CARSON CITY, Nevada — There’s a new sheriff, er, governor in town.
Former Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo was formally inaugurated as the 31st governor of Nevada on Tuesday afternoon.
“Among the family and friends and allies representing all 17 Nevada counties, I stand before you to say with overwhelming humility that I’m ready to serve as Nevada’s 31st governor,” Lombardo said in front of an estimated crowd of more than 700.
