CARSON CITY – State Republicans and Democrats today released their proposals for new state legislative political districts.
The competing proposals for state Assembly and Senate districts both keep the Legislature at its current size of 63 legislators.
The Democratic proposal, however, includes Senate districts inside of which are nested two Assembly districts. Democrats said they introduced “nesting” in order to simplify and harmonize how Nevadans are represented at the state levels.
