Son of controversial Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy announces run for governor

By Riley Snyder and Michelle Rindels

March 8th, 2018 - 10:31am

Ryan Bundy, the son of controversial Mesquite-area rancher Cliven Bundy, plans to run for governor in 2018.

Bundy told The Nevada Independent in an interview on Thursday that he plans to file to run for governor as an independent on March 14, and will run on the same state sovereignty principles that made him and his family household names during a 2014 armed standoff with the federal government over unpaid grazing fees.

“The state of Nevada needs someone who will stand up for statehood, and recognize that Nevada is a sovereign state, not just a province of the U.S.,” he said.

Bundy, who was acquitted and released from an Oregon court in November following charges that stemmed from the takeover of the federally owned Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, said he didn’t believe any of the current candidates for governor would enforce Nevada’s “constitutional” right to all land and resources within the state.

Someone to peel off a few percentage points from the Republicans. These assholes can’t go five minutes without attention, can they?

And why wait until the last day of candidate registration? I went with a friend running for office just yesterday. It took ten minutes, start to finish.
