Early life

Trowbridge graduated from San Diego State University, where he received a bachelor of science in psychology.[1] He received a master in business administration from the National University.[1]

Career

Between 1979 and 2001, Trowbridge was director of human resources for Clark County, Nevada, followed by director of its parks and recreation department.[2] He later worked for Safe Nest, a non-profit organization which helps victims of domestic violence.[2]

Trowbridge served as a Republican member of the Nevada Assembly.[1] He was appointed to this position due to the vacancy left by Wesley Duncan.[2] He is a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA).[1]

Electoral history

Trowbridge ran for office at least two times before his appointment to the Assembly. He was the Republican nominee for Assembly seat 20 back in 1982. He lost to Democratic incumbent Robert G. Craddock by a margin of 54-43%.[3] He also ran for Las Vegas City Council in 2009, narrowly losing to Stavros Anthony 50.08-49.92%.[4] In the June 16 primary, Trowbridge lost to businessman Jim Marchant by a margin of 62.5-37.5%. His loss attributed to his support of a state commerce tax that was proposed and signed into law by Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval.[5]

Personal life

Trowbridge married Patricia Lynn Hill.[1] They have a son, Thomas.[1] They reside in Las Vegas, Nevada.[1]

gollark: Insufficient incentives for them to be non-weird?

gollark: You can tell from the very long words.

gollark: Looks like it.

gollark: I don't think it makes sense to give some people more or less voting power depending on where they live, especially since it's in a convoluted way and based on ancient borders which were probably kind of arbitrarily picked.

gollark: The constituency thing is weird and broken *too*, in my opinion.
