Nevada’s primary election results are in! While more ballots are expected, key races are already being called by the news media across the state ballot.
This year, voter turnout across Nevada was surprisingly low at approximately 16 percent. By comparison, the 2022 primary election saw a nearly 26 percent turnout.
The Nevada Credit Union League will continue monitoring vote counts and provide updates as results come in. If you have any questions or want to discuss the results further, email Angelica Pappalardo, political advocacy manager for the League.
Here’s a summary and analysis of the results:
Senate Democrats & Governor’s Endorsed Candidates Shine
Nevada State Senate Democrats had a strong night, with their endorsed candidates projected to defeat all of the Culinary Union’s candidate picks. The Culinary Union (representing thousands of leisure and hospitality workers) had launched a significant attack on the state legislature’s Democrats, backing many challengers.
Regarding Gov. Joe Lombardo’s endorsements, his candidates are projected to win across the board. This sets them up for the General Election in November.

Detailed Analysis of Key Races
The Culinary Union experienced mixed results. This powerful union’s stunt to endorse several legislative Democrats fell flat in the Nevada State Senate.
However, the union did win two races in the Nevada State Assembly where it was at odds with the Democratic caucus picks.

Nevada State Assembly races:
Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo’s endorsements had a clean sweep, indicating strong support for well-funded Republican candidates in key races. Lombardo has been active in legislative races in an effort to prevent two-thirds Democratic majorities in the state senate and assembly. Democrats have a two-thirds majority in the state assembly by one seat, but there is opportunity for Republicans to take Democrat seats and bring the margin to a simple majority. Democrats are one seat away from a super majority in the state senate, with opportunity to take at least one seat from Republicans.
