Nevada Politics

CARSON CITY — Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval issued the following statement Friday regarding the 2019-2021 budget building process and priorities:

In a historic move, Nevada is now the first and only state to ever have a female majority state legislation after Rochelle Thuy Nguyen (D) and Beatrice Angela Duran (D) were appointed to two open seats in Las Vegas.

These two appointments bring the total seats held by women to 33 out of a total of 63 seats in the Legislature.

An increase in political polarization that made it hard to peel off swing voters combined with Democratic successes in turning out their voters, led to Nevada GOP candidates getting walloped, said Rep. Mark Amodei, the only remaining Republican in the state’s congressional delegation.

The Carson City Republican Party invites the public to our monthly meeting to hear a presentation by CEO Noreen Leary on the new Veteran's Guest House of Reno. The meeting begins at 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 15, in the Sierra Room of the Carson Nugget, 507 N. Carson St. Social Hour starts at 6:30.
