Posted Oct 21 at 4 PM
Las Vegas Review-Journal (Oct 21)-- EDITORIAL: For the Assembly Endorsements in Southern Nevada Districts 18 through 42
The voters of District 37 will choose between incumbent Democrat Marcus Conklin and Republican Ron "Garrett" Giarratano. Although we disagree with Mr. Conklin on a variety of policy issues, including the need for PERS reform, we like his open-minded approach to problem-solving and his willingness to vigorously debate ideas. Mr. Conklin has 15 years of business experience and a master's degree in economics, and he'll continue to serve the residents of District 37 well. The Review-Journal endorses Marcus Conklin.
