Brian Krolicki has been appointed to the Nevada Gaming Commission by the state Governor Joseph Lombardo.
A former Lieutenant Governor of the state of Nevada, Krolicki has been appointed to replace Ben Kieckhefer, who resigned from the commission to join Lombardo’s team.
Krolicki has a long affiliation with the state, having served as state treasurer for seven years between 1999 and 2006, where he helped to make college education more affordable, and helped to upgrade credit-rating agencies across the state.
Elsewhere in his career, he served from 2007 to 2014 as Lieutenant Governor after being elected to act under Gov. Brian Sandoval. Subsequently, he was reelected in 2010 before standing down in 2014 after serving for two terms.
In his Lt. Governorship, Krolicki chaired the state Commission on Tourism and presided over the State Senate.
Now, after several years away from state politics roles, Krolicki has been appointed to be one of Nevada’s five gaming commissioners and will begin his work immediately.
Confirming Krolicki’s appointment, Gov Lombardo’s office noted: “Krolicki, former Nevada State Treasurer (1999-2006) and Lieutenant Governor (2007-2014), will fill the vacant seat on the Nevada Gaming Commission.
“In addition to his 16-year tenure as a Constitutional Officer, Krolicki has been a longtime business leader in Nevada, and he is credited with bringing critical economic development initiatives to the state throughout his time in public service and in the private sector.”
