The endorsement highlights not only O’Donnell’s background as a successful small business leader but also the areas where his stated platform aligns closely with Lombardo’s approach to governing Nevada.
“As a world-class composer and small business leader, Marty O’Donnell brings real-world experience and skills that will serve Nevadans well in Congress. He knows how to create opportunity, support families, and strengthen our communities.

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo’s Endorsement
The statement gives O’Donnell a high-profile boost from one of Nevada’s most recognizable Republican leaders. More importantly, it frames the race around themes that are likely to matter to voters heading into November: a stronger economy, job growth, government accountability, support for workers and middle-class families, and community safety.
O’Donnell’s campaign has leaned heavily into his real-world experience. Before entering politics, he built a national reputation as a world-class composer and entrepreneur, working in competitive industries where results matter. That background gives him a different profile from the typical candidate. His supporters argue that he understands what it means to manage budgets, meet expectations, work under pressure, and make decisions that affect employees, families, and communities.
Marty O’Donnell Has Clear Priorities In Nevada Congressional Race
The governor’s statement points directly to O’Donnell’s small business background and his ability to create opportunity. In a district where many families are feeling the pressure of rising costs, economic uncertainty, and concerns about the future, O’Donnell is making the case that Washington needs more leaders who understand the private sector and the challenges facing working people.
01
Economy & Opportunity
A stronger economy and job growth remain central to that argument. O’Donnell’s platform focuses on policies that allow businesses to expand, workers to prosper, and families to build a more secure future.
Affordability
02
Jobs & Small Business
His campaign speaks to voters who want a government that encourages opportunity rather than making it harder for employers and workers to move forward. Small businesses need room to grow.
Local Economy
03
Community Safety
Community safety also remains a key part of the alignment. Both Lombardo and O’Donnell have emphasized the importance of safe neighborhoods, stronger communities, and policies that protect families.
Public Safety
Government Accountability
Practical Results, Responsible Leadership.
Government accountability is another point of agreement between O’Donnell’s message and Lombardo’s broader governing style. Both emphasize practical results, responsible leadership, and a government that answers to the people it serves. For voters frustrated with waste, fraud, gridlock, and political posturing, that focus may resonate.
Workers & Middle-Class Families
Fighting for Nevada’s Middle Class.
O’Donnell has also placed strong emphasis on workers and middle-class families. His campaign argues that Nevada families deserve leaders who understand the cost of living, the value of good jobs, and the importance of keeping communities strong. That message connects directly with Lombardo’s endorsement, which specifically points to O’Donnell’s commitment to backing small businesses and fighting for the middle class.
The Clear Choice for Nevada’s Third District.
As the race moves forward, Lombardo’s endorsement gives O’Donnell a clear argument to present to voters: his campaign is rooted in experience, accountability, economic growth, worker support, and community safety. For Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District, those issues may define the conversation through November.
