government policies often hurt
businesses and discourages job creation, as well as how to work within
the legislative process in order to make necessary changes,” Lowden
said.
“Truthfully, I wouldn’t need much on-the-job training because I’ve already been on the job for many years.”
Lowden
commended incumbent Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, who will be term-limited
out of office next year, and added that she expects to continue pursuing
many of the projects initiated under his leadership.
“Brian has
been a terrific lieutenant governor,” she said. “I look forward to
working with him as he transitions to the next challenge in his
political and professional life.”
A strong fiscal conservative
with extensive business experience in gaming, banking and real estate,
Lowden is uniquely qualified in the area of economic development. And as
a former board member of Las Vegas Events, she has first-hand
experience in bringing events to Nevada that will boost tourism,
generate additional tax revenue without raising taxes, and create jobs
for many Nevadans who are still unemployed and underemployed.
Lowden
also announced that Las Vegas City Councilman Bob Beers, who has also
been considering the lieutenant governor’s race, has agreed to serve on
her campaign committee’s LLC board.
“Bob and I are good friends
and have spoken at length about this race,” Lowden concluded. “His
decision is that if I run, he won’t. I couldn’t ask for a stronger
endorsement than that.”
“And as for those who think I might be
afraid of taking on another tough primary race, let me assure you that
I’m no chicken…pun intended.”
