With President Joe Biden likely to announce his re-election campaign in coming months, a new Nevada Independent / OH Predictive Insights poll finds him trailing both former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

But last year’s redistricting process, which saw Democratic state legislators redraw district lines to pull thousands of Democratic voters from deep-blue District 1 into neighboring Districts 3 and 4, appears to have paid off for the incumbents.

From Oct. 1-19, Cortez Masto raised more than four times as much money as Republican Senate candidate and former Attorney General Adam Laxalt, bringing in $9.1 million to his $2.2 million.

So while you mull when to vote, below are some resources pulled from our handy elections page that could help as you ponder all the choices on this year’s ballot. We have ballot question explainers, race previews and stories detailing candidates’ policy positions. 

This year, the outside groups have made their mark, collectively spending more than $100 million across the three competitive House races and high-profile Senate race, according to data compiled by OpenSecrets, a nonprofit research group dedicated to tracking money in U.S. politics.

As of Sept. 21, the candidates and outside groups had spent $25 million in the battleground district, the most of any “toss-up” House race in the country, according to data from the political ad tracking firm AdImpact.

Even as Republican candidates continue to pummel incumbent Democrats on a faltering economy and sidestep anger over the overturning of Roe v. Wade, they have launched a fresh salvo of attacks over immigration. 

Throughout her campaign, Becker, a Republican, has railed against Democrats for high inflation, raised the alarm about excessive government spending and often tied Lee to unpopular national Democrats.

News of the FBI’s unprecedented search spurred calls to action and even language of violence from various Nevada Republicans running for higher office.

But as Democrats have enthusiastically taken credit for the bill, Republicans appear just as eager to let them.

Lee has, multiple times, tweeted that Becker “will vote for a nationwide abortion ban,” though Becker does not appear to have ever said she will. A representative from Becker’s campaign said she “does not support a nationwide abortion ban.”

Less than four months away from the midterm election in November, the record amounts likely signal the difficult re-election battles each of the Democrats will face over the coming months.

The haul, Lee’s highest this cycle, marks a second-quarter record for any congressional candidate in Nevada.

Since Becker’s victory in the primary election earlier this month, the two candidates have elevated their political attacks on one another in the tight race.

The Supreme Court issued an expected opinion Friday overturning a 50-year constitutional right to abortion and igniting an issue that could play a significant role in the November midterm elections. 

Nevada’s 2022 primary election, held Tuesday, also set the stage for a trio of nationally watched general election congressional matchups.

During the roughly eight-week period captured in the FEC’s pre-primary window, the three top Senate candidates combined to raise $5.8 million, with more than half, $3.6 million, coming from Cortez Masto alone.

Though abortion rights in the Silver State have been protected by state law for more than 30 years, the outcome of the state’s congressional and Senate and gubernatorial elections will likely have implications for abortion protections.

Though none of the Republican candidates in District 3 have held office in the Silver State, Becker has emerged as a front runner in the race, bringing in the most money and earning the backing of the Republican establishment.

Nevada’s congressional incumbents led their respective fields in fundraising during the first quarter of a contentious midterm election year, even as several Republican challengers made major strides.
