Nevada Governor

The closest rating in Nevada: held by Republicans (Lombardo). Cook Political Report ratings, entered by the lab. One other race is rated toss-up or lean.

Statewide races

A governor’s race is on the 2026 ballot. Once a primary is called, only the candidates recorded as advancing are listed; before that, everyone running.

Each race links to its own page: the candidates, what they say and the money they report. Cook Political Report ratings, entered by the lab (last updated by the lab on Jun 24, 2026); a forecaster’s judgement about the general election, not the lab’s.

House races

Five House races, three with a recorded primary result.

House districts follow the candidates’ FEC filings. Where a state redrew its map for 2026, a few candidates may still appear under their old district number.

What the candidates say

12 of Nevada’s 19 candidates have 10 or more classified statements. 12 have 50 or more and are ranked against candidates nationwide.

An AI model reads each statement and marks the kinds of statement it contains; a candidate’s rate is the share of their statements with that label. Incumbent members of Congress are measured on everything they publish in office, everyone else on posts on X. A rate describes what was said, not whether it was right.
