| 🗳️ Governor’s Race | Democrat Aaron Ford, the current Attorney General, defeated incumbent Republican Joe Lombardo to become the next Nevada governor. The Associated Press called the race at 1:46 a.m. based on numbers that saw Ford with 51% of the vote while Lombardo had 45%. | | Assembly member Sandra Jauregui (D) defeated Lt. Gov. Stavros Anthony (R) to be elected Lieutenant Governor. The results reflect a "blue wave" across the country that's widely viewed as an unofficial referendum on President Trump. | | 🗳️ Congressional Results | District 1: Dina Titus (D) ✅ Carrie Ann Buck (R) ❌ | District 2: Teresa Benitez-Thompson (D) ✅ David Flippo (R) ❌ | District 3: Susie Lee (D) ✅ Marty O'Donnell (R) ❌ | District 4: Steven Horsford (D) ✅ Cody Whipple (R) ❌ | - The only real surprise here was District 2, which represents Northern Nevada, switching to a Democrat for the first time in history 👀 [Nevada Independent]
| | 🗳️ Mayoral Races | Henderson Mayor Michelle Romero won reelection over former police chief Holly Chadwick. In the North Las Vegas mayoral race, Daniele Monroe-Moreno, a state assembly member and Nevada Democratic Party chair, defeated Scott Black, a North Las Vegas councilman and mayor pro tem. Oh, and Boulder City has a new mayor too. It’s Joe Hardy. | | | 🗳️ Ballot Questions | Question 6: Make the right to an abortion constitutional? ✅ | Question 7: Require ID to vote? ✅ | - Why 6 and 7 and not 1 and 2? Both carried over from 2024, since ballot measures require two elections before becoming law in Nevada. City Cast Las Vegas discussed a third potential question that failed to materialize this year. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
| | 🗳️ Further Results | - The full list of Nevada results includes the latest, updated numbers for the above contests, plus projected winners for State Senate, State Assembly, Education Board, and judicial races in Clark County. [Silver State Election]

| What Las Vegas's Talking About |
| 🗳️ Voting Delays: Worth It 👍 | Benjamin Franklin said the United States is only a republic “if you can keep it,” so let's salute the Nevadans who valued their right to vote so much, they waited hours in line to cast a ballot. (But maybe next time … give early voting a shot.) [Las Vegas Review-Journal] | - The final ballot in Nevada was cast five hours after polls closed at 7 p.m. According to law, those in line when polls close can still cast a ballot. Results aren't announced until the final vote is processed. [Associated Press]
| | 🚨 Sex Offenders Arrested in Crackdown | In a five-day sweep by police, close to 2,000 sex offenders were contacted in Clark County over registration status, leading to nearly 20 arrests, including eight who failed to obey sex offender registration laws. See if any of your Facebook friends made the list. [KLAS] | | 🥵 Does Nevada Handle Heat the Right Way? | Nevada’s workplace guidelines for heat protection are held up as a standard for the rest of the nation, but the flexibility that businesses favor lead to inconsistencies in enforcement. According to OSHA records, more than 80% of Nevada’s heat-related workplace complaints are in Clark County with the greatest number in hospitality environments like hotels, casinos, and restaurants. [Nevada Current] | | | 🏆 The Votes Are In … | In the one competitive race you really care about: Dusty the Diamondback of Desert Oasis High School went all the way and was crowned champion in America’s Greatest High School Mascot. Dusty beat out thousands of submissions from throughout the country. Congrats 🥳 [KLAS] |
