AG Ford Formally Announces Run for Nevada Governor’s Seat

On Monday, Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford announced he is running for governor, challenging incumbent Gov. Joe Lombardo.
Amid growing Democratic enthusiasm, Washoe County Commission Chair Alexis Hill recently announced she plans to run, while Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Sen. Jacky Rosen endorsed Ford.
In a nearly 17-minute speech, Ford said `It feels like the deck is stacked against us` after leading a prayer circle at Historic Westside’s Victory Mission Baptist Church with about a dozen pastors.
In response, Better Nevada PAC branded Ford a poor candidate, with spokesman John Burke saying `Ford can't be trusted to keep us safe, represent the interests of Nevadans, or uphold the public's trust`.
On November 3, 2026, Nevada’s gubernatorial election is set, with analysts predicting it will be one of the most competitive of the cycle.
