Clark Bossert is a husband, father, community leader, and a constitutional conservative candidate for Nevada’s 3rd congressional district. Raised at China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station in Ridgecrest California, Clark graduated from college in Virginia moved to Las Vegas in 2015 to serve a movement that was pioneering transformation in the city’s toughest neighborhoods. Clark was the UNLV Budget Coordinator for the student affairs, and later transitioned to become the UNLV Science and Engineering Machine Shop Manager and Engineer for Research Projects. Due to the implementation of Marxist anti-American policies by our leaders, what started as a desire to love and serve local communities has become a passion to fight for the rights, freedoms, and futures of Nevadans against the threats of tyranny.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

The primary function of Government is preserve you God given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thats it! Sovereignty rests with the citizens, and the government derives its power by the consent of the governed.
Our leaders’ lack of integrity, morality, and courage has left the people of Nevada CD3 without meaningful representation and devoid of an opportunity to enact substantive reform.
If we don't fight for our country then we are going to lose it. We can take our county back and secure the blessings of liberty to the next generation but it's going to take everyone at the top, the bottom, and the middle.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I started doing landscape work when I was in 6th grade, but as a high schooler, the experiences of working in construction and managing a restaurant during the years immediately following the 2008 financial crisis instilled a deep sense of gratitude for being among the ones that were able to find work during those challenging years. I earned an Associate’s degree in Welding in this season and I was able to complete my Bachelor’s degree in business through a scholarship opportunity to attend college in Virginia. This formative time in my early career taught me the value of hard work and the critical need for accessible educational opportunities and paths towards economic mobility for all Americans.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

My friend Jordan has a business in CD3 that is expanding its manufacturing capabilities by leasing a new facility and adding millions of dollars in new machinery. He is worried about inflation and whether or not we will have a functioning economy, stable currency, and minimal regulatory environment. Private domestic business investment is the backbone of real economic growth, and nobody is looking after the business owners, the risk takers, and the job creators. The government is diminishing the incentive for Americans to work hard and achieve their dreams. This has to change.
