Richard Bryan reminisces about a more civil time in politics


Richard Bryan, a prominent figure in Nevada politics, has released a new book titled “My Life in Nevada Politics” in collaboration with writer John L. Smith. The book delves into Bryan’s career, starting from his days as an 8th grade class president to his tenure in the Nevada Legislature, as attorney general, governor, and finally, as a United States Senator. Throughout his career, Bryan worked on various initiatives that shaped the state, such as creating conflict-of-interest laws, establishing the Nevada Film Office, and bringing the National Finals Rodeo to Las Vegas.

Bryan emphasizes the importance of compromise in politics and laments the increasing partisanship that has plagued modern-day politics, recalling a time when lawmakers from different parties worked together to solve problems for the state. He attributes the shift towards partisanship to the election of Newt Gingrich as Republican speaker of the House in 1994, which led to a more divisive political climate.

Despite the challenges of contemporary politics, Bryan encourages individuals to get involved in public service and emphasizes the value of setting goals and working towards them. He acknowledges the difficulties of campaigning in today’s landscape with social media, a 24-hour news cycle, and increased partisanship, but stresses the importance of finding good people to run for office. Bryan’s book offers insights into the history of Nevada politics and serves as a reminder of the importance of civic engagement and cooperation in shaping a better future.
