Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) -- Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Las Vegas Metro Police Sheriff Joe Lombardo in the race to become the Republican nominee for governor.
The former president made the announcement through the Save America PAC.
"As the elected sheriff of Clark County, Joe has fought some of the worst criminals and defended neighborhoods and communities from the horrific violence enabled by the Radical Left across our great country," Trump wrote. "As governor, Joe will fiercely protect our under-siege Second Amendment, oppose sanctuary cities, support our Law Enforcement, veto any liberal tax increase, protect life and secure our elections. Joe Lombardo is the leader Nevada needs, and he has my complete and total endorsement for governor!"
Lombardo, who has served two terms heading Metro, has said is running as a conservative, pro-life candidate and supporter of the Second Amendment.
