Marty O’Donnell Receives Endorsement From Governor Joe Lombardo In Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District
Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo’s endorsement of Marty O’Donnell for Congress in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District is drawing attention to a campaign message built around public safety, law and order, economic opportunity, and stronger communities. The endorsement places O’Donnell alongside one of Nevada’s most prominent Republican leaders and highlights the policy areas where their stated priorities strongly align.
Real-World Experience, Practical Leadership
O’Donnell, a successful small business leader and nationally recognized composer, has centered his campaign on practical leadership and real-world experience. His message is focused on families, workers, small businesses, and communities that want safer neighborhoods and more opportunities. Rather than running as a political insider, O’Donnell is presenting himself as someone who understands responsibility outside of government, including what it takes to manage budgets, meet deadlines, build a career, and make decisions that affect others.

Aligned on Public Safety, Law and Order, and Opportunity
01
Public Safety & Daily Life
For voters in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District, public safety is not simply a campaign talking point. It touches nearly every part of daily life, from the security of local neighborhoods to the health of small businesses, schools, tourism, and families planning their future. O’Donnell and Lombardo both place strong emphasis on the idea that communities cannot prosper unless people feel safe and laws are enforced consistently.

02
Law and Order in Nevada
Their shared focus on law and order also reflects a broader concern among many Nevada residents who want elected leaders to take crime, drug trafficking, border security, and community safety seriously. O’Donnell has made clear that protecting communities must be a core responsibility of government, while Lombardo’s endorsement reinforces the idea that O’Donnell’s priorities are in step with Nevada’s current Republican leadership.

Opportunity For Families
Beyond public safety, the two also align on creating more opportunities for Nevada families. O’Donnell’s small business background gives him a practical view of how jobs are created and how economic decisions affect workers, employers, and household budgets. He speaks often about the need to support the middle class, reduce unnecessary burdens on businesses, and help families build a more secure future.
Economic Growth
“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. He is committed to backing our small businesses and fighting for Nevada’s middle class, and I’m proud to endorse him for Congress in Nevada’s 3rd District.”
— Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo
Why The Endorsement Matters
Public Safety, Law and Order, and Stronger Communities
The endorsement is significant because Lombardo has made public safety and restoring law and order central themes of his leadership in Nevada. O’Donnell’s campaign echoes many of those same concerns, especially when it comes to protecting families, supporting safe communities, and ensuring that government remains focused on the issues that directly affect everyday life.
That focus on opportunity is a key reason the endorsement may matter as the race moves toward November. Lombardo’s statement frames O’Donnell as a candidate who understands both economic growth and community strength. O’Donnell’s campaign, in turn, is using that alignment to show voters that his priorities are not abstract political ideas but grounded in concerns Nevada families face every day.
The Center of His Campaign Through November.
With Governor Lombardo’s endorsement, O’Donnell’s priorities, including public safety, restoring law and order, supporting small businesses, and expanding opportunity for Nevada families, will likely remain at the center of his campaign for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District.
