Joey Gilbert of Reno is a Republican candidate for governor in Nevada. The primary is June 14, 2022.

Republican governor candidates in Nevada will participate in a debate during the Clark County Republican Party luncheon at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at the DragonRidge Country Club in Henderson.

Event officials expect seven of the eight candidates to participate.

Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, who has skipped the two previous debates, will again not attend, said Paul White, the independent coordinator for the debate series.

Lombardo’s campaign told White in a letter that they will only consider debate invitations following the close of the candidate filing deadline on March 18.

Tickets are no longer available for the event, but it will be livestreamed.
