All three of Nevada's incumbent House Democrats have won re-election in their Las Vegas-based seats — an expected result after Democrats far outspent Republican candidates who were largely left to fend for themselves by national GOP groups, but uncomfortably close at times for Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV).
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.

Veteran Sam Brown cruised to victory in the race to challenge Sen. Jacky Rosen. A former North Las Vegas mayor endorsed by Trump also prevailed, while a wealth video game composer came in fourth.
