Aaron Ford

Nevada Attorney General and Candidate for Governor

he/him

Aaron D. Ford is Nevada’s 34th Attorney General and a battle-tested statewide leader who has delivered results in one of the nation’s most competitive swing states. Under his leadership, Nevada secured more than $1.1 billion from opioid manufacturers to address the opioid crisis and over $118 million in recoveries for consumers harmed by fraud, scams, and anti-competitive practices. Ford has also defended reproductive freedom in the post-Dobbs era, helping protect Nevada’s role as a critical Western access point for abortion care.

A former Majority Leader of the Nevada State Senate, Ford has repeatedly won tough statewide races by building broad, durable coalitions. Now running for governor, he brings the executive experience, governing record, and movement leadership needed to win—and to ensure Nevada remains a national firewall for reproductive rights and democracy.
