Drew Ribar for Nevada Assembly 40

Drew Ribar: Putting the "Service" Back in Public Service

Why I’m Running: The System is Broken because Bureaucrats Broke It

I am a proud American, a proud Nevadan, have been running businesses in Nevada for decades, and a firm believer that District 40 should be the best place to live in the greatest state in the union. But right now, the average voter is being crushed by a system designed by—and for—unaccountable bureaucrats.

My two main competitors are the very architects of the problems we face:

• The Ex-DMV Director: While in power, she oversaw the creation of ad-hoc regulations and "fake laws" that bypassed legislative oversight and penalized small businesses and everyday drivers.

• The Ex-Ethics Director: A career bureaucrat whose family has directly participated in the weaponization of "trespass" laws to stop citizens from exercising their First Amendment rights on public roads.

I am running because I’ve seen the corruption firsthand. I’ve fought it in the courts, and now I’m ready to fight it in the Assembly.

The Solutions: Accountability, Transparency, and Liberty

I am a Constitutionalist and a Fiscal Conservative. My mission is to return power to the people by:

• Cutting "Soft Costs" to Lower Housing Prices: Did you know that government regulations add nearly $100,000 in "soft costs" to every new home? This is why a $13,000 home in 1974 costs $1,000,000 today. By slashing these unnecessary regulations, we can make the dream of homeownership affordable for Nevadans again.

• Ending Regulatory Abuse: I will end "ad-hoc rulemaking." Agencies like the DMV and NTA should follow the law, not invent it. One of my first priorities is eliminating compulsory motor vehicle emissions testing, which would put an estimated $65 million back into the pockets of Nevada consumers annually.

• Fixing Education through Choice: Our schools are facing massive deficits despite record funding. I support School Choice to ensure that money follows the student, not the bureaucracy, forcing the system to improve through competition and parental empowerment.

• Securing Our Borders & Enforcing Law: I believe in LEGAL immigration and respect those who follow our laws. We must seal our borders and ensure our communities are safe from the homelessness and crime crisis that unchecked policies have created.

A Government That Serves You

Government should be smaller, taxes should be lower, and every public official should be accountable to the people they serve. I have spent the last few years auditing the system and exposing the rot—now, I’m asking for your vote to help me clean it up.

Let’s bring accountability back to Carson City. Vote Drew Ribar for Nevada Assembly District 40.
