Lombardo Outlines Priorities Through 2030, Continues Regulatory Review

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo announced a multi-year policy plan extending through 2030 as he campaigns for re-election. The plan, reported on September 3, 2026, spans healthcare, education, housing, and economic policy issues affecting the state. Separately, on August 18, 2026, Lombardo signed an executive order launching a new review of Nevada state regulations aimed at reducing bureaucratic barriers for businesses. Among the priorities outlined in the 2030 plan are efforts to train more doctors, nurses, and health professionals in Nevada, paired with incentives designed to keep them working in the state, and an expansion of telehealth partnerships intended to extend specialized medical expertise to every county. The plan also references a federal land sale described as supporting the development of up to 6,000 new homes in the Las Vegas area. On education, the plan sets a goal of having all children reading at grade level by third grade and includes support for school choice initiatives. Economic proposals include an annual sales tax holiday timed around the back-to-school season and measures intended to shield ratepayers from higher power bills linked to subsidizing data center electricity use. The regulatory executive order builds on a prior directive from Lombardo's administration that resulted in more than 900 regulatory changes approved across executive branch agencies, departments, boards, and commissions. As of the reporting, the 2030 priorities list represents an announced platform tied to Lombardo's re-election campaign, with implementation details, funding mechanisms, and legislative requirements not fully specified in available reporting. The status of the federal land sale, including timing and finalization, remains unconfirmed beyond its announcement. The new regulatory review executive order has been signed, but the scope, timeline, and specific target of additional changes under this second order were not detailed in the available coverage. It remains unresolved how many of the housing, education, healthcare, and tax proposals will require legislative action versus executive authority to implement.
