Integrated and fact-checked primary campaign source material provided by independent candidate Danielle Ford's campaign (DF33: 2026 Media Issue Brief). The document establishes defined campaign positions on multiple defining statewide policy debates that were previously absent from her launch platform, accompanied by comprehensive statutory verifications, legal qualifications, and complete general election candidate guides.

• • Statutory & Constitutional Fact-Checking: Verified all newly stated platform positions against Nevada law. Confirmed that abortion rights through 24 weeks (NRS 442.250) are protected from legislative or executive alteration by Article 19, Section 1 of the Nevada Constitution (1990 Question 7 referendum lock). Documented that establishing a state lottery requires amending Article 4, Section 24 of the Nevada Constitution (two consecutive legislative sessions plus a general election referendum). Verified that AB 289 (2019) previously eliminated mandatory third-grade retention in Nevada.
• • Complete Reproductive Rights Guide: Upgraded compare/issues/abortion.html from placeholder to full general election guide, featuring Joe Lombardo (SB 131 signature vs. Question 6 opposition), Aaron Ford (national litigation champion for mifepristone/EMTALA and Question 6 leader), and Danielle Ford (medical privacy and NRS 442.250 statutory protections), complete with a 7-point comparison matrix.
• • Complete Government Transparency Guide: Upgraded compare/issues/transparency.html with detailed investigative analyses of Joe Lombardo (Badge Gate ethics settlement, 501(c)(4) Service First Fund, SB 60 veto), Aaron Ford ($140K+ AGA corporate travel, outside counsel contingency fees, sealed traffic stop bodycam records), and Danielle Ford (procurement audits, closing sole-source loopholes, ban on disappearing messaging apps, nonpartisan primary access).
• • Cross-Site Candidate Cards: Added candidate cards for Danielle Ford across all active issue guides (Education, Economy & Taxes, Housing, Gun Safety, Crime, Healthcare, Environment, Reproductive Rights, and Transparency).
• • Research Profile & Sources: Updated Research Profile—Danielle Ford to Version 1.1, added master source DF33, and added dedicated source indexes for Reproductive Rights (AB1–AB5) and Transparency & Ethics (TR1–TR6).

Integrated findings from an August 31, 2026 investigative report by The Lever and The Cool Down (Daniel John) regarding campaign finance, tech industry super PAC donations, and data center tax abatements into candidate profiles, the Technology & Surveillance issue guide, and master source records.

• • $2 Million Super PAC Donations: Documented May 2026 Nevada Secretary of State C&E filings showing $1,000,000 in contributions from venture capitalist Ben Horowitz (Andreessen Horowitz) and his wife Felicia to the pro-Lombardo Better Nevada PAC on May 11, followed three days later by Gov. Lombardo releasing a video publicly defending data centers, and a subsequent $1,000,000 contribution from Jessica Roy (spouse of Switch CEO Rob Roy) on May 21.
• • Resource & Abatement Stakes: Sourced state data showing Nevada has granted over $340 million in tax abatements to data centers since 2021, while proposed facilities could consume water equivalent to 150,000 households annually and triple grid demand.
• • Candidate Responses & Contrasts: Detailed Aaron Ford's attacks alleging pay-to-play influence and his justification for an immediate abatement moratorium and evaporative cooling ban; Gov. Lombardo's denial of donor influence, defense of economic diversification, and plan to dedicate tech revenues to K-12 classrooms; and Danielle Ford's condemnation of billionaire PAC donations and call for an independent subsidy audit.
• • Sources Added: Added source citations TECH13 (The Lever / The Cool Down investigation) and TECH14 (Nevada Secretary of State Aurora C&E quarterly filings).
