Republican Candidates Rally to Restore Balance in Nevada Legislature

The 2024 Right Leaders Network (RLC) is spotlighting a group of Republican candidates hoping to reclaim control of Nevada’s state legislature, organized by the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), seeking to strengthen the party by promoting women and diverse candidates for down-ballot positions.

Over the weekend, the RSLC launched its 2024 Right Leaders Network (RLN) Spotlight Candidates Series, featuring several Nevada candidates poised for the upcoming elections. Among the challengers are April Arndt for Assembly District 21, Rafael Arroyo for Assembly District 41, Lisa Cole for Assembly District 4, Annette Owens for Assembly District 29, Lori Rogich for Senate District 11, and Diana Sande for Assembly District 25.

The candidates have received endorsements from Governor Joe Lombardo, who is working to preserve his veto power amid a Democrat-controlled legislature.

Nevada Democrats hold a supermajority in the Assembly and are just one seat shy of achieving the same in the Senate. If they secure that additional Senate seat while maintaining their Assembly control, they would create a veto-proof supermajority, significantly hampering Lombardo and his Republican colleagues’ ability to pass legislation.

The RSLC plans to implement a new email campaign and a strategic social media initiative. Earlier this year, the RSLC and its affiliated PAC launched the “Republican Roadmap” ad campaign, highlighting state Republicans as “the last line of defense” for constituents during the election year.
