Nevada State Democratic Party Chair Daniele Monroe-Moreno released the following statement in response to the general election results in the NV-02 election:
“I would like to congratulate Congresswoman-elect Teresa Benitez-Thompson on her election victory. For the first time since the district was created, Northern Nevada will have a Democratic representative in Congress. Benitez-Thompson understands the challenges families face every day, from the rising cost of living and access to affordable health care to the need for good-paying jobs and quality public education.
“Benitez-Thompson has built her career around public service and fighting for the people of Congressional District 2. As she takes on this new role, I look forward to seeing her continue to champion policies that help families thrive, protect public lands, and fight for Northern Nevadans. Congratulations to Benitez-Thompson and the people of Northern Nevada on this historic victory.”
