LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford is officially launching his campaign for governor.
State lawmakers will join him at a launch event on Monday at 11 a.m. when he announces his bid for the top office. Before that, he’ll host a prayer breakfast at his home church and visit a local small business.
“I’m running for governor because Nevadans need a fighter in their corner. I will work to lower the crushing cost of housing and prescription drugs, strengthen our public schools, and ensure every community in Nevada is safe,” Ford said in a news release.
The news comes roughly two weeks after state senator Nicole Cannizaro announced she’s running for AG.
Ford assumed office as Nevada’s top lawyer in 2019 and was reelected in 2022. He’s served under two governors, Steve Sisolak and current Governor Joe Lombardo. Ford has spent several years in the Nevada legislature, where he held leadership positions in the senate.
Nevada’s gubernatorial election is on November 3, 2026.
