Political Quotes

“I rise to pay tribute to Stan Colton, a man who has dedicated his life to serving the people of Nevada. Stan hails from my hometown of Searchlight. In fact, he lives there today, on the same property that his grandfather and father owned. He runs a little grocery store and he owns the town's original gold claim, the Duplex. Stan has served the people of Nevada in many different capacities. He was administrative coordinator in the Clark County District Attorney's office, the Voter Registrar of Clark County, and the Nevada State Treasurer. After he left the Treasurer's office, Stan worked with the Las Vegas--Clark County library district, where he managed the capital construction program that built 21 new libraries. He retired from that job but came out of retirement a few years ago to help the city of Henderson build a new library. Stan has also been active in many civic groups, most recently as the President of the Henderson Rotary Club. He is stepping aside on Friday evening, and the members of the club will gather at that time to give him a good sendoff and share their stories about Stan. Please join me in thanking Stan Colton for his service to the people of Nevada and the Henderson Rotary Club.”
