Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo's re-election campaign has released a report claiming that the policy agenda of his Democratic rival, Attorney General Aaron Ford, would cost $18.1 billion over four years if implemented. The claim, shared exclusively with Fox News, comes as campaigning intensifies ahead of a closely watched midterm election in the swing state, with Lombardo's team seeking to frame Ford's platform as fiscally reckless before voters go to the polls.

According to the campaign's calculations, the $18.1 billion figure combines government and private-sector costs stemming from Ford's proposals, with almost $8 billion of that attributed to projected Nevada state spending alone. The report was timed to coincide with heightened political activity in Nevada, including a visit by former Vice President Kamala Harris to Las Vegas for a Nevada Democratic Party fireside chat ahead of the state's 2026 primary election.
