Nevada Secretary of State business filings

NVSOS records for 6 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.

Auditor research leads

2 detector flag(s) on file for this lobbyist

The Nevada Political Establishment auditor cross-references this lobbyist against every Tier A/B/C/D/E1 detector.

Most flags reflect structural patterns the public has a right to see, not necessarily violations.

Methodology · All auditor findings

Tier D Adverse-interest — represents both regulator and regulated industry Direct submit correction

1 regulator-side client(s): Nevada State Apartment Association. 1 industry-side client(s): Grand Sierra Resort & Casino. Same lobbyist arguing on both sides of a regulatory question is the structural conflict signal. Citation: Stigler 1971, Olson 1965, Tullock 1967.

Tier D Donor-as-state-contractor — clients are state vendors who contribute politically Direct submit correction

1 of this lobbyist's client(s) appear in Nevada state-vendor payment records (checkbook.nv.gov, FY 2019-2025) AND make political contributions. The pattern is the rent-seeking signal under Buchanan/Tullock 1962. Citation: NRS 333 / NRS 332 (state purchasing), NRS 294A.
