Jason G. Smith is the Libertarian candidate for County Commission in District F, which encompasses North
Las Vegas, and much of the West Side. Jason is running against incumbent Susan Brager. Jason is the only
candidate with a plan to fix our schools, cut spending, reduce bureaucratic inefficiency, eliminate regulations
which throttle the local economy, and restore and expand the personal and economic freedoms that can make
Las Vegas the city of opportunity. Jason Smith is the only candidate for County Commission who believes that
adults are better able to make decisions for themselves than government officials can make for everyone.

Ed Uehling is the Libertarian candidate for State Senate in
District 10, the economic engine of Nevada and the most
exciting and attractive tourist destination in the world. Ed
is running in a two-way race against Democrat Ruben
Kihuen. Today’s government restricts job development
and growth, and fosters a culture in which the
government picks winners and the public loses. As your
State Senator, Ed Uehling will work tirelessly to reduce or
eliminate the government’s job killing regulations, and to
return as much of your money to you as possible. Unlike
his opponent, Ed opposes the job killing margin tax,
supports a progressive voucher system to address our
educational crisis, will introduce common sense reforms
to our bloated and inefficient bureaucracy, and will adopt
proven free market solutions to the problems that plague
our state.

Steve Brown is our Libertarian candidate for The US House of Representatives in Congressional District 4.
Steve is a dealer at the fabulous 4 Queens Hotel and Casino, as well as a small business owner. Steve learned
the hard way that government regulation is a major impediment to the economy. He will work hard to end
the regressive and unnecessary taxation on tips which have a disproportionate impact on low wage service
employees, and to end the devastating War on Drugs. Steve also opposes warrantless wiretaps and indefinite
detention as proscribed in the NDAA and Patriot Act, the collection of meta-data by the NSA, and the war
without end in the Middle East. Steve will also take action to address the 17 trillion dollar national debt, rather
than expand it.

LPNevada has been very impressed with Richard
Scotti. If elected, he will be a fantastic judge as we
believe he will be fair and uphold the constitution
at all times. Please support Richard!

is one of the only judicial candidates (including
incumbents) who has an actual plan to make the
court system more efficient! Please support Craig!
Monti Levy will be a great family court judge! We
trust she will be fair and always put the children’s
interest first. She has been a great supporter of
LPNevada so we ask you to support her!

support him for judge! We feel he will bring
integrity into the court room. Please support Joe!

Assemblyman Carrillo! He has an amazing record
in the assembly pushing for common sense bills
and we look forward to working with him!

Libertarians and the Liberty Movement. She
believes in limited government and wants to
continue fighting against waste, fraud and abuse.

Endorsement Committee. We reviewed her plan
for the Secretary of State’s office and we like her
ideas to make Nevada business friendly again!

The Libertarian Party of Nevada has partnered with PollVault to present our 2014 Libertarian Voter Guide.

Advisors are PollVault users who are willing to
share their ballot choices with others to help
inform their ballot decisions. Anyone can become
an Advisor on PollVault either by making their
ballot public or by accepting an individual

actors), or individuals.
If people tend to ask your advice on upcoming elections, congratulations - you’re already acting as an Advisor!
By sharing your advice on PollVault, you now have single place to direct those seeking your well-informed
points of view.

The Libertarian Party of Nevada (LPNevada) knows that in order to grow we must first be able to fulfill the
essential functions of a political party. It's time to get back 2 basics! The LPNevada leadership spent the past
year working tirelessly to build a strong foundation for the party. During this time, we moved to a divisional
structure and created over 60 leadership positions. Each month, we are identifying and placing new leaders
while getting more and more organized.
If you like the new direction of LPNevada please help us by contributing and/or joining the Party.
As a contributor (member) to the Libertarian Party of Nevada, you are investing in the future of Liberty for
the people of Nevada. With the attacks by the legislature on our rights, and the disappointments that are our
elected officials, we face challenging times in our beautiful state. Contributions from our membership keep us
fighting strong. Your contributions will help us continue to build a strong foundation to grow the party, appeal
poor court decisions, support our candidates, and lobby for freedom oriented legislation (and the repeal of
bad legislation). The Party must be equipped to send political mailers, recruit and organize volunteers, and
buy television and radio ads. We are driven by the fact that so many people are Libertarians but just don't
know it! Our goal for this membership drive is to communicate with these individuals and let them know we
exist.
Monthly contributions help us to plan future initiatives and budget for the most effective approaches. As a
Libertarian Party of Nevada donor you are taking a direct part in advancing liberty in Nevada!
People have said in the past that the Libertarian Party is not a real force in politics; let's change that together!
This is your chance to help us become an effective political party! LPNevada is about to take off and we want
you with us. It's time to get serious!
Please review our membership levels and select which level is best for you.

Questions
1
Creation of a State Intermediate Appellate Court
Every appeal, no matter how frivolous, goes to the Nevada Supreme Court. As a result, the Supreme Court
is extremely overworked, and it often takes two to three years to get a decision. Appeals courts can assign
cases to individual judges, rather than have them reviewed by panels of three justices. Although the
Libertarian Party would prefer to reduce the caseload by streamlining red tape and eliminating victimless
crimes, we don’t expect the government to take the dramatic necessary action on time to address the
problem. Therefore, the Libertarian Party of Nevada regretfully supports a “Yes” vote on Question 1.
2
Mining Tax Cap Amendment
The Libertarian Party of Nevada supports question 2. The Libertarian party believes that taxes are too high
across the board, however, selective tax breaks distort incentives and lead to a misallocation of resources.
The impact of selective tax breaks is ultimately the same as the impact of direct subsidization. The goal of
removing the cap should be to create a more level playing field. It is important that the additional revenues
created by the removal of the cap, if there are any, should go towards paying down Nevada’s debt, or
reducing the nominal tax burden (assuming tax rates on mining are ultimately raised to parity by the
legislature). Once they’re at parity, we look forward to working with the mining community to ensure that
across the board taxes are lowered.
3
Margin Tax for Public Schools Initiative
The Libertarian Party of Nevada wholeheartedly, unanimously, and without reservation, opposes the Margin
Tax. This policy, if enacted, will be deeply destructive. Many small businesses operate on smaller margins
than this tax allows them to keep, and will have to close. The impact on investment, employment, real
wages, and access to goods and services will be detrimental in the extreme. It’s beyond the pale that there
exists a segment of the population here in Nevada who would impose such a measure upon themselves and
their neighbors. This kind of avarice and disregard for the basic principles of economics demonstrates
thoroughly why there is such a need for a Libertarian Party in the first place. Vote “no” on Question 3.

TOM JONES
