Hi Friend,

As my Queens Lizzo and Cardi B said, “all the rumors are true.” You may
have heard the news by now, but I wanted you to hear it from me directly
too. I, who has been called ‘the Worst Person In Nevada’, is going to be
leaving my post as Executive Director at my beloved BBP/IPN as of July 1,
2023. 

Many have asked the why and the where. I want to be totally honest with
you all, because I consider you as part of my extended family. I am taking
a break and I could not be more happy and excited to take a step back so I
can spend more time with my husband, and play with my dogs and tortoises.
I have been at this for over 20 years and this year is my 10 year
anniversary at these amazing organizations. However, decades of fighting
hard for Nevadans comes at a cost. I am exhausted and I believe it is time
for new energy to lead these incredible organizations into the future. 

About a month ago, I decided, with Nick, that this was the path I wanted
to take for our family. I am so excited for my future adventures in this
state (you will never truly get rid of me). Our Boards of Directors and I
have created a strong plan to find someone to take up the reins and become
our next Executive Director. I will support that person and our team every
step of the way! [ [link removed] ]I hope you, will, too.

To be transparent, my plan is for me to finish strong through the end of
the 2023 legislative session and into our next fiscal year. At the same
time, we will be beginning the search for our new Executive Director - if
you or someone you know is interested, YOU SHOULD APPLY!

This is so bittersweet for me. Our team is the best part of my job. I have
had the privilege to work with some of the most brilliant people I have
ever met. Our team has become my family and they will always be able to
count on me, because I love them to the moon and back. I especially want
to tell our Deputy Director, Maria-Teresa, just how much she means to me.
She is more like a sister to me than a coworker and has been my
ride-or-die through some of the hardest and best moments of my career. I
will NEVER be able to repay her and our team for what they have done for
me. 

This has been the hardest job I have ever loved. I owe so much to all of
you for always supporting me and our work. We have achieved so much
together. From feeding people out of my garage during a pandemic to
increasing access to voting rights, designating FOUR monuments, killing a
voucher scheme, protecting access to abortion, raising the minimum wage,
banning ghost guns and SO MUCH MORE. We are the progressive communications
hub in Nevada and I am so proud to have yelled into the bullhorn, at
lawmakers in committee, and on TV for and with all of you. If you want to
support this work, you can become a monthly donor and keep this machine
chugging [ [link removed] ]along here.

We still have three months together, but I wanted to say THANK YOU to each
and everyone one of you for all you have done. I am so proud of the work
we continue to do together. Please continue to support these
organizations’ work no matter who is leading the charge because I always
will! 

I won't be going far and I am always here for all of you - even in my
personal capacity!

Fighting for you today, tomorrow, and everyday,

 

PS - The best goodbye gift you could give me, would be to [ [link removed] ]make a
donation today to keep these organizations going strong into the future!
