Former North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee Endorses Cody Whipple for Congress

“Cody is the only candidate who can flip this seat from blue to red.”

Las Vegas, NV—Cody Whipple, conservative businessman and rancher, announced today the endorsement of former North Las Vegas Mayor and longtime state legislator John Lee in his campaign for Nevada’s 4th Congressional District.

John Lee, a respected Nevada leader and former State Senator, Assemblyman, and small business owner, issued the following statement in support of Whipple:

“Cody Whipple is the candidate in this race who has earned a reputation for honesty and integrity we need to protect and stand up for faith and family and country. His business experience and his ability to tackle the cost of living crisis are unmatched, and I have no doubt he will always put Nevada first. Cody is the only candidate who can flip this seat from blue to red and deliver real conservative results. It’s a blessing and an honor to endorse him, and I’m proud to stand with him in this critical fight for Nevada’s future.”

Whipple, who was born and raised on his family’s cattle ranch in Lincoln County and is now a successful business owner in Southern Nevada, brings deep roots and real-world experience to the campaign. Over the past 25 years, he has built and operated a regional communications network serving first responders, school districts, and businesses across four states. In addition to running his business, Whipple continues to oversee the family ranch, giving him a unique perspective on the needs of both urban and rural Nevadans.

Nevada’s 4th Congressional District includes parts of Clark, Lincoln, Lyon, Nye, Mineral, and Esmeralda counties and is considered one of the most competitive seats in the country.

Whipple has already earned the endorsement of former Congressman Cresent Hardy, further solidifying his position as the Republican frontrunner in the race to unseat Democrat Steven Horsford.

Whipple stated, “I’m honored to have the endorsement of Mayor John Lee—a man who has led with conviction and stood for conservative values his entire career. Together, we’re building a coalition that will win this race and restore real leadership for Nevada.”
