Nevada House Representatives All Leading Reelection Bids | Nevada | News

Nevada’s incumbent congressional representatives all led their opponents in the early results of Tuesday’s elections.

Titus received 51.5 percent of the vote to Mark Robertson’s 46.0 percent in Nevada’s 1st congressional district, marking the second time the Republican failed in his challenge to the longtime representative. Titus and Robertson faced off in 2022 when Titus won by about 5.6 percentage points.

Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford led in Nevada’s 4th Congressional District against former North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee, 53.5 percent to 44.5 percent.

The race between Democratic Rep. Susie Lee and Republican challenger Drew Johnson were closer, with Lee with 50.7 percent and Johnson with 49.3 percent of the vote.

Republican incumbent Mark Amodei had defeated Greg Kidd and three other candidates in the 2nd Congressional District, according to the Associated Press.

Titus and Horsford’s lead came as expected, with the nonpartisan Cook Political Report labeling only Lee’s race in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District as somewhat competitive.

Lee and Johnson have been active in engaging voters this election cycle, campaigning with surrogates and organizing many campaign events in the district that covers parts of Summerlin, Red Rock and Spring Valley.

Lee has served Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District since 2019. Originally from Canton, Ohio, Lee moved to Las Vegas in 1993 where she worked in the nonprofit education sector. She ranked twelfth among the 20 Democratic representatives who most frequently broke ranks with their party, and she is vice chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus.

A native of Tennessee, Johnson has lived in Southern Nevada for about a decade. He founded the Beacon Center, a public policy think tank, and worked at several organizations researching government transparency, taxation, budgeting, transportation, energy and international policy issues. Johnson previously ran for Clark County Commission in 2022, but lost by fewer than 400 votes.
