My name is George “Eddie” Lorton and I am asking for a few minutes of your time with this video to allow me to introduce myself to you more personally.

I fight for citizens, not for special interest groups or friends. I’d love for my reputation to earn your vote for Reno Mayor. Thank you for watching. If this video speaks to you, please forward it along to your friends.

Thank you, Reno. It is a pleasure to call this community my home for my 57+ years.

These Are My Beliefs

Pay Down Our $1 BILLION Debt

  • The city owns hundreds of millions in surplus
    property we can sell – instead of giving it away.
  • Proceeds from surplus property can pay down our
    city debt and fund needed new police and fire stations,
    while keeping senior fees and taxes low
  • The city is spending millions on the homeless shelter
    when it’s the county’s responsibility to place & pay for
    it. We must work with the county but its their fiscal
    obligation, not ours.

Fiscal responsibility

  • Open closed fire stations and pools – instead of
    frivolously renting whale art pieces
  • Move ice rink back to the river where it earns
    $110,000 a year and people want it there.
  • Stop the $1 million a year subsidy to the ballpark.
  • Make sound business decisions.
  • End giveaways to friends
  • The city wasted $2.5 million on the ADP payroll
    system after being advised for two years that the
    system would not work for them
  • Affordable housing plan.
  • Wasting $7 million on the RGJ Building
    for the new police station instead of using
    city-owned land and saving the $7 million.

Look After Our Citizens

  • Made the ballpark pay $1.8 million in back taxes.
  • Sponsored turning the arch lights blue once a year
    since 2012 to honor fallen police officers.
  • When the previous City Council tried to run for
    another 12 years against term limits, I took them to the
    Nevada Supreme Court and won – honoring what 80
    percent of the people had voted for!

End Dysfunction at City Hall

  • End sexual harassment and lawsuits at City Hall.
  • End favors to political friends.
  • Stop appointing unqualified people to important
    positions.

Good morning, fellow citizens!

My name is George Eddie Lorton and I am running for Mayor of Reno. Words can't express how excited I am for this campaign. The positive responses and messages of support have been very uplifting and I thank you for that!

If elected, the thing I am most looking forward to is working with people. As a long time business owner and participant in local politics, I have made some good relationships with some of the good people working over at City Hall.

I am hoping for the opportunity to stand with the good people who make things in our Biggest Little City function and do what we can to elevate this city. One major goal I have if elected, is to keep Reno livable for our Reno residents. This city is growing and I want to represent citizens in a way that allows us all to grow with it. Careful consideration to the importance of budgeting, specifically for core issues like for police, fire, and public works is the way I can do that best. Budgeting and responsible spending is a strength of mine.

Reno's citizens are made up of all different walks of life. It is my intention to treat every single citizen with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Thank you for considering me in my ongoing #CitizensFirst campaign and helping me to bring #goodgovernment to the Reno City Council. On election day, I hope to have earned your vote.

Thank you,

-EL

Another good decision

Reno needs strong leadership that won’t cater to special interests.

Eddie Lorton isn’t afraid to tackle the tough issues!
