Scott Fairchild managed Cortez Masto's 2016 Senate race and was in his second stint as chief of staff. He stepped down in 2018 to be DSCC executive director for the 2020 cycle.

Voters may also be primed to reject a similar tax measure, also proposed by the union, that would increase the state sales tax for more education money.

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) has a 9-point lead over her likely Senate race challenger, former Republican Attorney General Adam Laxalt, according to a new Nevada Independent/OH Predictive Insights poll — but President Joe Biden's sizable disapproval rating may play a major role in the race as November draws nearer.

Yang said he is planning a Nevada trip soon that will help promote the initiative and pledged that his group would put forward money, resources and volunteers to get the measure on the 2022 ballot.

"That's the whole purpose behind this — improve that faith and confidence that people have that the votes that were cast were all legitimate, all legal, cast by the people who said they were the voter."

"While the Governor is not a lawyer, he believes if you file a document with blatantly false statements with a government agency, that is a crime, or ought to be a crime," Sisolak's office said in a statement.

Haw plans to announce his candidacy next week, and is expected to bring at least half a million of dollars in campaign cash in the bank — more than any other Republican secretary of state candidate reported raising in 2021.
