Endorsements

One measure of a candidate’s effectiveness and stature is the endorsements he or she receives. A wide range of Southern Nevada organizations take the time each election to review the record of the incumbents and the qualifications of new candidates and then make their endorsement.

William Horne has earned the recognition of a broad spectrum of groups here in our community. They’ve looked at William’s record of accomplishments and recommend his re-election.

As Campaign 2012 moves forward, this list will grow as organizations interview candidates, weigh the qualifications, and make their decisions, so please check back periodically. Here are the very early 2012 endorsements and what they say about William Horne for State Assembly District 34!
