Governor-elect Aaron Ford has named three political veterans to lead his transition team as he prepares to take office in January. Ford, who defeated Republican incumbent Joe Lombardo in the November election, will be inaugurated on January 4 in Carson City.
Attorney Molly Forgey will serve as the transition team's executive director, with Jorge Costa as deputy director and Tai Sims as chief spokesperson. Forgey has experience with congressional campaigns and the Nevada State Democratic Party, while Costa and Sims served as political director and communications director, respectively, on Ford's gubernatorial campaign.
"My priority is to ensure Nevada has a seamless, responsible transition of power," Ford said in a statement. "This team brings deep experience across the state and local government and a clear understanding of the challenges facing Nevada families."
The governor-elect also launched a transition website, aaronfordtransition.com, which features updates from the team. The site allows the public to submit ideas for Ford's administration and provides a portal for potential appointees to share their information. Nevada counties were scheduled to certify election results on Friday.
