Representative In Congress, District 1
Why you should care
Once a deeply Democratic district in the heart of Las Vegas, CD1 is now considered a battleground. Incumbent Dina Titus (D-NV) is the most liberal member of the congressional delegation and has recently gotten attention for her efforts to undo a tax change that could force gamblers to pay the government more, even when they lose. But her opponent, state Sen. Carrie Buck (R-Henderson), is an educator and charter school leader who has given Washington Republicans hope of finally flipping the seat. She outraised Titus two quarters in a row and is endorsed by President Donald Trump.
