Congressman Jim Gibbons

In the many years I've known John Mason, I've always respected his sharp mind and quick grasp of issues.  He knows the law and has common sense, both of which are essential traits in a Supreme Court Justice.  He also believes that the judiciary's job is interpreting the law, not legislating from the bench, another view I believe is essential in a Supreme Court Justice.
 

Former Congresswoman Barbara Vucanovich

I have known and worked with John Mason for a long time, and he has consistently demonstrated that he will work tirelessly to achieve his objectives, whether those objectives are for his clients or his family or his community. I have no doubt that he will become one of the Nevada Supreme Court's most energetic, honorable, and effective Justices.

Clark County Commissioner Lynette Boggs McDonald

John Mason has a spectacular resume and a no-nonsense approach to doing his work.  He will uphold our Nevada Constitution with honor.  He is diligent and thorough in all that he does and pays attention to all seeking his assistance, which is why I am supporting his election to our Supreme Court.

Lynn Hettrick, Assembly Minority Leader

I have known John Mason since about 1988.  He is a strong leader, loyal to those he supports and his honesty and integrity will be a great asset to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Olivia Newton John

John has been my personal attorney for nearly 30 years, so you know how much I trust him and what a great job he has done for me.  He is honest, hard working and a great husband to his wife and father to his 7 children as well.  I will be sorry when he is no longer able to represent me because he is the best and most decent attorney I know.  However, I also know that he will be an incredible member of the Nevada Supreme Court because he is brilliant, ethical and really cares about the people he works for and with.

Sheriff Ron Pierini

As Sheriff of Douglas County, it has been my pleasure to represent and work with John Mason.  He is a well-known, civic-minded, and outstanding member of our community and I am proud to endorse him as a candidate for the Nevada Supreme Court.  As a law enforcement officer for more than thirty years, I have been troubled with recent decisions by the court which make our job more difficult and dangerous.  I am confident that John Mason will protect your rights as citizens and ours as police officers as well.

District Attorney Scott W. Doyle

It has been a privilege to have served as Douglas County's District Attorney for 13 years. During this service, John Mason has proven to be an outstanding member of our community and one whom the district attorney's office can count on for support.  John's service as a Judge Pro Tempore in the Tahoe Township Justice Court is one example of the uncompensated service he gives to the people of our county.  I am confident John Mason will be an outstanding Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court.

MORE ENDORSEMENTS!

Former Nevada State Senator Lawrence Jacobson

 

As a native Nevadan and the longest serving legislator in the history of our state, I have known quite a few Nevada lawyers. John Mason is one of Douglas County 's brightest and most capable lawyers. John has shown time and time again that he can quickly get to the heart of any legal matter and render a fair and well-researched opinion. He is also an active and hard-working member of this community. I wholeheartedly support his election to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Former United States Senator and former Ambassador Chic Hecht

 

I am proud to call John Mason my friend and to endorse his candidacy for Nevada Supreme Court. His organizational and administrative skills will, no doubt, improve the operations and schedule of our state's judicial system.

State Senator Randolph Townsend

 

The Nevada Supreme Court is going to face some tough and important cases in the next few years.  We need Supreme Court Justices who can examine those complex cases and render sound, impartial judgments.  John Mason has the ability to do just that.  I support him and urge others to do the same.

State Senator Dennis Nolan

 

John Mason cares deeply about the role of the Supreme Court in Nevada as the guardian of our Constitution and is absolutely committed to ensuring that this document, which empowers the people of Nevada , is treated with respect. I have utmost confidence in John and his ability to impartially and fairly interpret the law and bring honor to our highest court.

Retail Association of Nevada

John has a remarkable ability to listen to opposing arguments and render objective opinions that clarify and interpret existing law.  We believe John Mason will bring a clean new view to our judicial process. Also, because of his many years of service to this state in the political processes, RAN feels that he will respect the doctrine of the separation of powers and will fight to uphold Nevada 's Constitution.

Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong

 

As the Sheriff of Carson City, it is my pleasure to endorse John Mason as a candidate for the Nevada Supreme Court.  In personal contact with Mr. Mason, I find that we share common concerns for the direction of the Court in it's interpretation of the law and direction of Nevada 's future.  I am convinced that he will provide the public and law enforcement sectors with valued leadership through his decision making abilities.

 

Amy Harvey

County Clerk , Washoe County

 

John Mason's commitment to the law and to the people of this state will be an invaluable asset to Nevada 's Supreme Court. His legal expertise combined with his no-nonsense approach to getting a job done well make him ideal Justice. More importantly, he supports the Constitution of the State of Nevada and will apply his considerable legal talents to ensuring that our Constitution is upheld.

 

Elko Sheriff Neil Harris

I am pleased to support John Mason for Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court.  John has been a friend to Elko and to law enforcement for many years.  I know that his character and legal background will make him an excellent Nevada Supreme Court Justice, one that we can all be proud of.

Carson City Mayor Ray Masayko

Having known John for a long time, I was thrilled to learn of his decision to seek election to the Nevada Supreme Court.  Our Court needs someone with his extensive background in business law, his dedication to preserving our Constitution, his strong work ethic, and his integrity.  

Nye County Sheriff Tony DeMeo

 

As Sheriff of Nye County, it is with great pleasure that I support John for the Nevada Supreme Court.  I met and talked with John and we share common concerns in the direction that our State Supreme Court has taken recently.  Serving in law enforcement for over 31 years, I am fully aware of the importance the court plays in our lives.  They are here to ensure that everyone's Constitutional Rights are protected. We must be certain that the Judges placed in the office are fully cognizant of their responsibilities and respect the separation of powers.  I truly believe that John is that person.  As an attorney, businessman, and as an involved citizen, John has demonstrated a respect for the community and for the law.  I am proud to support his candidacy for Nevada Supreme Court Justice.

 

Dr. Rudy Manthei

 

As important as his qualifications, John Mason understands the importance of a judiciary that upholds the law, rather than making new law. He is also committed to ensuring that the judicial process is made more responsive so that the expense of litigation and the time needed to reach a court finding are reduced.
