Hard Yaka co-founder and partner Greg Kidd announced that he has filed to run as an Independent candidate for Nevada’s 2nd congressional district in the upcoming 2024 fall election.
From the announcement:
Kidd, a job creator with experience in finance and technology who is also passionate about preserving Nevada’s natural resources, has a vision for Nevada’s future. “Nevada deserves an independent candidate who will get things done for the people of Northern Nevada. With Kidd in Congress, Nevada comes first, political parties second.”
A first-time candidate, Kidd has a history of working with both political parties to create jobs and economic opportunity. Kidd strongly supports women’s reproductive freedom, including abortion rights, and aligns with Northern Nevada’s commitment to fair markets and self-reliance.
“Nevada already has the world’s largest lithium deposits, and with careful management, this $1.5 trillion asset can benefit all Nevadans,” said Kidd. A strong advocate for vocational and outdoor learning, Kidd intends to expand opportunities across the state. “Nevada has everything it needs to be an economic leader and great place to live, and I intend to catalyze Nevada’s next 100 years of prosperity.”
