With supermajorities on the table, here are the Nevada State Legislature districts to watch

Barring a “red wave” that nobody is predicting, Republicans will once again be in the minority of both houses of the Nevada Legislature when it convenes in a little more than three months.

The question is whether the Democratic majorities will be merely large enough to thwart Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo’s agenda — as happened during the 2023 legislative session — or large enough to effectively circumvent Lombardo and enact a Democratic agenda of their own.

All 42 Assembly seats and half of the 21 Senate seats are up for re-election this year.

Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo has made blocking a Democratic supermajority a priority, because, if Democrats are able to secure two-thirds of seats in both the Assembly and the Senate, they could override any of his gubernatorial vetoes, of which there have been dozens.

Lombardo endorsed a slate of candidates early in the election cycle, and political action committees aligned with him have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into the most competitive races. “Protect the veto” has been a rallying cry among many of those candidates.
