“Nevada has lost one of its great public servants with the passing of Bill Swackhamer. During his tenure in the Nevada Legislature, he was a true statesman and served with the utmost dignity and respect for the process, as well as the people he served. When he moved on to higher office to serve the people of Nevada as their Secretary of State, it was with an eye to the future and he made the office what it is today. I would like to offer my sympathies to his family, and may God bless him.”
