Politics does very little for me. But every once in a while, I find a candidate I can heartily endorse. My friend, Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller, is precisely that sort of candidate.

So, a few weeks ago, when I received an invitation to a fundraiser, supporting Ross’ bid for Nevada Attorney General, later this year, I figured “Hey! Why not? Ross is awesome, and I do love a party!” When I read further, and read that the event was being thrown by one of my favorite couples, Dena duBoef-Roth and Dr. Jeffrey Roth, at the lovely home of Lovee and Bob Arum, I grabbed my iPhone, entered the event in my iCal, and RSVP’d to the beautiful Crystal Ann Ghanem, (Deputy Campaign Manager, Ross Miller for Attorney General) tout de suite.

Now, I don’t claim to know anything about anything, when it comes to politicking, and when conversation turns to such topics, I tend to zone-out and think about my dogs. So if a politician is able to hold my attention, it’s noteworthy. Granted, Ross is so damned charismatic, that I’d probably tune-in to hear him recite his grocery list (and it certainly doesn’t hurt that you could wash your laundry on his abs); but they guy’s also a Stanford-educated fellow who got his MBA and JD, simultaneously (which makes him both capable and intelligent).

But once I was able to pull myself from the 1,000 megawatt smile and twinkling eyes, I paid attention to what Ross was saying about this whole dark-money advertising thing, and it’s pretty creepy. Very Voldemort-y (for you Harry Potter-philes). Granted, I live a very transparent life, so I don’t really get the whole “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” concept – but still, it’s happening, and it’s nice to know that, as the state’s top law-enforcement official, Ross Miller will be on the job!

On a separate but related issue, the folks from Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group did a bang-up job with the passed appetizers (that many of us turned into dinner), including Open-Faced Reuben Sandwiches, Kobe Beef Sliders, Peking Duck in Bao Buns, and itsy-bitsy, Bite-Sized Iced Cream Sandwiches. Never let it be said that we were forced to deal with politics on an empty stomach!

At the end of the day, I would never presume to tell another person how to vote. But I’ll say this – Ross has got mine.
