The fool or the fools who follow him?

Nevada was a surprise defeat for Democrats in 2024, becoming the only state that went blue in 2016 and 2020 to flip to Trump last time around. Anger about some of the nation’s worst housing prices, the appeal of populist policies like no taxes on tips and a general rightward shift among the Latino vote made the difference in this battleground. But two years later the promised lower prices are nowhere to be found and we’ve got a chance to repair some of the damage.

Attorney General Aaron Ford is challenging incumbent GOP governor Joe Lombardo, who blocked a record number of bills passed by the Democratic-controlled legislature. If he wins, he’s pledged to push some of them through, including paid family leave, capping the cost of prescription drugs at levels negotiated by Medicare, universal free school meals, and blocking private equity from mass purchase and ownership of housing, along with finally repealing the state’s “right to work” law.

Further down the ballot, Democratic Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar is being challenged by his 2022 opponent Jim Marchant, an election conspiracy theorist who has proposed un-registering every voter in the state. We’re also defending the seats of Reps. Dina Titus and Susie Lee, and have an opportunity to flip a northern Nevada congressional district Dems have never won before as former Assembly majority leader Teresa Benitez-Thompson takes on full-throated MAGA candidate David Flippo, who’s been exposed for stolen valor and publicly rejected by the retiring Republican incumbent.

In short, there’s plenty at stake here, and the Nevada Dems are seeking our help. They’ve just opened up text training to help them reach more voters in the closing days of this campaign. 💬 Let’s sign up to help text out the vote here. 💬

Don't let Donald Trump win, vote him out.
