Governor Lombardo Endorsement
Governor Lombardo Endorses Marty O’Donnell For Nevada’s 3rd US Congressional District
Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo’s endorsement of Marty O’Donnell for Congress in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District has added an important layer of momentum to O’Donnell’s campaign, while also underscoring the policy priorities the two leaders share. At the center of that alignment are issues that matter deeply to Nevada families: public safety, restoring law and order, strengthening communities, and creating more opportunities for working people across the state.
Governor Joe Lombardo
“As a world-class composer and small business leader, Marty O’Donnell brings real-world experience and skills that will serve Nevadans well in Congress. He knows how to create opportunity, support families, and strengthen our communities. He is committed to backing our small businesses and fighting for Nevada’s middle class, and I’m proud to endorse him for Congress in Nevada’s 3rd District.” - Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo.
Lombardo’s endorsement frames O’Donnell not as a traditional political figure, but as a candidate with practical experience, real-world skills, and a strong understanding of what families and small businesses need from their elected leaders.
Why The Endorsement Matters
Shared Priorities Heading Into November.
The endorsement is significant because Lombardo has built much of his public leadership around public safety, economic growth, and restoring confidence in Nevada communities. O’Donnell’s campaign reflects many of those same priorities, giving voters a clear sense of where the two men agree and why the endorsement may carry weight heading into November.
Public safety stands out as one of the strongest points of agreement. Both Lombardo and O’Donnell have emphasized the importance of safe neighborhoods, accountable government, and policies that support law enforcement while protecting families from the consequences of rising crime. For many voters in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District, public safety is not a distant political issue. It is a daily concern tied directly to quality of life, business confidence, schools, housing, and the future of local communities.

Restoring Law And Order
O’Donnell’s message on restoring law and order fits closely with Lombardo’s broader approach to leadership. Both have argued that communities cannot fully thrive unless families feel secure, businesses can operate with confidence, and laws are enforced consistently. Their shared focus on order, accountability, and community protection speaks directly to voters who believe government’s first responsibility is to help keep people safe.
Marty O’Donnell And Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo Align On Important Policy Issues
Beyond public safety, O’Donnell and Lombardo also share a strong focus on creating more opportunities for Nevada families. O’Donnell’s background as a successful small business leader gives him a practical view of how opportunity is created. He understands that jobs, wages, entrepreneurship, and economic confidence are not created by political speeches. They are built by people willing to take risks, invest in their communities, and work hard to provide for their families.
That real-world background has become one of the defining features of O’Donnell’s campaign. Known nationally as a world-class composer and entrepreneur, he has built a career outside of politics in competitive industries where discipline, teamwork, deadlines, and results matter. His supporters argue that this experience gives him a grounded understanding of the pressures facing workers, employers, and middle-class households.
Real-World Experience Meets Nevada’s Moment
Lombardo’s endorsement reinforces that argument. By pointing to O’Donnell’s experience as both a composer and small business leader, the governor is making the case that Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District would benefit from someone who understands responsibility beyond the political world. O’Donnell’s campaign is built around the belief that Congress needs more leaders who have built something, managed budgets, solved problems, and seen firsthand how policy decisions affect families and businesses.
The two men also align on support for small businesses and Nevada’s middle class. O’Donnell has placed working families and entrepreneurs at the center of his message, while Lombardo has consistently emphasized economic opportunity, job growth, and a stronger environment for businesses across the state. Together, those priorities form a platform focused on safer communities, stronger families, and a more secure economic future.
As the November election approaches, O’Donnell is positioning himself as a candidate whose experience matches the moment. With Governor Lombardo’s endorsement, his campaign can point to a clear connection between state-level leadership and the priorities he wants to bring to Washington.
