RE: Eligibility to Run for Assembly District 40 – Residency
Chris Forbush AD 40 Residency Demystified
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Thu, 06/02/2016 - 10:39pmChris Forbush's defense claiming a student exemption allowing him to bypass the physical residency requirements to run for office in NRS 218A.200 is without merit. Simply put, you have to be a student to have a student exemption. But here are the facts that are not in dispute:
*Forbush graduated from college in Utah in April of 2015.
*Upon graduation Forbush ceased to be a student in an academic institution.
*Forbush then took the Utah bar exam (not Nevada bar exam) and successfully passed it and began practicing law in Utah.

What if Assemblyman Ira Hansen has been lying about Chris Forbush?
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 06/01/2016 - 9:09amThe biggest question right now is: “Why is Ira Hansen, a sitting Assemblyman from Sparks, going to such lengths to try to make people believe candidate Chris Forbush is ineligible to run for Assembly District 40 in Carson City?” Ira claims it is because he doesn’t want to see Forbush win the primary, but then as the Republican nominee, get thrown off the general election ballot leaving the seat wide open for the Democrat to win.
