Nevada Democrats made history this election cycle, electing the state’s first ever Black Governor and flipping an R+14 district with the first Democrat ever to win NV-02. From Governor to Controller, Democrats won every single constitutional office and now have a supermajority in the state assembly and a majority in the state senate.
With these historic victories, Nevada will have an all-Democratic federal delegation and unified Democratic control of state government, creating an unprecedented opportunity to advance our Democratic agenda of lowering costs, uprooting corruption, and putting working families first.
