LETTER: Gov. Lombardo sees red

LETTER: Gov. Lombardo sees red Al Garth, Las Vegas July 18, 2026 - 9:01 pm Gov. Joe Lombardo was stopped by a Metro police officer for allegedly running a red light, according to the Wednesday Review‑Journal. The writer maintains that the governor did not actually run the light, as reported in the quality and the newspaper. The incident, described as a close‑call red‑light violation, did not involve any request for special treatment from the officer, who opted not to issue a citation. Democrats are seizing on the episode because Lombardo is a Republican, aiming to boost their nominee’s chances in the November election.
