Nevada Republicans Fend off Millions in Outside Spending to Prevent Democrat Supermajorities
Washington, D.C. – Nevada Republicans fended off millions in Democrat outside spending to prevent Democrat supermajorites in both state legislative chambers. Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) President Dee Duncan issued the following statement following Republicans’ victory:
“Nevada Republicans had a successful election night by preventing the Democrats from gaining supermajorities in the state Assembly and Senate despite being grossly outspent and outraised by state and national Democrats. By successfully executing on a messaging strategy that resonated with Nevadans, state Republicans are in a great position to work with Governor Lombardo to pass an agenda to make Nevada a better place to live and work. We will continue to allocate the necessary resources to chip away at the Democrats’ advantage in the Assembly and the Senate.”
The Republican State Leadership Committee designated the Nevada House and Senate as a place for strong and meaningful growth at the beginning of this election cycle by investing in the Silver State early as part of the organization's historic $38 million across 21 states.
The RSLC continuously stressed that investing early would be the best way to combat the historic amount of money numerous outside groups on the left poured into state legislative races, with groups like the DLCC committed to spending $60 million at the beginning of the year, the States Project committed to spending $70 million and Forward Majority committed to spending $45 million, meaning Republicans were up against at least $175 million this year nationwide. In Nevada, Democrats spent over $1.1 million on paid media alone.
