2026 SOUTHERN NEVADA VOTER GUIDE:

The Most Transparent Endorsements in Nevada Are Earned — Not Bought

As the 2026 election season approaches, Southern Nevada voters are searching for trusted information to help them make informed decisions. In a political environment often criticized for insider politics, special interests, and backroom deals, three organizations continue to stand apart through a commitment to transparency, accountability, and merit-based candidate evaluations:

VIPI Consulting, LLC., Veterans In Politics International, Inc. (VIPI), and the Nevada Veterans Association (NVA).

Unlike many political organizations that issue endorsements behind closed doors, our recommendations are earned through a public process that allows voters to see exactly how endorsement decisions are made.

No Backroom Deals. No Pay-to-Play. No Hidden Agendas.

Our endorsements are guided by a simple principle:

Every candidate must earn our support.

We do not issue pre-filing endorsements.

We do not participate in pay-to-play politics.

We do not make endorsement decisions based on campaign donations, political party affiliation, personal relationships, name recognition, or financial influence.

Every candidate is invited to participate regardless of party, ideology, incumbent status, or campaign budget.

Our focus is on qualifications, leadership, integrity, public service, and a candidate’s ability to effectively represent the people of Nevada.

Nevada’s Most Transparent Candidate Interview Process

Veterans In Politics International is proud to conduct one of the most transparent endorsement processes in the State of Nevada.

Every candidate interview is conducted publicly and broadcast live on Facebook. Interviews are also permanently archived on our YouTube channel, allowing voters to watch candidates answer questions directly rather than relying solely on campaign advertisements, mailers, endorsements, or media coverage.

This process gives voters an opportunity to evaluate candidates for themselves and understand why endorsements are awarded.

Thousands of voters have utilized these interviews to become better informed before casting their ballots.

Endorsements Must Be Earned

Candidates seeking endorsement appear before our organizations and answer questions on issues affecting Nevada communities.

The evaluation process examines:

• Leadership experience

• Professional qualifications

• Integrity and ethics

• Knowledge of public policy

• Commitment to public service

• Ability to serve all constituents fairly

Every endorsement reflects a candidate’s performance during this process.

No candidate is guaranteed support.

No endorsement is automatic.

No endorsement is for sale.

Veteran Leadership and Public Service

VIPI Consulting, Veterans In Politics International, and the Nevada Veterans Association are led by a United States Marine Corps Gulf War Veteran committed to strengthening civic engagement, promoting government accountability, and educating voters throughout Nevada.

That commitment to service continues to guide our mission today.

We believe voters deserve transparency.

We believe candidates deserve a fair opportunity to be heard.

Most importantly, we believe endorsements should be based on merit—not politics.

Veterans Organizations’ Judicial Endorsements

Veterans In Politics International and the Nevada Veterans Association have also endorsed numerous candidates for judicial offices throughout Southern Nevada following their participation in the public interview process.

These endorsements represent candidates who demonstrated the qualifications, professionalism, and commitment necessary to serve Nevada’s citizens.

Our Mission

Our mission remains simple:

To educate voters.

To provide a public forum for candidates.

To increase government transparency.

To promote informed civic participation.

And to ensure that endorsements are earned through an open and honest process.

As Nevada voters prepare for the 2026 elections, we encourage everyone to watch the candidate interviews, conduct their own research, and make informed decisions based on facts, qualifications, and performance.

Transparency matters.

Accountability matters.

An informed voter is a powerful voter.
