MINDEN – Several Nevada legislators just returned from Chicago, where the American Legislative Exchange Council, ALEC, just held its 40th annual meeting. While there, Senator James Settelmeyer was selected with seven others to receive one of ALEC’s top honors, Legislator of the Year.
The Legislator of the year award is given to legislators who have demonstrated a dedication to the ALEC principles of limited government, federalism and free market principles.
ALEC National Chairman Representative John Piscopo of Connecticut said while presenting the award, “This award is given to legislators who have gone above and beyond their call of duty, who exemplify the principles of a leader and who others look to as pillars of hard work and honesty. Leadership isn’t easy, and we should celebrate and support those lawmakers who are shining examples of strong leaders. The American Legislative Exchange Council created the Legislator of the Year Award to recognize those who have made the choice to courageously take the helms of leadership, who have embraced the strong principles that built America and who have found that intersection of happiness and moral duty.”
