Q&A with Governor Brian Sandoval
If you talk to Brian Sandoval long enough you realize that his politician persona belies a man whose core is as Nevadan as they come. He graduated from University of Nevada, Reno and is for all intents and purposes a lifelong Nevada resident. He has made cutting down a Christmas tree in rural Nevada an annual family tradition. He fishes and hikes in the mountains of Northern Nevada. He’s a husband and a family man, and his campaign that won him the Nevada Governorship was on the strength of listening to state business leaders and educators on a personal level.
On January 3, Sandoval officially takes over as Governor of Nevada, after serving as Nevada’s attorney general and as a federal judge in Reno. He spoke with Nevada Magazine Editor Matthew B. Brown in early December.
