Democrats control Nevada's state government and most of the congressional delegation, but Republicans may turn the state red in the midterm elections.
Nevada Republican Senate candidate Adam Laxalt is leading by a razor-thin margin in the swing state against incumbent Democrat Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto. He says that voters ‘know that we need a change.’teamed up with rank-and-file members of the state’s powerful Culinary Union, which represents casino, hotel and restaurant workers in Sin City and Reno.
"You look at the issues we have here. The price of gas. The price of food. Crime is a big issue here," Nevada GOP chair Michael McDonald said."You look at school choice. Education’s very big." Chris Moyer, a veteran Democratic operative and communicator, and a former political aide to the late Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid of Nevada, also pointed to the economy.
Cortez Masto made history in 2018 as the first Latina elected to the U.S. Senate. But Republicans in Nevada and in other key states made gains with Spanish-speaking voters in 2020. And the Culinary Union, which represents a heavy immigrant workforce of some 60,000 strong,"is very much engaged and able to knock on doors in a way they couldn’t two years ago. And that’s going to be a key for success for Democrats up and down the ballot," Moyer emphasized.
