Nevada Assembly Candidate Responds to Concerns Regarding Opponent’s Fundraising

Date:

SUBMITTED NEWS RELEASE

On Tuesday Reno small businessman Tom Stewart responded to a recent Nevada Independent article raising concerns about his primary opponent’s fundraising with the following statement:

“I have lived in Assembly District 24 for thirty-seven years and owned a small business in the district since 1982. I think the secret is out that our campaign is running strong and our opponents need to catch up quick or get left behind. Our campaign is proud to have 53 individual donors in just the first six weeks of the campaign, the vast majority coming from Reno residents and family members. Our campaign has already spoken to hundreds of area voters and scheduled dozens of house parties in the district. The situation my opponent finds herself is problematic in itself but brings up the need for a broader discussion on campaign finance and ethics reform.”

Reno small businessman Tom Stewart is expected to face Reno environmental consultant Sarah Peters and former cannabis regulator Deonne Contine in the June primary for the Democratic nomination in Assembly District 24.
