James Settelmeyer has served 2 terms in State Assembly District 39. Settelmeyer is running for election in State Senate Capitol district, the seat vacated by term limited Mark Amodei. Settelmeyer knows that in the 2011 session of the legislature the state will face continuing and overwhelming fiscal problems. He believes that, as citizens of this state, we need to face these issues like all other issues, today and not tomorrow. Settelmeyer believes that we cannot afford to kick the can down the road and that the time to act is now. Settelmeyer is a fourth generation rancher. His great-grandfather migrated to Gardnerville, NV in 1880 with his brother from West Germany. After working on the Allerman ranch in Gardnerville for ten years, his grandfather was able to raise the money to purchase the land. Since 1880, the Settelmeyer family has been prominent in agriculture, politics and the community. If you examine Settelmeyer’s Legislative report card from NPRI you will find that he is one of only 7 state assembly representatives with a conservative record; the other 35 are not conservative. We need to elect Settelmeyer to Senate Capitol district to help move the agenda to more fiscal conservatism. In 2009, Settelmeyer voted against tax increases that were vetoed by the Governor but overridden in both the Assembly and the Senate. Again, in the special session of 2010, he voted against the tax and fee increases. Settelmeyer will work for SPENDING reform not increasing taxes and fees to businesses and individuals. For this reason, we endorse Jim SETTELMEYER for Senate Capitol district. For more information on Jim, you may go to his website: James Settelmeyer.
