NV-SD15: Democrats hope redrawn district give them the edge in Washoe state Senate race

A historically competitive legislative district in Washoe County could be the deciding factor in the Democrats’ quest to clinch a two-thirds supermajority in the state Senate.

Northern Nevada’s Senate District 15 — which spans most of Western Reno — has long been considered a swing-district with a nearly even split between Democratic and Republican registered voters.

That changed when District 15’s boundaries were redrawn under the state’s 2021 redistricting process, giving Democrats a 5-point advantage among active registered voters.

Incumbent Republican Heidi Seevers Gansert chose not to run for reelection in the district, leaving the seat open and attracting a crowd of candidates during the primary.
