ABOUT MISTY ATKINS

Dedicated to Your County's Future

A DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVANT

​

I am Misty Atkins, a dedicated advocate deeply involved in various facets of community engagement, particularly within the political arena. In addition to my roles as a devoted wife and mother of three, I am fiercely committed to the Election Integrity of Elko, Nevada, which my family and I have proudly called home since 2012.

​

My husband's service as a Navy veteran and his current employment at Small Mine Development underscores our shared commitment to service and hard work. Rooted in Christian values, I hold a profound appreciation for the distinct character of Elko and its enduring traditions.

​

My leadership as the Chair and Moderator of the 2022 Gubernatorial Candidate Debate at the prestigious Elko Convention Center afforded me invaluable experience navigating the intricacies of political discourse. Presently, I serve as the point of contact for Joey Gilbert in Elko County, spearheading efforts toward meaningful educational reform.

​

As a co-founder of Parents of Elko County, a formidable coalition comprising over 1,000 stakeholders including parents, students, educators, and concerned citizens, I tirelessly advocate for parental choice in public education, amplifying our collective voice for transparency and accountability within the Elko County School District. This involvement has fortified my resolve to champion unwavering principles in the face of political adversity.

​

My tenure as Treasurer on the Elko County TV District Board has been instrumental in spearheading vital upgrades to communication infrastructure, fostering economic growth, and bolstering emergency response capabilities throughout our community.

​

Moreover, I contribute as an assistant instructor with Elko Tactical, where I impart essential knowledge on CCW and advanced tactical strategies, embodying a commitment to safeguarding our community's safety and security. As a fervent outdoors enthusiast, I cherish family-centered pursuits such as camping, hunting, and fishing, emblematic of the rugged individualism and resilience that define our great state of Nevada.

MISSION STATEMENT

Equality Meets Opportunity

Our mission is to uphold and strengthen Elko County's Constitutional sovereignty, particularly in managing local elections. We reject top-down mandates that undermine the County Clerk's responsibilities, advocating instead for transparent, accountable processes that prioritize the integrity of our electoral system.

​

As a staunch supporter of voter ID and traditional voting methods such as paper ballots and hand-counted results, we are committed to ensuring fair and secure elections. We will work tirelessly to clean up voter rolls and prevent any undue influence from special interest groups, putting the interests of Elko County residents first.

​

Furthermore, we envision a community where every resident is better served, especially those in the mining industry. By increasing outreach efforts and implementing flexible hours of operation, we aim to accommodate diverse schedules and ensure accessibility to essential services.

​

It's crucial to note that our candidacy is not influenced by any partisan endorsements. We stand independent of left-leaning political organizations, prioritizing the needs and values of Elko County above all else.
