=2018 election

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.[3] He was later found having hoarded the drug,[4] reportedly so it could go to prisoners.[5] Subsequently, Sisolak was sued in late April by doctors, and it was noted that his Chief Medical Officer did not have a license to practice medicine.[6]
