Kidd Campaign Stop in Fallon

Greg Kidd is running for Congressional Nevada District 2 as a Nonpartisan candidate against the incumbent Republican Mark Amodei. He made a campaign stop in Fallon at The Grid Market and Brewery on Sunday, September 29. Kidd stated that he spent part of his life in New Hampshire, whose motto is “Live Free or Die,” so his campaign slogan, “Free, Fair, Wild,” fits right in. He wants to create jobs and improve the quality of life for Nevadans. 

Candidate Kidd has experience in outdoor leadership and is concerned with keeping Nevada’s lithium processing in Nevada. The processing is now outsourced to China, and then the lithium is shipped back to the United States at a safer level for manufacturing. He wants to keep the jobs and the lithium processing within Nevada for a positive financial impact. He works with the Federal Reserve and knows the policies required to help Nevada prosper as a state.

He has personal experience with startup investing, having started the first bicycle messenger business in New Zealand. Jack Dorsey, who later became the founder of Square and Twitter, hacked into his company. Greg Kidd hired Mr. Dorcy on the spot, sight unseen, knowing his capabilities would find the weak points in his business and its internet. 

He believes Nevada needs to improve its infrastructure for future generations. Greg Kidd is in favor of term limits for Congress and the Senate but would prefer that the voters vote incumbents out of office over enacting term limits. He also went on to say that he is in favor of personal rights, including women’s right to choose, as well as personal responsibilities. 

He said that he fell in love with Nevada for the great outdoors it holds. As a bike racer, he enjoys Nevada’s trails and their challenges, along with the beauty.
