2026Election Stories

The latest campaign finance reports, filed with the Federal Election Commission earlier this week, mark the first look at congressional fundraising since a redistricting special session in November.

A recently created political action committee has set its sights on reviving the politically divisive concept of education savings accounts.

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.

Election officials, including Republican Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, have said there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in that election, much less to an extent that could tip the results.

Lombardo also found ground among non-major party voters, leading Sisolak 52 percent to 48 percent among registered voters identified as independents.

The 31 regulations, heard through three days of online public workshops last week that stretched over 11 hours of real time, are set to filter through an adoption process this week that may amend some regulations and allow adjustments suggested by state Republicans. 

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."

The resort association said it has already raised more than $2 million from association members to "recruit, assess, endorse, and elect state legislative candidates in 2022." 

The subpoenas, issued Friday, name Michael McDonald and Jim DeGraffenreid along with other state-level GOP officials who participated as "alternative electors."

Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV) raised $460,000 from October to December of last year, boosting his cash on hand to $1.67 million, his campaign told The Nevada Independent on Tuesday.

Democratic Rep. Susie Lee announced more than $620,000 in fourth-quarter fundraising on Monday, raising her cash on hand to nearly $1.79 million as the 2022 midterms draw closer.

The rise in violent threats has sparked a national exodus of election workers. Dozens of local election officials in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have left their positions in the past 14 months. In Nevada, similar changes are happening.

"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.

The number marks a slight dip from the $1.4 million Laxalt raised in the third quarter, making Laxalt the only one of the three major Senate candidates to raise less money in the fourth quarter than they did in the third. 

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sam Brown reported the second straight quarter of roughly $1 million in fundraising, further cementing his upstart challenge to presumed Republican frontrunner Adam Laxalt. 

Tuesday marked the first major campaign finance deadline of the 2022 election cycle, with candidates required to submit their contribution and expense reports for the past calendar year.

Sisolak announced on Tuesday that he has raised $4.5 million in the calendar year 2021, and has $8.28 million cash on hand. Lombardo reported raising $3.1 million since launching his campaign in June .

But heading into the 2022 midterms, Democrats no longer have a clear advantage in voter registration, as non-major party voters surpassed Democratic and Republican voters for the first time in state history last August.
