3 Nevada Legislature races that could shift the state's balance of power
Only a handful of legislative seats on the November ballot stand between Nevada Democrats and a supermajority in the Legislature, which could render Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo powerless in his ability to veto bills in the session.
Democrats are just one seat away from a supermajority in the Senate, and if they maintain their current numbers in the Assembly, they could obtain a supermajority in both chambers that would essentially lead to a one-party rule.
Carrie Buck (R) vs. Jennifer Atlas (D)
Republican Sen. Carrie Buck and Democrat Jennifer Atlas are vying for Senate District 5. In the district that covers parts of Henderson, including Cadence and Whitney Ranch, registered voters are 31 percent Democratic, 30 percent Republican and 31 percent nonpartisan.
Dallas Harris (D) vs. Lori Rogic (R)h
In Senate District 11, which covers southwestern Clark County, Democratic Sen. Dallas Harris is fighting Republican challenger Lori Rogich. Democrats make up 32 percent of the district, nonpartisans make up 34 percent and Republicans make up 26 percent.
Elaine Marzola (D) vs. April Arndt (R)
In Assembly District 21, which covers the Green Valley area of Henderson, Democratic Assemblywoman Elaine Marzola is vying to keep her seat from Republican April Arndt. Democrats make up 33 percent in the district, nonpartisans 31 percent and Republicans 28 percent.
