Merle A. Berman

"Having been involved in Nevada's political forum and a member of the ethics commission, I am well suited to serve Nevada in the oversight of the elections, business governance as well as securities and investments. I look forward to the opportunity to serve Nevada again."

"Nevada faces unique challenges given its rapid growth and an increasingly diverse community. These challenges require dynamic leadership combined with the ability to achieve political consensus to meet the needs of our state. I believe my varied experiences have helped me develop the qualifications necessary to serve as an effective secretary of state."
