Flippo Triumphs in Nevada's Key Race

David Flippo, Trump-backed Republican, wins Nevada’s Second Congressional District primary, defeating James Settelmeyer and setting up a November showdown with Democrat Teresa Benitez-Thompson. Flippo’s late pivot to the district and Trump alignment sealed his victory, earning him the Washoe County GOP endorsement. Meanwhile, Benitez-Thompson, a social worker and former legislator, edges out investor Greg Kidd. In the governor’s race, incumbent Joe Lombardo and Attorney General Aaron Ford advance to November, while new faces Nicole Cannizzaro and Adriana Guzman Fralick will replace Ford in the AG race. Locally, Kate Marshall leads Reno mayor’s race, while Ed Lawson and Adam Mayberry hold early leads in Sparks — and a tight City Council Ward 2 race remains undecided.
