LAS VEGAS — In the most recent statewide elections, Nevada voters chose Democratic candidates for every major office on the ballot. The Associated Press projects a clean sweep for the party, reflecting the preferences of the state’s electorate.
Attorney General
State Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro defeated Republican challenger Adriana Guzmán Fralick to become Nevada’s next attorney general. Cannizzaro steps into the role after incumbent Aaron Ford was term‑limited.
Lieutenant Governor
Democratic contender Sandra Jauregui won the lieutenant‑governor race, unseating Republican incumbent Stavros Anthony. Jauregui’s victory adds to the party’s growing representation in Nevada’s executive branch.
Secretary of State
Incumbent Democrat Cisco Aguilar secured a second term as secretary of state, defeating Republican challenger Jim Marchant. Aguilar’s re‑election ensures continuity in the administration of Nevada’s elections and business filings.
State Treasurer
Democrat Tya Mathis‑Coleman prevailed over Republican Drew Johnson to become state treasurer. The office was open after Democrat Zach Conine reached his term limit.
State Controller
In the controller’s race, Democrat Michael MacDougall defeated Republican incumbent Andy Matthews. The controller oversees Nevada’s finances, and MacDougall’s win completes the party’s sweep of the statewide slate.
These results underscore a clear preference among Nevada voters for Democratic leadership at the state level. While the outcomes are local, they contribute to the broader political landscape of the Mountain West, where party alignment can shift from election to election.
Election officials will continue to certify the results in the coming weeks, and the newly elected officials are expected to assume office in early 2027. Voters and observers alike will watch how the new administration addresses issues ranging from fiscal policy to election integrity.
