One month after NV Dems Chair Daniele Monroe-Moreno launched a statewide Kitchen Table Tour that stretched across all 17 counties and focused on kitchen table issues that matter most to hardworking Nevadans such as protecting Social Security and Medicare, addressing the affordable housing crisis, lowering costs, veterans’ needs, and climate action. Michael McDonald even discovered the phrase “kitchen table issues.” Nevada Democrats are showing an incredible amount of energy and strength following the Democratic National Convention – and Republicans are noticing.
While the Nevada Independent noted that “Trump’s campaign infrastructure still lags behind Harris’ campaign” the NVGOP has long faced party infrastructure issues. It is no surprise that Nevada has experienced the greatest swing towards Vice President Harris among battleground states and why Nevada is uniquely equipped to deliver the White House for the Harris-Walz ticket.
“Nevada Democrats are meeting voters where they are, launching canvasses in Nye, knocking doors in Douglas, phonebanking in Elko, and hosting a meet-and-greet in Storey,” said Nevada State Democratic Party spokesperson Claudia Alvarado. “While Republicans struggle to unify and find their footing, NV Dems are riding the momentum from our statewide Kitchen Table Tour and building relationships with voters all across the state, including independents and on-the-fence Republicans.”

Elko Daily: State Democratic leader rallies support in conservative Elko
Keith Kohn
Key points:
- A statewide political leader and head of the Nevada Democratic Party met this week with several dozen union members and others to rally support for both Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Jacky Rosen and other priorities of her party.
- “My philosophy and for politics, for my own district, and in this role as state party chair, is that we have to build community,” she said. “And I am a Democrat. A registered Democrat, yes. But as an elected official — I don’t call myself a politician, I’m an elected official — that was elected to serve our community, our state. It doesn’t matter what party you’re in, my work doesn’t change.”
- “I’m here to serve the state. So, building communities for me, being out talking to people, listening to them. We don’t always have to agree with each other, but my job is to hear from all of our constituents statewide,” she said. “But I do have a, you know, a mission to get Democrats elected up and down the ballot. But as an elected official, my job is to listen to all my voters, statewide, and that’s what we’re doing on this 17-county tour.”
- She said Rosen has worked on bipartisan measure during her time in the Senate and “is there fighting for all of us, and I think people know that throughout the state, no matter what party they’re in, they recognize the support and the work that our senator is doing in Washington for Nevada.”
Pahrump Valley Times: Democratic party’s Kitchen Table Tour of rural Nevada begins in Pahrump
Jimmy Romo
- Harris raised $200 million in the first week of her bid for president, according to her campaign and is getting a wave of blue support from her backers, including Assemblywoman and Chair of the Nevada Democratic party Daniele Monroe-Moreno, who will be speaking on the party’s rural tour in the state. When she was elected as the chair of her party, she made a few promises. One was to represent all Nevada voters, rural or urban.
- “I would not leave any voter untouched, at every corner of the state, without having an opportunity to make contact with [them],” Monroe-Moreno said. “I personally take no vote for granted.”
- Under [the current] leadership there have been more than 285,000 new jobs right here in Nevada. Our legislative Democratic leaders [laid] the groundwork for long-term economic growth in our rural communities.
- Recently the state received $3.5 billion from an infrastructure bill that aimed to catch rural parts of Nevada up to speed with broadband and maintenance to roads and bridges. This created in-demand jobs for rural Nevadans.
KRNV News 4: Nevada Democrats continue ‘Kitchen Table’ Tour in Sparks, counter JD Vance rally
Audrey Mayer
- Nevada Democrats are continuing their Kitchen Table Tour, visiting all Nevada counties this summer and making a stop in Sparks Wednesday, just one day after Republican Vice Presidential nominee and Ohio Senator JD Vance held a rally at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.
- In Monroe-Moreno’s remarks Wednesday, she criticized the conservative agenda, specifically Project 2025 and former President Trump’s attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
- “‘Mr. Trump fought tooth and nail to repeal the ACA and he was just one vote away… one vote away from doing that,’ she told a room of supporters.’”
- “You should make no mistake about the fact that House Republicans and Republicans in the Senate said that they are going to bring a bill to have a national abortion ban in this country,” said Ken Martin, Vice Chair of the DNC, “and I have no doubt that Donald Trump and JD Vance–if that bill made it to their desk–that they would sign it.”
