Overview

“Even on the toughest days, I’m encouraged to know that The States Project deeply cares about not just the direction of this state, but the direction of our country. Now more than ever, we must look out for each other. And in this moment, when our country is facing so much uncertainty, I’m grateful to know that this community will continue to work toward a better future for Nevadans and for our fellow Americans.”
Speaker Steve Yeager, Nevada Assembly

While we were not able to build a veto-proof supermajority, we successfully defended majorities in both the State Assembly and Senate even as Trump won the state. Nevada shifted 5.5 points towards Trump since the 2020 election, the largest movement outside of Arizona amongst swing states. Prioritizing potential tipping point seats made it possible to maintain governing power in a difficult environment.

As lawmakers in the majority work to achieve the American Promise in the upcoming legislative session, they will be sending life-improving policies to the governor’s desk. And if Lombardo continues to veto popular bills, those will be moments for state lawmakers to highlight and help voters remember in the 2026 elections.

FUEL OUR WORK

Power our ability to select and invest in majority-making districts that can help build and defend governing power for state lawmakers committed to safeguarding our democracy, protecting personal freedoms, and improving lives across the country.

2024

While we weren’t able to fully overcome Nevada’s 5.5-point shift toward Trump, we were able to defend seats that likely would have been lost to the rightwing without our investment and expertise. We fell short of building a veto-proof supermajority, but helped protect governing power in both chambers. 1,683 votes changing would have flipped the seat needed to protect governing power in the Assembly.

2022

In 2022, with the entire Nevada Assembly and half of the Senate up for election, The States Project successfully helped to defend both chambers! Candidates we supported netted one additional seat in the Senate; the Nevada legislature is now just one Senate seat away from a veto-proof supermajority. In the State Assembly, we went into the election needing to avoid four losses. Candidates we supported held every seat they were in and picked up two additional seats.

Six of the candidates we supported faced extremist opponents who denied that President Biden is the rightful president. All six democracy champions won their elections. Every candidate we supported across both chambers won their elections narrowly — most with margins under 5 percent of the vote.
