Before Sandoval's big speech, progressives tell their side

Category: Progressives

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Progressives in Nevada are giving their version of the annual state of the state address two days before the Republican governor gives his.

Former Nevada Assemblyman Jason Frierson is delivering the speech Tuesday evening at the Las Vegas office of the Service Employees International Union. Immigration activist Astrid Silva will give the speech in Spanish.

The speech is organized by the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada and will focus on liberal groups' state policy priorities, including more education funding and preventing laws that would require voter identification at the polls.

Gov. Brian Sandoval will deliver the official state of the state address and release his proposed budget on Thursday.

Frierson is a Democrat who lost his Assembly seat to a little-known candidate in November amid widespread Republican victories in Nevada.
