Gov. Joe Lombardo raised more than $3.2 million in 2024 and has more than $5.5 million in cash on hand as the Republican governor gears up for his second legislative session and a high-profile re-election campaign.

Much of the funding driving the marquee ballot questions is coming from large, out-of-state groups that are working to advance these policies via ballot measures in multiple states and are fueling high-dollar TV ad blitzes.

Across the 10 contests most likely to determine whether Democrats secure a two-thirds supermajority in both chambers, the Democratic candidate in six of those races outraised their Republican opponent from July through September.

From July through September, Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) raised about $3.5 million more than her GOP opponent, Sam Brown. In the three House races in Southern Nevada, Democrats raked in hundreds of thousands more than their opponents.

The Nevada Alliance has given more than $7 million to left-leaning causes, but does not have to disclose its donors because of federal tax reporting rules.

An analysis found 26 new PACs and political nonprofits were registered between April 1 and the June 11 primary. The groups raked in more than $1.6 million in that period, which only became public this month.

The contribution was the Sands’ largest contribution on the state level this election cycle.

With the primary finalized and congressional contests now set, Democrats — and a self-funding independent — maintained massive financial leads over their Republican opponents through the end of June.

Across 10 contested legislative races throughout the second quarter, Democratic and Republican candidates each led the fundraising race in five of them.

The haul broke the record set by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) two years ago and builds off a record-setting $5 million raised in the first quarter.

In the two races in which recounts took place, vote totals shifted by at most five votes.

Uber and the Clark County Education Association gave millions to back initiatives related to teacher strike laws and attorney fees. Left-leaning "dark money" groups gave more than $750,000.

Several Republican challengers have made six figure loans to their own campaigns, as they try to catch up to the massive war chests of the Democratic incumbents.

Pharmaceutical companies gave more than $7.5 million to politicians and PACs since 2017. Republicans received more than Democrats, but access to politicians drives spending more than policy agendas.

Rosen's donor base lives in all 50 states and frequently donated to other Democratic senators in swing states. Brown's base is less robust, but experts expected to increase if he becomes the GOP nominee.

Though somewhat overshadowed by the presidential race, Rosen and Nevada’s three House Democrats have continued to raise money at a similar pace to the 2022 election cycle — a record-setting midterm in Nevada for election spending.

One of the biggest fundraising hauls came from Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, a PAC seeking to enshrine abortion access in the Nevada Constitution via ballot initiative. The group recorded raising $1.8 million, driven primarily by $1 million from Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Think Big America.

Those contributions include a maximum $10,000 donation from the CCEA PAC to Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro (D-Las Vegas) a day after the vote.

Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) raised $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and heading into her 2024 re-election bid has $10.6 million in cash on hand — a record for an incumbent senator in Nevada at this point in the election cycle.

The only incumbent to be outraised by an opponent was Rep. Dina Titus, (D-NV) who saw a Republican opponent, Flemming Larsen, loan his campaign $200,000 of his own funds in the third quarter. Titus reported raising just over $122,000 in the quarter.
