On November 3, 2026, Nevada elected Aaron Ford as its 32nd Governor. On January 4, 2027, he goes to work for you.
He knows what it means to fight for a better life because he’s lived it
Governor-elect Aaron Ford’s dad stocked produce at Safeway. His mom took whatever work she could find. Some months, keeping the lights on was the whole plan.
At 20, after his junior year of college, he became a father. A few months later, he was raising his son on his own.
Medicaid kept his son healthy. Food stamps kept them fed. A public education gave him a chance. Those programs were never handouts. They were a promise that a country makes to its people, and Aaron has spent his life keeping that promise for others.
He came to Nevada because he believed this was a place where anyone willing to work could build a good life. He taught math in public schools. He earned five degrees, including a Ph.D. and a law degree, while he and his wife, Berna, raised four boys. He became Senate Majority Leader. In 2019, he became the first Black Attorney General in Nevada history. And in 2027, he will become the first Black Governor in Nevada history.
He’s never forgotten where he came from or who he’s fighting for.
A record of results
As Attorney General, Aaron took on the powerful on behalf of the people:
- Drug companies fueled an opioid crisis. As Attorney General, Ford made them pay more than $1 billion back to Nevada.
- Corporate landlords jacked up rents illegally. Ford held them accountable.
- Predatory lenders and scammers targeted seniors and working families. Aaron went after them.
- Fentanyl traffickers and ghost gun dealers put our communities at risk. Aaron cracked down.
- Politicians tried to take away reproductive freedom. Ford defended it in court.
Now, the work begins
Groceries cost too much. Rent costs too much. Too many Nevadans are working harder than ever and still falling behind. That’s not how it’s supposed to be, and it doesn’t have to be.
Aaron Ford is building an administration that wakes up every morning focused on one question: how do we make life better, and more affordable, for the people of Nevada?
This is your government. Let’s build it together.
