Nevada Governor’s Race Intensifies

Nevada’s voters head to the polls today for a pivotal primary showdown centered on the governor’s race — where incumbent Republican Joe Lombardo faces six GOP rivals while six Democrats battle for their party’s nomination. With the state’s early position in the 2028 presidential calendar, this race could shape national politics. Lombardo, who stunned voters in 2022 by winning by just 1.5%, now faces a crowded GOP field, while Democrats like Attorney General Aaron Ford and Commissioner Alexis Hill vie for the top spot. No presidential or Senate races this year means all eyes are on the governor’s mansion — drawing massive ad spending, even from dark-money groups. Meanwhile, competitive congressional races loom for U.S. House seats held by Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford (who runs unopposed). In Henderson, Mayor Michelle Romero fights four challengers, including former police chief Hollie Chadwick, with a runoff possible if no candidate wins outright. Polls close at 7 PM Pacific, but remain open until every voter in line casts their ballot. Remember: you vote only in your registered party’s primary — but you can switch affiliation at the polls.
