Take Action: Nevada

Senate (Cortez Masto), NV-01 (Titus), NV-03 (Lee), NV-04 (Horsford)

U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto won the Nevada primary with more than 90% of the vote. In November, she will face Adam Laxalt, former state attorney general and Trump-endorsee who won his primary by only 56%. Cortez Masto’s first-term incumbency has led the GOP to pump significant funding into trying to flip this seat. But women voters, moved by the attack on abortion rights, have boosted Cortez Masto’s chances to beat Laxalt, who called Roe v. Wade “a joke,” and who believes Nevada should hold a state-wide vote on a 13-week abortion ban. The first Latina elected to the Senate, Cortez Masto was chosen the third most effective lawmaker in the Senate by the Center for Effective Lawmaking. In US House races, three incumbent Democrats are considered at risk thanks to redistricting.

In NV-01, incumbent U.S. Rep. Dina Titus in November will face a Republican who earned only 30% of the vote in a multi-candidate primary. Titus has outraised Mark Robertson, but the district is rated a tossup. Redistricting shifted Democrats out of NV-01, a historically safe district for Dems. The map lands a tough blow to Titus’ re-election chances and barely gives much to boost Dems in NV-03 and NV-04. Titus is a member of the Pro-Choice Caucus, and voted to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. Robertson is a Mormon and businessman who supports axing the federal Department of Education and says, “abortion is an affront to the Creator.” The district is a tossup, but Democrats hope Robertson’s stances are outof step with Nevadans who vote.

NV-03 Rep. Susie Lee won the open seat in 2018 by 9 points, but her margin slipped to 3 points in 2020. Lee voted for the 2022 Assault Weapons Ban and Women’s Health Protection Act. Her Republican opponent, April Becker, is a Las Vegas lawyer who opposes gun reform and is endorsed by the National Right to Live. NV-03 is viewed as the state’s most competitive House district.

Democrat Steven Horsford won his seat an open seat in NV-04 in 2018 by 8.2 points. In 2020 he beat his Republican challenger by under 5 points. The Republicans have listed both Horsford’s and Lee’s seats as “offensive pick-up opportunities for the 2022 cycle.” Horsford is facing Republican Sam Peters, a political newbie, insurance company owner, and proud card-carrying member of the NRA. He pledged he will introduce legislation that would outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and permit abortion doctors to be jailed.
