Political Quotes

“in the mid-1960's, when I first decided to seek political office, I ran for a seat on the hospital board of trustees for Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital. This was not considered a political plum, nor did the race engender much public attention. For me, however, it was incredibly significant, as most firsts are. I mention this because during that campaign, I met a man who, without motive or want, came to me offering support and assistance in my campaign. He owned a pawn shop in downtown Las Vegas, heard I needed help, and offered it. Since then, I have been the lucky beneficiary of Jerry Jory's support as a friend, as an advisor, and as an ally. And he has never asked for anything in return--because that's the kind of guy he is. On Friday, June 16, Jerry will be honored by the many friends he has made at a special tribute sponsored by the Las Vegas Police Protective Association. I can say, without hesitation, that there is no one more deserving of this attention than my friend, Jerry Jory.”
