are protected.”
“I

my background in both business and community relations. I am
eager to continue serving the Governor as Commissioner of this
very important agency. Nevada’s businesses climate is vibrant
and continues to grow along with our state; however, consumer
protection is critical to ensure that Nevada’s business
community remains vibrant for years to come,” said Campos.
