Our spreadsheet and rolling updates show who is in and who is out for races across Nevada.

Candidate filing is still months away — next March for those seeking a statewide, legislative or local government seat — but campaign season is already chugging along, with Republicans and Democrats announcing for public office.

Though judicial candidates cannot file until Jan. 5, and candidates for local government, the Legislature and statewide elections cannot file until March 2, some individuals seeking to attain or maintain a seat have already announced their candidacy and begun fundraising.

To keep you up to date on who has announced a bid for office, staff at The Nevada Independent is using this page to track announcements for public offices in Nevada.

For a full breakdown of who has announced so far, check out our tracker and live updates below. 

Where applicable, candidates who are incumbents are denoted with a star, and party is indicated with colors and a letter following the name of the candidate, red for Republicans (R), blue for Democrats (D) and gray for nonpartisans (NP).  Third-party candidates are marked similarly. Races without declared candidates are not yet listed.

It’s worth noting that nothing is official until candidates actually file for office, so this tracker will likely change. 

Read further below for details on candidate announcements and how races are playing out.

City Councilmember Devon Reese announces Reno mayor bid

Devon Reese, a Reno city councilmember in his second full term, announced his bid for mayor of Reno Tuesday, adding another candidate to an increasingly crowded race to replace termed-out incumbent Hillary Schieve. 

Reese, a lawyer who specializes in representing labor unions, small government entities and families, has served on the council since 2019, first as an appointee and then as an elected representative of the at-large seat, and now as elected representative of Ward 5 after the at-large seat was eliminated during redistricting. His appointment made him the first openly gay member of Reno’s City Council, and a year later, he became Reno’s first openly gay vice mayor.

Reno council and mayor races are nonpartisan, meaning that candidates do not declare their political party, but Reese is registered and previously ran for office as a Democrat, according to the secretary of state’s website. 

His policy priorities include building a park along the river, expanding affordable housing and small business opportunities, increasing protections for drinking water and natural resources, and opening a police substation in each region of the city, according to his campaign website. 

Former Nevada Lt. Gov. Kate Marshall and Ward 1 Councilmember Kathleen Taylor are also running for mayor. Local businessman and frequent mayoral candidate Eddie Lorton has also tossed his hat in the ring.
