Meet Zach
Zach has served as Nevada’s State Treasurer since 2019, where he’s been focused on delivering results for Nevadans and their families
Over the last six years, Zach has worked tirelessly to protect and grow Nevadans’ hard-earned tax dollars, keeping the State’s finances on solid ground even amid economic volatility nationwide. Through his leadership, the State of Nevada has earned two credit rating increases and has put a record amount of money into the Rainy-Day Fund.
​
Whether in the halls of our State Capitol, directly in the local community, or on the picket line standing in solidarity with workers – Zach believes that every Nevadan should have the opportunity to get ahead. ​

During Nevada’s economic downturn in 2020, Zach led the largest aid program in the State’s history, providing over $100 million in emergency grants to 9,400 small businesses and non-profit organizations, preventing them from shutting their doors.
When renters were at-risk of being evicted and homeowners were in jeopardy of losing their homes, Zach fought to keep people in their homes, establishing the State’s emergency rental assistance program.
And when families of children with disabilities were dealing with the effects of school closures and struggling to gain access to quality medical care, Zach launched a first-in-the nation program to provide families with emergency funds to help them continue caring for their children.
​Over the last six years, Zach has worked to provide vital funding for programs and projects designed to preserve Lake Tahoe, support Nevada’s incredible open-space and conservation areas, and help local fire departments deal with worsening wildfires
Prior to serving as Treasurer, Zach assisted in the creation and preservation of over 3,000 jobs in Nevada by helping small businesses expand and hire more people.
Zach is running to be Nevada’s next Attorney General because Nevadans deserve someone who isn’t afraid of rolling up their sleeves to take on the big fights.
​Whether it's protecting Nevadans from overreach by the federal government, leveling the playing field for workers, families, and small businesses, or finding ways to deliver results for Nevadans who are struggling - Zach has the experience to get things done.
Zach graduated with a B.A. from Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration and holds a J.D. from UNLV's William S. Boyd School of Law. He and his wife Layke are happily raising their three kids and two dogs in Las Vegas.
