Governor of Nevada
In October 2021, Sisolak was cited for causing an accident with an illegal turn despite many witnesses stating Sisolak seemed impaired.[1] In body cam footage Sisolak seemed to be impaired, and his wife was allowed by officers to remove “garbage” from the car before they went through it after apparently coming from a party.[2]
2018 election
Sisolak ran for and won the 2018 Nevada gubernatorial election, defeating Republican opponent Adam Laxalt by 4% of the vote.[3] This coincided with the concurrent Senate election where then-incumbent RINO senator Dean Heller lost to Democrat Jacky Rosen by a similar margin.[4]

HCQ denialism

In late March 2020 amidst the CCP pandemic, Gov. Sisolak signed an executive order that limited patients with coronavirus from accessing hydroxychloroquine as a combative measure to recover.[5] He was later found having hoarded the drug,[6] reportedly so it could go to prisoners.[7] Sisolak was also later sued in late April by doctors, and it was noted that his Chief Medical Officer did not have a license to practice medicine.[8]
Lockdown
Sisolak has been threatening the state with additional lockdown restrictions, even while virus cases were declining.[9] Notably, churches were placed on severe restrictions while casinos were allowed to open with far fewer ones, and when a church decided to meet in a casino, he fined them.
