Nevada Election Results
It is a big year in this solidly purple state, with competitive races for senator and governor and with open races for two of the state’s four House seats.
The Senate race is of particular interest because Dean Heller is the only Senate Republican up for re-election in a state that Hillary Clinton won in 2016. He faces a serious challenge from a left-of-center representative, Jacky Rosen, a former synagogue president and first-term congresswoman who, like most of her fellow Democrats, is campaigning on health care. Ms. Rosen has jabbed Mr. Heller frequently over his vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Mr. Heller, who once said he was “99 percent against Trump,” has more recently changed his tune and cozied up to the president, who helped clear the primary field for Mr. Heller earlier this year by persuading a rival to drop out.
Term limits prevent the Republican incumbent governor, Brian Sandoval, from running again. The state attorney general, Adam Laxalt, a Republican, will look to fill his shoes, opposed by Steve Sisolak, the Democratic chairman of the Board of County Commissioners in Clark County, where most Nevadans live.
Latino voters make up 28 percent of the state electorate and could shape the outcome of the election, particularly in the Senate race. Polls show that they prefer Ms. Rosen over Mr. Heller. But Democrats nationwide are worried that turnout among Latinos will continue to lag behind other groups.

Susie Lee, a Democrat, and Danny Tarkanian, a Republican, are competing to fill the seat Ms. Rosen vacated to run for senate. The district is drawn to be “fair fight” terrain, with almost equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans. Mr. Tarkanian originally intended to challenge Mr. Heller in the Republican Senate primary, until President Trump intervened and persuaded him to run for Ms. Rosen’s seat instead.
Mr. Tarkanian is a perennial candidate who has run in the past for seats in the Senate, House of Representatives and State Senate. A real estate investor and former college basketball star, he has molded himself in Mr. Trump’s image in this race, promoting an “America First” approach. Ms. Lee, the founder of several nonprofit groups, has significantly outraised Mr. Tarkanian in campaign funds, and the nonpartisan Cook Political Report gives her the advantage.

This seat fell open when the Democratic incumbent, Representative Ruben Kihuen, decided not to seek re-election after two women accused him of sexual harassment. The two candidates now vying for the seat have each held it before, for a single term apiece: Steven Horsford, a Democrat and former state senator, represented the district from 2013 to 2015, and Cresent Hardy, a Republican and former state representative, from 2015 to 2017. Mr. Horsford is thought to have the advantage this time around, although the White House has been sending prominent figures including Vice President Pence to campaign on Mr. Hardy’s behalf in an attempt to energize the Republican base.
