Stephen F. “Steve” Sisolak (born December 26, 1953, age 72) is a businessman and liberal Democrat currently serving as the Governor of Nevada, having been elected to the position during the 2018 midterms. Previously, he served in the Clark County Commission, having been the chair from 2013 to 2019.
Governor of Nevada
2018 election
Sisolak ran for and won the 2018 Nevada gubernatorial election, defeating Republican opponent Adam Laxalt by 4% of the vote.[1] This coincided with the concurrent Senate election where then-incumbent RINO senator Dean Heller lost to Democrat Jacky Rosen by a similar margin.[2]
Tenure
HCQ denialism
- See also: Hydroxychloroquine denial
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]
