CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Former Democratic Party Chairwoman Roberta Lange got a big endorsement from former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid but is trailing a sitting assemblywoman in a hotly contested Las Vegas-area state senate race.
Lange also was backed by the influential Las Vegas' Culinary Union Local 226.
But results released early Wednesday morning showed Lange trailing Assemblywoman Ellen Spiegel 40% to 33%.
Count Continues: Nevada 2020 primary election results

The primary was largely conducted with mailed-in ballots.
The Nevada Secretary of State is scheduled to update vote totals on Thursday.
