Meet Rory
As Chairman of the Clark County Commission Rory has managed a budget bigger than the state’s general fund for seven years, balanced it every year, and never raised taxes.
Rory, 47, grew up in Nevada attending public schools, as do his three great kids. He attended Brigham Young University, graduating with a dual degree in international relations and Spanish, and continued his studies there through law school. He and his wife, Cindy, have been married for 22 years.

"On education, I will not compromise"
There is nothing more important to Rory – and to the future of our state – than transforming our schools. That’s why rebuilding Nevada’s education system is the centerpiece of Rory’s campaign.
Rory's opponent is proposing even more cuts to education. That tells us something important: Candidates who run on cutting education aren’t committed to our kids, don’t understand what’s best for our economy, and will never have the courage to fundamentally reform and strengthen Nevada’s schools.

Rory's Record of Success
A lawyer and successful business executive, Rory currently runs one of the largest county governments in the nation, providing community, social, and business services to more than 2 million residents.
The county’s $6 billion budget is bigger than the state’s general fund, and for seven years, Rory has balanced the budget without raising taxes, while implementing a rainy day fund to hedge against economic downturns. And he led the effort to crack down on lobbying, prevent conflicts of interest, and eliminate gifts to elected officials. The Las Vegas Review-Journal called him “ethical to a fault.”
