What an excellent time to be an American. Every week Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, gives a weekly report called the ‘Maga Minute.' This week, Hyundai, Rolls Royce, and Schneider have agreed to invest billions right here in America in manufacturing automobiles. We will be imposing a 25% tariff on foreign auto imports, which is a tax. We only charge a 2.5% tax on expensive cars imported to the US from Europe, while Europe places a 10% tariff on American cars imported to Europe. President Trump is leveling the playing field for the US workers. President Trump is a deal-maker, so hold on. We don’t want to be a country that consumes products; we want to make goods here in our own country (a national security imperative). Also, this past week, President Trump invited Medal of Honor Recipients to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The President took a measure to make DC Safe and Beautiful Again, and lastly, they captured a notorious MS-13 Gang Leader. Every week, he increasingly does this for us, the citizens of the United States. We are in the American Golden Age. #RepublicansMustVoteInEveryElection. #AllElectionsHaveConsequences. #IPledgeToVoteIn2026.
Our Membership for March was last Thursday, March 27. Our speaker was builder Tom Metcalf. The discussion for the evening centered on the Hop and May Adams Foundation's proposed plan for the “Town Plaza,” located near the Carson Nugget. Mr. Metcalf shared ideas about the plaza plans and answered numerous questions. For me, essential facts that I took away were that the Hop and May Adams Foundation’s project is separate from Carson City’s Town Hall project, the Adams Foundation’s mission is to use their funds for the betterment of Carson City, and the vision is to create a vibrant downtown with a plaza as a gathering place for friends and families. When considering our future, we must keep Carson City vibrant so that there will never be a chance for our Capitol to be moved to Las Vegas. Also, we do need a small convention center here in Carson City. We do not have a facility that can hold an event with more than 400 people. This would be beneficial for Carson City. We will be posting the meeting online soon.
Most voters are extremely busy with their personal lives. Our website (www.carsoncityrepublicans.com) posts essential information for Carson City, Nevada and Nationally. We are working at making the website a go-to site for events, urgent info on legislation, and all things for the Carson City Republican Party. We anticipate that in the future, you will be able to find all the things that are politically crucial to you.
You are welcome to ask us to post events, and if we believe the event is in line with our Republican values and our bylaws, we will happily share them on our event page.
Please go to our website and sign up to receive information. We do not share or sell your information with anyone.
It is hard to believe we have another election in just eighteen months. Local elections are just as important, if not more so. Why? Because they affect you more directly in the short the short term. I can promise you that the CCRP is going to work just as hard to get every Republican out to vote. Our Governor, Joe Lombardo, will be up for reelection in 2026. It is your responsibility to research the candidates running for office, but I can assure you that we must ensure the reelection of the current Governor and the Lt. Governor. On June 21, 2023, the Governor Vetoed 75 Bills that the Democratic Legislature tried to pass. These were largely Marxist-driven bills that would have further taken our state to a state like California or Washington. Attorney General Aaron Ford is planning to run for Governor. Ford wants to turn Nevada into a Sanctuary State. Ford believes transgender individuals should be allowed in the military, girls' locker rooms and girls' sports. 80% of the American population does not believe biological men belong in Girl's Sports. In November, Governor Joe Lombardo praised the Wolf Pack volleyball women players for boycotting San Jose State, who has a trans player on their team. Our Governor was one of 9 Governors who asked the NCAA to bar transgender athletes from women's sports. People have asked me recently what Governor Lombardo has done. I am enclosing a list of some of the key achievements the Governor has carried out in the last four years:
Governor Lombardo spearheaded the most significant investment in education in Nevada's history, with over $2 billion added to produce a record education budget.
Legislation signed by Lombardo paved the way for North Las Vegas and Henderson to apply to become public charter school sponsors, expanding educational choice in the state.
In two years, Joe Lombardo has reduced the employee vacancy rate from 25 percent to half that.
Governor Lombardo signed legislation improving charter school students' transportation and invested in pre-K education.
When Democrats pushed rent control bills that would've increased housing costs and reduced availability of rentals, Lombardo stood firm and vetoed their dangerous bills.
When Democrats tried to restrict Nevadans' 2nd Amendment liberties to defend themselves with new, unconstitutional gun control laws, Lombardo vetoed them.
I have also enclosed the Governor's letter because Attorney General Ford stated he would not comply with the Trump Administration and the deportation agenda.
Governor Lombardo supports the Trump Agenda, and with our state going Red in the presidential election, we must be actively supporting our Governor. I look forward to working with you on his re-election campaign. Voters, we must make this election “Too Big To Rig.”
As we move into the Mid-Term Elections, we must be engaged and understand who stands
for Women. It appears that Democrats politicians are prepared to die on this hill even though nearly 80% of Americans do not believe men belong in Women's Sports. Lt. Governor Stavros Anthony stands with Women.
Stavros Anthony has launched a task force to protect women's sports. The irony is that Title 9 was put into place in 1972 to protect women, and now the woke agenda is to have biological men play in women's sports.
Nevada Senator Carrie Buck has introduced a bill SB112. Also introduced and headed to committee is the Assembly counterpart AB240. These bills establish the potential for penalties if schools should retaliate against a student who brings forward an issue of a school violating provisions in the law which disallow the participation of an alternate biological sex participating in a sport designated for a single sex.
Side note: Lt Governor Stavros Anthony is also up for reelection in 2026. We need to reelect him; he is excellent.
Legislation to Oppose and Support:
Support: SB112 No Men in Women’s Sports
Oppose: AB278 Muslim Bill- Legislates July as Muslim Heritage Month
Oppose: AB105 Gun Free Zone at Election Sites
Oppose: AB 245 Ban Firearms for Adults Under 21. People go into the military at 18
Oppose: SB 89 Backdoor Gun Ban with Hate Crime Provisions
Our next general membership meeting will take place on April 24 at 6:30 pm for social time, followed by the meeting at 7:00 pm.
Lt. Governor Stavros Anthony will be our speaker this month. The Lieutenant Governor will be speaking on important topics, one of which is “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.”
We will be holding an election for our Executive Board in April. We have strict criteria for running for a position on the executive board. You must be an active member for 6 months and be in good standing. The positions are Chairman, 1st Vice Chair, 2nd Vice Chair, 3rd Vice Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary. If you are interested in any of these positions, please send your bio to the Secretary at secretary@carsoncityrepublicans.com. Another key point is that you can only vote if you are a member of the CCRP. We kindly request that all members attend this important meeting, as you will be voting for your executive members.
Every month, we have excellent speakers, and everyone is welcome. You can sign up for our emails at www.carsoncityrepublicans. Our monthly meeting location is always at the Casino Fandango, 3800 S. Carson St., Craft 55 room. Everyone is welcome.
Our 'Our Constitution is Alive' class is an 11-week course that begins on April 14 at 6:00 p.m. We, the People, need to know the laws of the US Constitution. The class will be taught at the Calvary Chapel, which has graciously allowed us to use its fellowship hall. Calvary Chapel is located at 1635 E. Clearview Rd, Carson City. You may buy the study guide for $20 for the first class that evening. This class is excellent; you will learn interesting facts about the US Constitution and how the laws affect your lives. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Please Register for the class at 775 841-1800.
We are pleased to announce that the Lincoln Day Dinner will take place on April 5 at the Casino Fandango. Governor Lombardo is our Keynote Speaker. Lt. Governor Stavros Anthony will be the special guest for our VIP Reception.

If you call our office, we will add a few extra tables, but we have submitted our numbers, so we must request $115.00 for a last-minute ticket.
God Bless America, Nevada, Carson City, and You!
Susan Ruch, Your Chairman
Cheers, here's to "America the Golden Age."
But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever. -John Adams
When a citizen gives his suffrage to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country. -Noah Webster
