There are far too many places where women have to pay an unacceptable price because this behavior is still tolerated. These attitudes can still be found at all levels of government, from school boards to state agencies.

It is our duty and it is imperative for us to fact-check these sub-Trumpian lackeys and try to revivify trust in the electorate that they have helped erode. Nothing could be more important for us and all journalists, everywhere. 

Kihuen's hiring raised eyebrows across the state's higher education system, with at least one state legislator saying she was uncomfortable with Kihuen's hiring in a job that would bring him to Carson City.

The move would mark a return to the governmental sphere after Kihuen exited Congress in the wake of a congressional ethics probe into sexual misconduct allegations in 2018.

If the U.S. defaults on its debt, the Treasury will be unable to make payments, potentially ranging from retirees' Social Security to servicemembers' pay at Nellis or Creech Air Force bases. And the longer-term implications could be even more devastating, with a default likely triggering a downgrade of U.S. credit, a rise in costs and even a global recession powered by a weak dollar and job losses.

The bid for caucus leadership comes at a time of transition for the House, with Democrats set to cede control to Republicans in the next session of Congress by just a handful of seats.

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV) calls himself a "son" of his district and he's betting that his constituents will reward him with another term following a slate of legislative victories.

But in District 4 — where incumbent Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV) faces his share of personal challenges and economic headwinds — political conditions could be enough to flip the district red for the second time in its nearly 12-year long history.

Reid, who had been out of office for nearly six years before his death, was able to make those political donations through a loophole in federal campaign finance law that allows retired elected officials to continue to use their campaign accounts for years after they leave office.

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.

The maps divide the Latino population across the four districts, leaving lower concentrations of Latinos in each district and potentially making it more difficult for Latinos to collectively elevate candidates they believe represent their community.

The sum fell short of his second-quarter fundraising haul, more than $570,000 and remains a far cry from his overall quarterly fundraising record of $634,000,set during the third quarter of 2020. 

Cancela will formally join the administration in September after leaving the state in 2020 to work within the federal Department of Health and Human Services.

Nevada's incumbent Democrats padded their campaign war chests through the second quarter, with Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Rep. Susie Lee leading their respective fields.

Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford announced more than $570,000 in second quarter fundraising Thursday, an amount that lifted his campaign war chest to nearly $1.2 million.

The campaign for Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford announced $363,000 in first-quarter fundraising Tuesday, an amount that lifts his campaign war chest to more than $750,000 through the first three months of the midterm election cycle.

The commission unanimously appointed Doñate during its meeting on Tuesday to take over the vacant state Senate seat for District 10, after the Senate Democratic Caucus recommended him for the position. He replaces Yvanna Cancela, who was elected to a four-year term in 2018 but resigned in early January to take a position in the Biden administration.

The applications will go before the Clark County Commission during its Feb. 2 meeting. The board is designated under state law to select a replacement lawmaker of the same political party who resides in the district to carry out the remainder of Cancela's term.

Democrat Ross Miller's Clark County Commission campaign has filed a complaint with the secretary of state's office accusing Republican opponent Stavros Anthony of "numerous campaign finance violations," but Anthony's campaign says they are correcting errors.

In the absence of a statewide race at the top of Nevada's 2020 ballot, many eyes have fallen to a pair of competitive congressional races that could play a role in deciding which party takes control of the House come November.
