As these winners come up and join us, I want to note that Jazmine got her vaccine at @NellisAFB where her father is serving as an Air Force Master Sergeant. Also vaccinated at Nellis, but unable to join us tonight, we have winners Landon B and Nicholas C — PolitiTweet.org

For our local winners, please join me up here when I announce your name to get your big check - I think we will have some help from our invited guests bringing the giant checks up on stage tonight! — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

OK - Let’s do this. I’ll start with our college tuition savings plan winners. This week we have 20 - $5,000 tuition winners. And seven of these winners have joined us at one of our two live events. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I want to give a special shout out to the team of folks who spent the last eight weeks calling hundreds and hundreds of Nevadans to inform them they won prizes through this incentive program. It was a lot of work and I’m so grateful. — PolitiTweet.org

Since the announcement of #VAXNevadaDays there has been an overall 53.5% increase in statewide initiated vaccination rates. If you are not vaccinated, you are vulnerable to this disease, and you are making your community more vulnerable to this disease. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

I’ve spoken with ER doctors and ICU nurses throughout Nevada. They tell me nearly 100% of the people they are now seeing admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 are unvaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

So, why do #VaxNevadaDays? Why make such a big deal out of #COVID19 vaccines? Because, as scientists and health care experts keep telling us, vaccines are the only way we will end this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

And many thanks to State Treasurer @ZConine and his team for ensuring we could award the 529 college savings plans to dozens of lucky 12 to 17 year olds who got vaccinated. Treasurer Conine is here with us tonight as well. Thank you, Zach! — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, my thanks to the @NVStateParks and @NvDOW for helping provide park passes and fishing licenses to this promotion. I think we have representatives from those departments here tonight - please wave! Thank you! — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Our gratitude to the @NevadaGBC - under Chair Brin Gibson and @IGTNews who worked to protect the integrity of our drawings, and ensure a fair, secure, and private process. IGT donated all of their time, effort, and talents and we are so grateful. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

A huge thanks to @ImmunizeNV, our nonprofit partner that worked with the @DhhsNevada & the State Immunization Program to create, administer, and publicize this promotion - all while undertaking the largest vaccination program in our State’s history. https://t.co/tIjDQtKjrX — PolitiTweet.org

First, to my team. I’m not kidding when I tell people I have the smallest governor’s office in the nation, but my team works nonstop on behalf of this State. #VaxNevadaDays https://t.co/CXzDAcvrZb — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

It was a big promotion and we worked with a whole team of dedicated partners to make it happen. Before we get to announcing names - and I know that’s what we’re all here for - I have a few people to thank. #VaxNevadaDays — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

So, here we are at week 8 of #VaxNevadaDays. During this promotion we have had winners from all across the Silver State — Fernley to Boulder City, Elko to Mesquite, and of course lots of folks from Las Vegas and Reno where most of our residents live. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

In addition to winners up in Reno, I think that @unevadareno President Brian Sandoval (@Pres_Sandoval) and Assemblywoman Teresa Benitez-Thompson (@Assemblywoman27) are at the event as well - thank you for joining us tonight! #VaxNevadaDays — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

It’s heartening to see our arts and culture industry reviving in the Silver State. In the year preceding the pandemic, arts and culture contributed more than $8 and a half-billion dollars to the state’s economy. #VaxNevadaDays https://t.co/xZZX2Dzsq8 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We have two parties happening right now, this one here in Las Vegas and one in Reno at the Sierra Arts Foundation (@IAmSierraArts) who helped raise nearly $200,000 to support artists negatively impacted by #COVID19. #VaxNevadaDays — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

We certainly appreciate the @LVCVA hosting us here in the beautiful West Hall expansion at the Convention Center. And I especially appreciate the work you do to put on safe and welcoming events that support the Nevada economy during such a challenging time. #VaxNevadaDays — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Sisolak ARCHIVE @GovSisolak

Throughout the summer, #VaxNevadaDays has been celebrating Nevadans who chose #COVID19 vaccination. After tonight’s announcements, they will have given away a total of $5 million dollars in cash, college tuition saving plans & state recreation prizes. #VaxNevadaDays https://t.co/J78k96KUyW — PolitiTweet.org

On behalf of the State of Nevada, I want to offer their families, friends and loved ones our support, love and prayers during this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Before we begin with the celebration this evening, I’d like to pause and observe a moment of silence for the United States Service Members and civilians who were killed today in Afghanistan. — PolitiTweet.org
