Disclosures provided under state law last week provide a glimpse behind the curtain of Nevada’s political world and offer a first look at the strength of candidates in the 2014 election. Voters can see who’s donating to the elected officials and candidates who are vying for the right to make important decisions for Nevada’s communities, schools, roads, parks, health care, safety, business and the economy.
“It strikes at the heart of the public state and the process,” said Secretary of State Ross Miller of the campaign reports filed Jan. 15. “The public should be able to discern from publicly available information who is funding campaigns.”
