2026 Primary Election: Updates and results from key races for Las Vegas and beyond

"The result marks one of the most closely watched ballot questions in Nevada in recent years. It represents a clear mandate from voters who chose to invest in the future of our city."

I’ve never forgotten who sent me to Congress and why. My job is to deliver results for the working people and families who make Nevada work. Whether it’s lowering costs, protecting healthcare, creating pathways to good-paying jobs, expanding workforce training, increasing access to affordable housing, or protecting Social Security and Medicare, I’ve fought every day to move Nevada forward. We still have more work to do, but I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and I’m ready to keep delivering for Nevada.

I'm grateful to every volunteer, supporter, donor, and voter who believed in our campaign and our vision for a stronger Nevada. This campaign has always been about the people who call Nevada home and the opportunities that make our state special.

For years, Nevadans have been left to fend for themselves while politicians in Washington, D.C., focus on political agendas that have little to do with the reality here in Nevada. Nevadans deserve a representative who delivers more than a photo op. The people I speak with are looking for someone who understands their struggles and can deliver results.

To me, Nevada First means putting Nevadans at the top of the priority list every single day. No matter where you come from, Nevada has become home to generations of families looking for opportunity and a better life. I'm proud to be a fourth-generation Nevadan, but I also love and appreciate my friends and neighbors who came here as first-generation Nevadans seeking the same opportunities that have drawn people to this state for generations.

Nevada's story is one of hard work, independence, and opportunity. Whether your family arrived here 150 years ago or 15 months ago, if you work hard, contribute to your community, and believe in the future of this state, you belong here. Nevada First means fighting for those families, lowering costs, creating jobs, protecting our communities, and ensuring the next generation has even greater opportunities.

I especially want to thank my wife, Dana, and our three daughters. Running for Congress requires sacrifices from the entire family, and I could not do this without their love, support, and encouragement. They are my greatest blessing and my greatest motivation.

Tonight is an important milestone, but the real work begins now. I look forward to earning the support of voters across Nevada's 4th Congressional District and delivering the kind of leadership that puts Nevada and Nevadans first.

“Democrats have to win this and turn Nevada back to a fully blue state. Ford and I will continue to talk about how we can collaborate on policy to make investments in Nevadans and modernize our state revenue laws in order to fully fund a broad support system for our most vulnerable neighbors.”

I am honored and humbled by the results tonight. A special thank you to Governor Lombardo, President Trump, but most importantly, the voters who placed their trust in me. It has been an honor to speak with Nevadans across the state over these last months about the issues they face, and I am honored they chose me to represent them in the General Election.

Nevadans deserve an Attorney General who will fight for them, not the special interests who fund their travel or political ideologies. This campaign is about fighting for what Nevadans need – a chief law enforcement officer who prioritizes working collaboratively with law enforcement to keep our streets safe.

“I want to thank Nevadans north and south, rural and urban, for their overwhelming support for this campaign. Nevada is under threat from a corrupt President and giant corporations trying to rip us off, but tonight Republicans nominated a candidate whose number one priority is groveling to Donald Trump. I’ve taken on the big fights to protect reproductive rights, lower health care and drug costs, and go after corporate investors who have jacked up the cost of housing. As a former prosecutor, I don’t back down easy. I’m ready to take the fight to anyone who tries to make life harder for Nevadans, and that’s exactly what I’ll do as Attorney General.”

"I wish to thank the people of Southern Nevada for reaffirming their support for me. As I have stood up for them over the last decade, today they stood up for me and our collective values and commitment to build better lives for the people of Congressional District 1. That means higher-paying jobs, affordable health insurance, bringing down the cost of living, and preserving the unique environment of Southern Nevada.

Now we must move on to win congressional races in Nevada and elsewhere to reclaim the Democratic majority in Congress. That is our one chance to stop the destructive domestic and international policies of Donald Trump.

A Democratic majority in at least one house will force Republicans to negotiate with us rather than rubber stamp the agenda of an unhinged president. The road to victory in November will be difficult as national Republican organizations pour millions into the campaigns of our Republican opponents. But I am confident we will win because the people of Southern Nevada will know who is really on their side."

I am humbled by the results of tonight’s primary and honored to be the Republican nominee in Nevada’s third congressional district. I want to thank President Trump, Governor Lombardo, and the thousands who turned out in this election for their show of support and trust in me to deliver for Southern Nevada.

One good job used to put a roof over your head, dinner on the table, and take your family on vacation. In Susie Lee’s Nevada, far too many have to work multiple jobs just to get by. She said she wouldn’t apologize for creating our inflation crisis and now she wants voters to believe she will fix it? She can’t rewrite her history.

Over the last year, Susie has voted against no tax on tips, been caught once again using her position to enrich herself, and obstructed attempts to secure our border. The contrast between my vision and her vision for our future couldn’t be more different. Susie Lee has lost touch with Southern Nevada, and come November, she will lose her job.

“Tonight’s decisive victory is a mandate – and a preview. Nevadans have seen what our state looks like when Joe Lombardo, Trump’s human doormat, is at the helm: drug prices that keep climbing while his campaign cashes checks from Big Pharma. Energy bills that keep rising while NV Energy funds his political operation. A governor who told working Nevadans breaking their backs to get by that we need to ‘feel a little pain’ while his biggest donors saw increased profits.

“Attorney General Aaron Ford has spent his life on the other side of that equation. He grew up stressed about the cost of basic necessities and dealing with a system rigged against working people trying to get ahead. That’s why he sued Big Pharma to hold them accountable for jacking up the price of life-saving medications, and why he’s fighting NV Energy in court right now over the demand charge that’s ripping off Nevada consumers. The corporations writing Joe Lombardo’s checks are the same ones Aaron Ford is taking to court.

“The contrast in this race couldn’t be clearer. This November is a choice between a doormat of a governor who has spent four years telling Nevadans to accept less, and a champion who has spent his career fighting for more on behalf of Nevadans – lower costs, real accountability, and a state where working families aren’t an afterthought. Aaron Ford is the only candidate in this race who has the vision, the plans, and the tenacity to make that dream into a reality. We’re going to win this general election by building a multiracial working-class coalition united around the promise of a better future for Nevada’s working families.”

“Four years ago, Nevadans placed their trust in me to lead this state, and I am deeply grateful for every voter who made that possible. Together, we've delivered real results - creating nearly 100,000 new jobs, attracting over $6 billion in private investment, leading the nation in job and wage growth, improving our schools, strengthening public safety, and making housing more affordable.

But there is more to do. Too many families are still feeling the pressure of rising costs, too many students need greater opportunities to succeed, and too many communities are waiting for the next chapter of growth and investment. We cannot afford to slow down now.

That's why I'm running for another term. I am honored by the confidence Nevadans have placed in me, and I will continue working every day on behalf of every Nevadan - whether they voted for me or not. Together, we will build on our progress, finish the job, and make Nevada the best place in America to live, work, and raise a family.”
