Nevada Secretary of State business filings

NVSOS records for 1 of this lobbyist's clients

Per-client business-entity records sourced from the Nevada Secretary of State's nvsos_corporations registry, joined to this lobbyist's client roster by tokenwise-normalised name match. Includes corporation status, registered agent, formation date, and the current officer/director list as filed with the state.

Match is name-based — a client may correspond to multiple business filings (parent + subsidiary, foreign + domestic) or none at all if it is a federal entity, a political committee filed elsewhere, or a non-NV organisation. Entries with status Active are currently in good standing; Permanently Revoked, Dissolved, or Merged indicates the entity is no longer operational under that NV ID. Officer rosters are public records as of the most recent filing.

Verified profile

About this lobbyist

Every fact below is sourced; click any link to verify.

Firm: (personal email — sole-practitioner), Mayor of Boulder City, Nevada

Career: Physician (board-certified family medicine, 35+ years). Boulder City resident since 1982. Served in the Nevada State Assembly from 2002 onward, then in the Nevada State Senate representing District 12 from 2010. Currently Mayor of Boulder City, Nevada. Listed as a non-paid lobbyist for the 83rd Session under his single client: City of Boulder City, Nevada — i.e., he is the elected mayor representing his city before the Legislature. (source)

Revolving-door pattern: Physician → State Assembly → State Senate → Mayor of Boulder City, now also registered as a non-paid lobbyist for that same city. Government-lobbying-government pattern, in this case via the elected mayor himself rather than via a contracted lobbyist.

Ambiguity flag: the Nevada SOS dataset contains more than one contributor with this first/last name. The numbers and recipient list above sum across all matching name records and may include contributions from another individual sharing the same name. Cities on file for this name: BOULDER CITY, NV, Boulder City, NV, Henderson, NV, Las Vegas, NV. Treat as a research lead, not a definitive total.

This number reflects what the lobbyist has personally given to candidates, parties, and political committees in Nevada — not what their clients have given. The two channels frequently overlap: a paid advocate who also writes a personal check to the legislator they're lobbying is using both kinds of access at once.
