Dan Schwartz Interview - Nevada Treasurer, Candidate For Governor On Las Vegas Oakland Raiders Deal Dan Schwartz is the sitting Nevada Treasurer, having served in that capacity since 2015. The former Marine has threw his hat into the ring to run as a GOP candidate for Governor, seeking to replace the termed out Brian Sandoval. In this interview, we talked about what the Nevada Treasurer does, his objections to the deal that was crafted to bring the NFL's Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas (though he wants the Raiders in Sin City), his work in causing Nevada to avoid financing the poorly-financed Faraday Future factory, and his concern for the troubled Nevada education system. Among all candidates in the gubernatorial race, Mr. Schwartz is alone in wanting to actually cut the fiscal size of the Raiders deal, believing that the team should shoulder more of the monetary load in paying for its own stadium - and the public should direct that extra money to pay for education. "I am not sure I can stop the funding, he said to me, "but I can stop the roads," referring to the public's part of the deal where the Nevada Department of Transportation would pay for some road upgrades. In talking about the Raiders deal, Mr. Schwartz also promised to put curbs on the culture of lobbyists and legislators working only for their "pet projects" via a bipartisan approach and the use of the veto pen. He wants to start with repairing the Nevada education system. In our talk, Mr. Schwartz consistently raised the question of how Nevada could allow its education system to decrease to such a poor state - he wants to fix it. The Army Veteran and Princeton University graduate said one of his main motivations for running for Governor of Nevada was seeking the 15 lobbyists hired by Sheldon Adelson to make deals and push the Raiders Stadium project to what was a very close vote in a Republican-dominated Nevada Legislature at the time.
