Lombardo Funds Surge as Ford Pushes Back | Reno News

Governor Joe Lombardo’s campaign is pulling ahead financially, raising nearly $2.3 million in the last quarter and sitting on nearly $9.2 million total, while challenger Aaron Ford raised just $1.4 million with $2.6 million on hand. Lombardo’s affiliated PACs — including the $12 million Better Nevada PAC, backed by billionaires and the Republican Governors Association, and the $2 million Nevada Way PAC — are massively outpacing Ford’s Forward Nevada PAC, which brought in $1.1 million. Despite the cash gap, Ford’s team highlights their strength in small-donor support, with nearly 13,000 contributors. Meanwhile, Lombardo’s recent viral traffic ticket video has sparked national chatter and local memes. Analysts still call the race a toss-up — but the money’s speaking louder than ever.
