Here's whose funding the abortion, voter ID questions on the Nevada ballot

The group seeking to enshrine abortion rights in the Nevada Constitution has raised more than $815,000 so far in 2026, far outpacing the two PACs working to defeat the measure, according to campaign finance reports recently filed with the secretary of state.

Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom's haul this cycle includes six-figure checks from a national Planned Parenthood affiliate, a prominent Bay Area Democratic donor and a group founded by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D). The group is campaigning for Question 6, which would enshrine Nevada's abortion law — already among the more permissive in the country, allowing the procedure through 24 weeks of pregnancy — in the state Constitution, shielding it from future legislative or legal challenges.

Meanwhile, there's been relatively little fundraising around Question 7, the initiative that would require Nevada voters to show photo identification at the polls or provide part of a personally identifiable number when voting by mail. The leading PACs on either side of the measure reported little to no contributions through the first half of the year.

These fundraising figures reflect filings covering January through June of 2026. The next disclosure form, covering July through September, is due Oct. 15 — the last campaign finance report either side will file before the Nov. 3 election. A final report, covering October through December, isn't due until January 2027, meaning any fundraising or spending in a campaign's final month won't be publicly disclosed until more than two months after voters have already cast their ballots.

Nevada voters already approved both ballot questions by wide margins in 2024 — 64.4 percent for Question 6 and 73.2 percent of the vote for Question 7. But as both questions would amend the state Constitution, they must pass in two consecutive general elections to take effect. 

That is why the two measures — the only ones on the 2026 general election ballot — will be back before voters. 

Question 6: Abortion rights

The money Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom has raised through the first two reporting periods of 2026 comes from a mix of old and new donors. The group has already spent nearly $49,300 of it.

Quinn Delaney, a Piedmont, California-based donor, contributed $250,000 to the PAC. Delaney has donated more than $5.2 million to federal Democratic candidates and committees since 1992. Her largest federal political recipient has been Planned Parenthood Votes, which received $1.15 million from her, mostly in 2020.

Delaney sits on the board of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and co-founded the Akonadi Foundation, an Oakland-based foundation focused on racial justice causes, with her husband, real estate investor Wayne Jordan.

Beyond Delaney, the PAC's other top contributors are organizations.

Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte, which gave another $250,000, is the advocacy arm of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, the largest Planned Parenthood affiliate in the country that operates 30 health centers in California and Nevada.

Reproductive Freedom for All, previously NARAL Pro-Choice America, contributed $200,000. The organization has been fighting for abortion access for more than 50 years, making it one of the oldest national organizations of its kind. 

Think Big America, the group founded by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, gave an additional $100,000. The organization is a newer entrant that operates as a 501(c)(4) and does not disclose its individual donors — but it's already a familiar presence in Nevada, having contributed $1.15 million to Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom during the 2024 campaign.

A $10,000 contribution also came from Shannon Hunt-Scott of Los Gatos, California, president and co-founder of the Scott Foundation, a private grant-making organization focused on educational equity, social entrepreneurship, civic engagement and reproductive justice. Hunt-Scott serves as PAC chair and vice chair of Reproductive Freedom for All and is married to Kevin Scott, Microsoft's chief technology officer.

The group also received smaller contributions from Nevada donors, including $5,000 from lobbyist Alisa Nave-Worth.

Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom's spending has gone largely toward legal and consulting services, including $15,000 in fees to Bravo Schrager, a Las Vegas law firm specializing in campaign finance and ballot measure law, and $20,000 to Six Four One Strategies, a Las Vegas-based consulting firm run by Democratic consultant Peter Koltak.

Opposition to Question 6 remains far less funded. Protect Our Girls, a PAC registered to oppose the measure, has raised $10,000 this cycle — $5,000 each from Ron and Diane Baker of Carson City — and spent more than $3,000, largely on printing services.

A second PAC, Students for Life Action Ballot PAC, has raised nearly $1,700, entirely from its Virginia-based national affiliate, Students for Life of America. The group has not reported any expenses.

Fundraising on either side of the ballot question is still down compared to 2024, when Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom raised more than $11 million.

Representatives of Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, Protect Our Girls and Students for Life Action Ballot PAC did not return requests for comment.

Question 7: Voter ID

Repair the Vote, the PAC that originally qualified Question 7 for the ballot, has so far this year raised $3,000 from a single donor, Carol J. Carter, whose listed contribution address matches that of Carter Powersports, a family-owned Las Vegas motorsports dealership. 

The PAC reported $2,000 in expenses to Campaign Engine Group, a political fundraising and marketing agency headquartered in Washington, D.C.

Repair the Vote leader David Gibbs, former Clark County GOP chair, said the PAC's modest fundraising so far reflects the pre-Labor Day lull typical of non-presidential election years. 

"Prior to June, people were paying attention to the primary, and they were putting the money into the primary, into candidates and stuff like that," he said. "Now that that's over and settled, some folks are looking in other directions on what they can support, and so we're starting to see some pickup on that." 

Gibbs said the campaign's strategy so far has centered on resoliciting past donors, along with radio appearances, podcasts and speeches around the state — much of it, he said, mirroring the approach the campaign took in 2024. He said a broader push, including door-to-door canvassing by allied organizations, won't ramp up until after Labor Day.

Support for Question 7 in the last election cycle flowed largely through an offshoot of the pro-Lombardo Better Nevada PAC, which later rebranded as Nevada Voter ID Coalition. Much of that money traced back to Las Vegas Sands, which gave $1.5 million before $1.4 million of it was passed along to the offshoot committee; Repair the Vote ultimately raised more than $300,000. 

Nevada Voter ID Coalition has not reported any contributions this year, though it has spent $3,000 on consulting services with JBurke Communications LLC, run by Better Nevada spokesman John Burke.

On the opposition side, Nevada Voter Freedom Alliance — the PAC formed by the progressive group Battle Born Progress to fight the initiative — has also not reported any contributions this cycle. It has spent $2,400 on consulting fees paid to Battle Born Progress, a progressive nonprofit.

Nevada Voter Freedom Alliance raised $60,000 over the full 2024 cycle, according to its annual filing.

A newly registered PAC, Yea7Nay6DotNet, based in Reno, has not reported any contributions or expenses this cycle. It was created to support Question 7 and oppose Question 6. 

Representatives for Nevada Voter ID Coalition, Nevada Voter Freedom Alliance and Yea7Nay6DotNet did not return requests for comment.
