Election 2022
Voting is the way we as citizens of the United States and its component states, counties and cities express our opinions and preferences. We are periodically asked to mark our ballots for candidates for various offices and to weigh in on proposals to change or enact laws, impose new taxes and many other kinds of questions. Voting is the cornerstone of our democratic process.
Cortez Masto slams Laxalt for inspiring Jan. 6: ‘It is unforgivable’
With poll after poll showing her in a dead heat with Republican Adam Laxalt, Democratic Sen.

A former Clark commissioner and political family connections dot Southern Nevada regent races

The right to access abortion is on the ballot this November. Judge candidates carefully.
We are living in a time of uncertainty as to the meaning of the US Constitution. It is unprecedented. Law is a combination of federal and state constitutions, statutes, regulations, and ordinances. The U.S. Constitution’s supremacy clause (Art VI) establishes that the federal Constitution takes precedence over state laws and even state constitutions. The Supreme […]
Public defender, prosecutor, and civil attorney vie in three-way special election
Judge Michael Villani’s resignation in July created an opening in Clark County Department 17, which will be filled in a three-way special election race among attorney Adam Ganz, prosecutor Lindsey Moors and public defender Jennifer Schwartz. The winning candidate must receive only a plurality, not a majority. Ganz, a civil litigator for 25 years who […]
Wilson gives Berkley a run for his money in Justice Court race
Max Berkley, candidate for Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Dept. 7, spent $180,000 in the June primary election to win 62,295 votes. “I spent $35,000 and we nearly tied,” says Amy Wilson, who came in about 3,300 votes shy of Berkley and will face him in the general election. “It was very close. I […]
Lombardo folds for Trump
During his debate with Gov. Steve Sisolak last weekend, Republican challenger Joe Lombardo was asked if he thought Donald Trump was a great president. “I wouldn’t use that adjective. I wouldn’t say great,” Lombardo responded. “I’d say he was a sound president.” Later that day, Lombardo’s campaign decided to use that adjective after all. The […]

Nevada candidates hope to help Republicans retake House
Note: This is the first of two stories on the positions of candidates running in Nevada’s three competitive U.S. House seats. The second story will examine positions of the Democratic candidates.

Sisolak, Lombardo trade barbs over abortion rights and who loves Nevada businesses more
At what is likely to be the only gubernatorial debate, Republican Joe Lombardo on Sunday stumbled to clarify his seemingly in-conflict positions on abortion rights, saying they are not at risk in Nevada but expressing support for certain restrictions that do not currently exist. The outgoing Clark County sheriff, who is challenging first-term Democratic Gov. […]
Ad campaign warns Marchant seeks to end early voting, vote by mail
A Democratic Association of Secretaries of State-backed group, which launched a wave of advertisements in battleground states, is investing nearly $6 million in Nevada to prevent Republican secretary of state candidate Jim Marchant, an election denier who has pushed conspiracy theories claiming voter fraud, from becoming the top election official. The first Nevada ad, from […]
Chattah, Fiore, and Marchant disgrace and demean the entire state
If Sigal Chattah, Michele Fiore and Jim Marchant had any decency they’d apologize to the people of Nevada and withdraw their candidacies. People who have no business holding public office run for office all the time. Sometimes they even get elected. If Chattah, Fiore, and Marchant were only guilty of being bungling office-shoppers looking for […]
