NV-SD15: On the Record: Senate District 15 candidates Angie Taylor (D) and Mike Ginsburg (R)
It’s no secret that Nevada’s legislative power is consolidated in populous Southern Nevada.
But Northern Nevada’s Senate District 15 could be key to Democrats clinching their first two-thirds Senate supermajority this century.
The district covering southwestern Washoe County, which used to favor Republicans but shifted to have a significant Democratic voter registration advantage under the state’s 2021 redistricting process, is open after Sen. Heidi Seevers O'Gara (formerly Seevers Gansert) (R-Reno) announced last year that she would not run for re-election.
Democrat Angie Taylor, a former two-term Washoe County School Board member and one-term assemblywoman, is squaring off against Republican Mike Ginsburg, a Washoe County resident whose family is deeply rooted in the community and who has worked at NV Energy for the past 39 years.
Taylor, the first Black woman to represent a Northern Nevada district in the Assembly, highlighted her experience in the Legislature, expertise in education and track record of working across the aisle with Republicans including Gov. Joe Lombardo.
