Criticism

In the summer of 2015, Schwartz hired Nevada Republican Party Chair Michael McDonald to serve as a senior deputy treasurer despite McDonald's embroilment in a civil lawsuit. [35] A restructuring of department staff resulted in McDonald's resignation in October 2015. [36] The lawsuit was settled privately.

Schwartz also challenged Nevada Lieutenant Governor Mark Hutchison when Hutchison filed his own lawsuit in defense of Nevada's Education Savings Account program. Schwartz joined the Nevada Attorney General's office in arguing that the private suit could jeopardize the legal proceedings already underway, which included lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and a group of parents. Nevada's Attorney General, Adam Laxalt, had already hired former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement to defend the state against those lawsuits. [37] Hutchison dropped the suit, but not before Schwartz suggested he should resign if he did not. [38]

She is fluent in Mandarin and Italian. She became a U.S. citizen in March 2016. [39] He has two daughters, Allison and Dana, from his first marriage.
