Submitted Biography: "I have spent my life serving and protecting others. From the Marine Corps to the streets of Las Vegas, I have always answered the call of duty. Now I am ready to take that same commitment to Washington to fight for Nevada. Born and raised in Las Vegas, I graduated from Bonanza High School before serving as an Infantry Sergeant in the Marine Corps. The discipline, leadership, and courage I learned continue to guide my vision for America. After my service, I joined the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, where I spent 16 years as a Patrol Officer, Detective, and Sergeant. I helped start Metro’s Homeless Outreach Team to connect people with treatment, mentored new officers, and worked every day to keep our neighborhoods safe. I saw firsthand how failed left-wing policies make communities less secure. I am a proud conservative Republican who voted for President Trump in every election. In Congress I will fight to protect our Constitution, secure the border, strengthen our military while avoiding endless wars, and defend Nevada families from higher taxes, indoctrination in schools, and attacks on the sanctity of life. My wife Heather and I have been married more than 30 years, and we are proud parents of three children. As a husband, father, Marine, and police officer, I know the values that make Nevada strong: faith, family, freedom, and service. I have protected America and Nevada. Now I am ready to continue that fight in Congress."

Submitted Biography: "I’m not a politician—I’m a fighter. I’m the son of immigrants who came to this country with nothing but a dream. At 12, I was working in my dad’s restaurant, learning the hustle and struggle of building a life in America. I dropped out of college, got into the car business, and by my 20s was running luxury dealerships. I started my own exotic car company, sold to celebrities and royalty, and lived the American Dream—until the government came after me. I was falsely accused, jailed, and eventually found not guilty. I rebuilt my life, but after a tragic personal loss, someone I trusted destroyed my business. The DOJ came after me again—not to seek justice, but to make an example of me. When a judge asked for a bribe, I knew I’d never get a fair trial. I fled, exposed corruption from abroad, and surrendered on my own terms. I was locked up, offered a plea deal, and sentenced—just to be “taught a lesson.” But I didn’t fold. Now, I’m running for Congress to fight for Nevadans. I’ve lived the nightmare of government abuse, and I’m not afraid to take on the system. I’m not owned by anyone. I say what I mean. I fight for what’s right. This isn’t just a campaign—it’s a movement. I’m Bobby Khan. Let’s take our power back."

Keith Hanoff (R)
Radical far-left Democrats like Dina Titus have trampled on our Constitutional rights. In Congress, I will fight to preserve every Constitutional protection especially the right to free speech and the right to keep and bear arms. The Constitution is not negotiable, and I will stand firm against any attempt to strip away the freedoms that make America strong.
PROTECT OUR COUNTRY
As a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps and sergeant of Las Vegas Metro, I know what it takes to keep America safe. That starts with securing our border and ending the chaos of illegal immigration that threatens our communities. We must maintain the strongest military in the world, but never waste American lives or resources in endless, unnecessary wars. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies while always putting America first. And here at home, I will back our law enforcement officers and ensure they have the tools and resources they need to crack down on crime and keep our neighborhoods safe.
PROTECT OUR FAMILIES

Bobby Khan (R)
Veterans risked everything for this country—they shouldn’t have to fight for benefits, healthcare, or housing. Bobby Khan’s plan: no taxes for wounded or PTSD-affected vets, free healthcare at any hospital, housing on federal land, and fair pay for active-duty troops. He’ll stop the government from clawing back benefits after a veteran’s death and cut bloated FBI/DOJ salaries to boost military wages. No more homeless vets, no more military families on food stamps. It’s not a handout—it’s honoring a promise. Bobby Khan: Fighting for those who fought for us.
Gambling winnings shouldn’t be taxed—your luck, your money. Bobby Khan’s plan ends federal taxes on casino, poker, and sports betting winnings. This means more money in players’ pockets, more tourism, and stronger local economies. Casinos can operate without IRS delays or paperwork. While gamblers get taxed, Wall Street gets breaks—that’s unfair. Ending gambling taxes boosts jobs, tourism, and revenue without hurting federal services. It’s time to stop punishing winners and let people keep what they earn. Bobby Khan for Congress—fighting to keep your money in your hands.

Keith Hanoff (R)
I also care deeply about protecting our Constitution and preserving the values that built this country. That means defending the Second Amendment, stopping government overreach, and standing with parents who want a stronger voice in their children’s education.
Nevadans work hard, and they deserve leaders who will fight against higher taxes, oppose radical agendas in our schools.
Bobby Khan (R)

But if you want something outside of that, I’d recommend “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson. It’s a real look at how broken the justice system is — something I’ve lived firsthand. I also recommend “The People vs. the FBI” (the Parkman & Khan Unleashed YouTube series) — because we expose the truth the media won’t touch.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
We don’t need more polished career politicians who play it safe and serve donors. We need leaders who’ve lived through struggle, who aren’t afraid to tell the truth, take heat, and fight like hell for the people they represent.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
That means writing and supporting laws that protect our freedoms, holding corrupt agencies and officials accountable, and making sure every voice back home is heard loud and clear in Washington. It also means cutting through red tape, exposing waste, and standing up to systems that are broken — even when it’s unpopular.

It’s the only federal body where every seat is up for election every two years, and that makes it the most accountable to the public. The House is where voices from every corner of America — from business owners to veterans to first-time candidates like me — can bring real-life experience into the fight.
It was designed to be fast-moving, close to the people, and fierce in defending their rights. That’s what makes it unique — and that’s what we’ve lost over time.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
Too many politicians are professional talkers who’ve never run a business, missed a paycheck, or dealt with the system they claim to represent. They recycle the same failed ideas because they’ve never lived the consequences.
I believe we need more real-world experience and fewer career politicians. Congress should be filled with people who’ve built things, struggled, overcome adversity, and understand what it’s like to live under the laws they pass.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
Over the next decade, we’ll be forced to answer some tough questions:
Do we still believe in the Constitution?
Do we stand for free speech, fair justice, and personal freedom?
Or do we let unelected bureaucrats and lifetime politicians destroy the foundation of this country?
If we don’t fix our broken justice system, clean house in Washington, and get serious about protecting the middle class, we won’t recognize America ten years from now.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
The problem isn’t the length — it’s the career politicians who manipulate the system, ignore their districts, and count on low voter turnout to stay in power. The short term was designed so reps never forget who they work for. I support it.
But I also believe in term limits. Two years is good — but ten terms? That’s a joke. Serve your time, get results, and then make room for new voices.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
Career politicians are killing this country. They sit in office for decades, collecting paychecks, making backroom deals, and getting rich while the people they represent struggle to survive. That’s not public service — that’s a hustle.
This wasn’t supposed to be a lifetime job. We need fresh blood, real-world experience, and fighters who still remember what it’s like to live under the laws they pass.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
That said, I respect people like Jim Jordan and Byron Donalds — guys who aren’t afraid to speak up, stand firm, and call out corruption. But I’m not trying to be the next anyone. I’m running to be the first Bobby Khan — a representative who brings street smarts, business sense, and a backbone to D.C.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
A single mom in Las Vegas told me she works two jobs, still can’t afford rent, and had to choose between buying groceries or gas to get to work. She said, “It feels like the system was built to break people like me.” That hit me hard — because I’ve lived it.
I know what it’s like to lose everything, to fight just to survive, and to feel like the odds are stacked against you. Her story isn’t rare — it’s reality for millions of Americans — and it’s exactly why I’m running. Not to play politics, but to fight for people like her.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
We should absolutely look at what works in other states, countries, and industries. But we also need the guts to admit when something’s broken and forge a path that fits American values, not globalist agendas.
Too often, politicians use comparison as an excuse — “this is how Europe does it” — instead of fixing problems our way. I believe in common-sense solutions based on what helps the American people, not what looks good on paper or pleases think tanks.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
If elected, I’ll use this constitutional power to push for zero taxes on veterans, zero taxes on gambling winnings, and to protect Social Security from being raided by career politicians. I’ll fight to cut waste, defund corrupt agencies weaponized against the people, and bring real tax relief to working Americans and small business owners.
Raising revenue shouldn’t mean raising taxes — it should mean reviving the economy and cutting the fat. And that starts in the House — with people like me who won’t be bullied by lobbyists or party elites.

Keith Hanoff (R)

Bobby Khan (R)
Too many agencies, politicians, and bureaucrats think they’re untouchable. The DOJ, the IRS, the FBI — they’ve abused power, targeted political enemies, and destroyed lives without consequence. I’ve lived it. I’ve seen what happens when no one is watching the watchers.
If elected, I’ll push for investigations that actually mean something — not political theater, but real accountability. We need to drag corruption into the sunlight, hold bad actors criminally responsible, and restore faith in a government that’s supposed to serve the people — not control them.

Bobby Khan (R)
Judiciary Committee – to hold corrupt prosecutors, agencies, and judges accountable, and to push serious justice reform. Oversight and Accountability Committee – because I’ve lived the consequences of unchecked power. I want to expose waste, abuse, and double standards in government. Small Business Committee – as a businessman who’s built from the ground up, I know what it takes to create jobs and cut red tape for entrepreneurs. Veterans’ Affairs Committee – to ensure our heroes get the benefits, housing, and care they deserve — and not just lip service.
Ways and Means Committee – to overhaul outdated tax policies, protect Social Security, and push ideas like zero taxes for veterans and working-class relief.
Bobby Khan (R)
We audit small business owners and track every dollar Americans spend over $600, but nobody audits Congress, the DOJ, or federal agencies wasting billions. That’s the problem.
If elected, I’ll push for mandatory audits of every government agency, full transparency on where our tax dollars go, and criminal penalties for public officials who misuse funds or abuse their power. I’ve seen how unchecked government can destroy lives — and I won’t stop until every dime is tracked and every corrupt actor is exposed.
