Governor Steve Sisolak
Governor Steve Sisolak was born into a working-class family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where his parents, Ed and Mary worked hard to provide for their three children. After working full-time to put himself through college at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Steve enrolled in UNLV’s Graduate Studies Program, where he received a master’s degree in 1978. Motivated by his passion for education, he served on the Nevada Board of Regents for 10 years. In 2008, after 10 years as a University Regent, Steve was elected to the Clark County Commission, where he served as chairman until being sworn in as governor of Nevada. As governor, Steve is working to strengthen Nevada’s statewide economy by diversifying our industries and working to attract new fields and recruit job-creating companies to the Silver State. Steve is proud to be able to call Nevada home and is honored to serve our families as their governor.
