Don has served
his community and his state in the capacities of both a legislator
and a jurist. This is important. He well understands the differences
between the constitutionally defined roles of legislators and
judges. In light of recent events in Carson City wherein our
Supreme Court abandoned an amendment to the constitution just
recently enacted by the voice of the majority of the people
here in Nevada, it is critically important to the citizens of
our state that they elect a candidate who understands what a
constitution is and why it must be the guiding light of government.
Don Ashworth is a strict constitutionalist, which makes him
worthy of the trust reposed in him by the people of this state. |

Although
the office of Supreme Court Justice is politically non-partisan,
the voters have a right to know where a candidate stands on
issues which are likely to affect the quality of life for
the people of Nevada. In recognition of that, here is a brief
summary of Don's position on some areas of concern:
- Don
Ashworth is a strict constitutionalist. He supports the
rule of law. He
supports Law Enforcement and looks to the duly sworn officers
of the law to
protect and to serve the citizens of the city, county, state
and nation within
their respective agencies.
- Don
is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and the people's
right
to keep and bear arms.
- Don
Ashworth is the father of seven children and the grandfather
of twenty-
eight. He is pro-life. Don has been married to his wife,
Mary Bonelli, for
forty-four years. He believes that marriage is a union between
a man and a
woman.
- Don
Ashworth supports the United States Supreme Court ruling
regarding
pornography and the First Amendment, which is: That the
standards of the
community are the chief determiners of what is offensive
and without any
"redeeming" virtue. The "community"
includes all of the residents who live
here, not just the purveyors of the adult entertainment
industry.
- Don
Ashworth has been on the Board of Directors of the Boulder
Dam Area
Council Boy Scouts of America for 30 years. He has been
on the Board of
Directors of the Boys and Girls Club of Las Vegas. He is
sensitive to the needs
of children in our community and is a proven advocate for
the well-being of children.
