SJR 9 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Urges the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee and the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service for the creation of a postage stamp commemorating John “Snowshoe” Thompson. (BDR R-46)

This is a procedural resolution (SJR 9) passed by the Nevada Legislature. It urges the U.S. Postal Service's Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee and Postmaster General to create a commemorative postage stamp honoring John "Snowshoe" Thompson. The resolution recognizes Thompson, a 19th-century mail carrier in the Sierra Nevada who delivered mail on snowshoes during winter, saved lives, and served as a vital link between Nevada and California from 1856 to 1876. It does not create new laws or affect any people or policies; it is solely a request for commemoration.
