Joey Gilbert Makes Campaign Stop in Fallon

Joey Gilbert Makes Campaign Stop in Fallon

Author: Rachel Dahl

In a fiery campaign stop last Friday night at The Grid, Joey Gilbert told local voters why they should vote for him in the upcoming election for Governor of the State of Nevada.

Reminiscent of old-style fire and brimstone with none of the mealy pandering and stale, repetitive campaign speeches, Gilbert whipped the crowd into an optimistic, excited band of supporters.

“This feels like politics should be,” said a local woman who brought her two sons, age 12 and 10. “Joey is clearly a leader, it makes you feel like there is hope.”

Introducing his daughter, who is homeschooled, Gilbert said, “it's these kids who have been my motivation this past year and a half.”

Originally engaged in the political process when his father, a Marine contracted COVID, Gilbert said he researched remedies and got his dad on Hydroxychloroquine. “Within a couple of hours, he was feeling better. Then there’s this political nonsense game they played when our scumbag, political governor banned this medication. I’m sorry I’m going to talk a little brashly here, but when you’re putting kids in masks, and when you’re banning early treatment medication, when you’re closing our businesses and closing our churches, you’re a degenerate scumbag.”

Gilbert filed a lawsuit against Governor Sisolak in April of 2020 for access to early treatment medication. “In the rural counties when we don’t have access to critical care, we have a problem if we don’t have treatment to early care.”

He said he ended up declaring to run for governor because when he saw what was going on it didn’t make a lot of sense. Speaking specifically about canceling high school sports, he said, “We were the only state in the nation, they took our kids’ basketball, meanwhile we’re watching the university play.”

Gilbert said he was recently endorsed by General Michael Flynn, “He is an absolute patriot, a conservative who wants to see an America first, a Nevada first candidate,” said Gilbert.

On his website, GilbertforGovernor.com Gilbert said his entire platform is explained. “I wrote the whole thing, I don’t have a general consultant, I did it myself.” He lists four issues that are the most important to him as a father and candidate: election integrity, COVID mandates which he said he will ban the first day he is elected, schools including changing credit recovery and restorative discipline, as well as crime and funding the police.

“More money is not the answer for education, it’s not a money issue. Florida funds are at the same level as Nevada and they are third in the nation. It is a pandemic of failed leadership issue and that’s what we’re going to fix,” said Gilbert. The Quality Counts ranking places Nevada at 50 of 50 states this year. 

Gilbert also sued the governor last year to open churches, saying, “Strip clubs were open, casinos were open, but our churches were closed. We ended up losing in federal court, but we took them to the 9th Circuit, and we got all Nevada churches open 10 days before Christmas.” 

Taking questions from several attendees, Gilbert talked with the crowd for nearly two hours, staying after to talk one-on-one and pose for photos.

At this point, Gilbert faces several declared Republicans in the primary election that will be held on June 14, 2022: former U.S. Senator Dean Heller, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee, and venture capitalist Guy Nohra.

Filing begins March 7, 2022, and closes March 18.

He seems like the only candidate who actually would veto the dumb legislation the Democratic super majority would try to pass. Plus we need a Governor from Northern Nevada because Las Vegans live in a different world than the rest of us.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
