Climate & Energy
Michael Boris has expressed skepticism about human-caused global warming, saying he does not believe global warming is real. He has not advanced progressive climate policy proposals on his campaign site and frames environmental care in general terms rather than endorsing emissions regulations or clean-energy mandates.
Public Safety & Guns

News
Michael Boris is in the news because Nevada held its June 9 primary election, which narrowed the field in races including governor. The available summaries do not give specific results or details about Boris’s own race, so it is unclear from this information how he performed. Another recent item about redistricting and corporate pressure does not appear to directly involve him.
