Do campaign road signs still work, or are they clutter? On Fargo Talks, Jeff Fargo talks it through with two Nevada elected officials: Governor Joe Lombardo and Assemblywoman Danielle Gallant.
Assemblywoman Gallant explains why road signs still matter in her district: they reach the analog generation, which she says is a huge part of the community she represents. Jeff agrees they make sense for a district like hers, while noting they aren't the right fit for every campaign. Then Governor Lombardo brings the statewide view, including the advice he has been given about road signs in a statewide race and the problem he sees at a major intersection.
Governor Joe Lombardo spent 34 years in law enforcement and led the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department as Sheriff of Clark County before taking the governor's office. Assemblywoman Danielle Gallant represents Nevada Assembly District 23. She worked as a marriage and family therapist for more than a decade and ran her own real estate and property management business before winning her Assembly seat in 2022 with nearly 60 percent of the vote.
This clip comes from Jeff's full conversation with Governor Lombardo and Assemblywoman Gallant, recorded at Level Nine Studios in Las Vegas.
Do campaign road signs work?
It depends on the race. Assemblywoman Danielle Gallant says road signs are still effective for reaching the analog generation, which makes up a huge part of her district. Jeff Fargo agrees they make sense for a district like hers, and both agree they are not right for every campaign.
What does Governor Joe Lombardo think about campaign signs?
Lombardo's focus is statewide races and major intersections crowded with campaign signs, which he calls "visual pollution." In this clip he explains why, and shares what he has been told about road signs in a statewide race.
