Report by Janine Hansen, IAP Executive Director and National Committeeman

We made history!!! Let’s look at some of our accomplishments as the Independent American Party.

A FIRST: We had 54 candidates more than ever before and that number is correct! To see the complete list of candidates go to the IAP website at www.iapn.org. We filled all Statewide and Congressional positions and had a plethora of candidates. Clark County fielded the most candidates. In Elko County on my ballot I had 13 Independent Americans to vote for. THANKS to all of you who sacrificed to run.

A FIRST: We elected 3 people and re-elected one.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Falcon Finlinson is the new Public Administrator in Nye County. He received 6,765 votes with 51%.

Arthur Wehrmeister is the new District Attorney of Esmeralda County. He won in a three-way race with 47.96% and 188 votes.

John S. Lampros is a new County Commissioner in White Pine County. In a three-way race he received 47.11% with 1524 votes.

Remarkably, all of these successful candidates are new to the party in 2010.

Jackie Berg was reelected as Eureka County Clerk Treasurer. However, Jackie Berg won by only 3 votes and there is going to be a recount.

Statewide: We filled every statewide race and three Congressional races, including US Senate--Tim Fasano .44%, Governor,--Floyd Fitzgibbons .70%, Lt. Governor--Ryan Fitzgibbons 3.74%, Secretary of State--John Wagner 6.0%, Treasurer--Mike Hawkins 3.83%, and Controller--Warren Markowitz 4.83%.

We helped to elect Pete Livermore Republican in AD 40 who put the Assembly over the critical 15 members to stop tax increases requiring a 2/3rds vote.

AD 33, Janine Hansen received 30.43 % with 4,100 votes in a hard fought three way race coming in second defeating the Democrat. Republican Ellison spend 3 to 1 what Janine spent and had been in local office for 18 years.

Great News! We are now the second party in Elko County as the Democrats did not field any candidates except for Assembly with the IAP fielding many local candidates. See Elko report below. The Dems are dying a slow but sure death in the Rurals.
