GOP primary for open US House seat and Democratic governors race highlight Nevada ballot
Closed primaries are deciding nominees in several close races, including contests shaped by housing costs, energy demand and election security debates.
- On Tuesday, Nevadans cast ballots in primary elections to select party nominees for governor and two closely watched congressional seats in the 2nd and 3rd Districts.
- Seeking to replace retiring Republican Rep. Mark Amodei in the 2nd District, former state Sen. James Settelmeyer is backed by Amodei and Gov. Joe Lombardo, while political newcomer David Flippo won President Donald Trump's endorsement last week.
- The 3rd Congressional District, considered Nevada's most competitive race, features Republicans battling Democratic Rep. Susie Lee. Trump-backed Marty O'Donnell and other candidates ran on border security, energy independence, and decreasing federal debt.
- Republican candidates for Secretary of State, including Jim Marchant and Sharron Angle, are emphasizing election integrity and voter ID requirements. Shirley Folkins-Roberts denies there is widespread fraud in Nevada's elections.
- Winners of today's primaries advance to the November 3 general election, crucial for Democrats hoping to retain control of the U.S. House. Results may take days to confirm as election officials verify mail ballots through June 15.
