LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Gov. Joe Lombardo has a more than $13 million lead on his closest competitor in the race for governor, three months before filing opens for the job.
Lombardo, a Republican, raised $4.28 million in 2025 for his campaign, which now has about $9 million on hand. Two affiliated PACs — Better Nevada PAC and Nevada Way PAC — together raised $4.7 million, and now have $5.9 million in the bank.
Lombardo's bottom line: $15 million.

Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford raised $2.23 million for his campaign in the last five months of 2025. A Ford PAC brought in nearly $500,000, which left Ford with nearly $2 million in the bank after expenses.
And Washoe County Commission Chairwoman Alexis Hill, who is battling Ford for the Democratic nomination, brought in more than $271,000.
Attorney general
The Democratic primary for attorney general pits two top officials against each other.
State Treasurer Zach Conine took in more than $458,000 in his campaign account. But his bid got a major boost with a $1 million donation from Jeffrey Berns, a Lake Tahoe millionaire who once pushed to create a blockchain-run smart city in rural Nevada. Berns has donated to Conine's PAC for years.
Conine's top opponent, state Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, D-Clark County, raised $645,000 for her bid. Combined with money she already had in the bank, she has $815,000 on hand. Cannizzaro is a former Clark County prosecutor.
On the Republican side, former Cannabis Compliance Board chairwoman Adriana Guzmán Fralick brought in more than $218,000 for her campaign, and has $175,000 in the bank.
Douglas County Commissioner Danny Tarkanian, meanwhile, reported $390,000 raised, with $340,000 on hand. Although Tarkanian announced for the seat first, the Republican establishment has lined up behind Fralick, including an endorsement from Lombardo.
Clark County Commission District F
Several candidates lined up for the open seat on the Clark County Commission, after incumbent Justin Jones announced last year he would not be seeking re-election to a third and final term.
On the Republican side, businessman Albert Mack recorded the largest haul, with $1.2 million raised. But $500,000 of that total came as a donation from Mack himself.
Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama, R-Clark County, reported raising $636,000 in 2025. She has $770,000 on hand, compared to Mack's $1.1 million.
On the Democratic side, Lenna Hovanessian reported more than $131,000 for her campaign, with $109,000 in the bank. Fellow Democrat Minddie Lloyd's report did not appear on the secretary of state's website Thursday evening.
And former Republican state Sen. Becky Harris, R-Clark County, who is running for the seat as a nonpartisan, reported raising $114,000 for her bid, with $95,000 left in the bank.
Filing for state and local offices opens on March 2 and closes on March 13. The primary election takes place on June 9.
