Dr. Ben Carson’s Statement on Nevada Caucuses
Las Vegas, Nevada - February 24, 2016 - Contrary to the popular slogan, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," Dr. Carson encouraged a ballroom full of supporters that the results of the Nevada caucuses could lead the rest of the nation to reverse course for a brighter future.
“We are getting to the point where ‘We the People’ want to hear real solutions,” said Dr. Carson, retired neurosurgeon and presidential candidate. “I believe that people are starting to wake up and look for answers, rather than have a Colosseum mindset.”
With only four states having cast votes for the Republican presidential nomination, Dr. Carson stands among the top four candidates in the Nevada outcome of the original 17. He is deeply humbled and encouraged by the support he continues to receive across the country, as his consistent message of faith, integrity and common sense solutions resonates across all demographics. He continues to be viewed more favorably than any other candidate and consistently polls as the most honest and sincere person in the race. With less than 200 delegates decided, Dr. Carson is encouraged by the upward momentum he has experienced over the past two months and looks forward to Super Tuesday.
“I want to thank my many supporters and volunteers in Nevada and across the country,” Dr. Carson added. “While professional politicians have long written off our efforts to return the government to the people, we remain undaunted. We’ve barely finished the first inning, and there’s a lot of game left. I look forward to the debate in Houston this Thursday and then on to Super Tuesday, sharing my message to 'Heal, Inspire, and Revive' this great nation. As more Americans have their say, they will see the true strength of our movement.”
