Morgan supports Wehrly

First, I would like to extend my deepest thanks to everyone who supported me in my race for Sheriff of Nye County. I received an overwhelming amount of support along the way. I want to extend a very special thanks to all of those who put in thousands of hours working tirelessly on my campaign. I met so many great people that it was truly an honor to be in the sheriff’s race.

I want everyone to know that I am not going anywhere and I am truly invested in working towards making Nye County a much better place for the citizens and seeing that trust and accountability are restored to the NCSO.

After taking much time to consider how I will move forward and meeting with several people, I have decided to make an announcement today.

Out of the two candidates moving forward to the general election, only one truly shares my platform of high morals and ethics, protection of the citizens, defending and upholding the United States Constitution, and holding those accountable who break the law without exception.

I am the officially endorsed candidate for sheriff by the Nye County Republican Party and as the Republican endorsed candidate, I am giving my endorsement and full support to Sharon Wehrly for sheriff of Nye County.

Waste of water not best option for community

I suppose the established power in Vegas would rather have money and jobs than water.

The rumor has it that water may be rationed there within a year or two. I would pray that the powers that be in Pahrump might be more wise.

I am against the RV park and the lake at the racetrack or anything that wastes one drop of water.
