Nevada Primary: Key Races & Candidates

About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming Nevada primary election and key races in Washoe County.

Nevadas primary election on June 9th will determine winners for key Washoe County races, with early voting from May 23rd to 5th and mail-in ballots sent out May 11th to 18th. The closed primary means voters choose their partys candidates and nonpartisan races like school board or city council. The federal race to watch is Congress District 2, with thirteen Republicans and eleven Democrats vying for the seat left by Mark Amodei. Governor Joe Lombardo leads Republicans but faces national challenges, while Democrat Aaron Ford aims for an upset from Attorney General duties. Statewide, Democrats challenge Republican Lieutenant Governor Stavros Anthony on tourism issues, and four Republicans seek to flip the Democrat-held Secretary of State office. The Treasurer race is wide open, and Attorney General heats up with Ford running for governor, leaving Democrats Nicole Cannizzaro and Zach Conine to compete against Republicans. Local races include Washoe County Commission districts, District Attorney, and School Board Trustee races. Reno and Sparks mayoral races and council wards also see new candidates. Voters should mark their calendars and review their ballots for these crucial races…
