NV-02: And then there were 8. Democratic field narrows slightly in race for CD2.
The Democratic primary race for Nevada’s Congressional District 2 began with 11 candidates. Eight are still standing.
The district, which has been red since its creation following the 1980 census, encompasses much of Northern Nevada and its largely rural counties. Rep. Mark Amodei, who has held the seat since 2011, is stepping aside.
The closest a Democrat has come to winning the district was in 2006, when Jill Derby lost the general election to Republican Dean Heller by 5.4%.
Republicans outnumber Democrats in CD2 196,326 to 122,535 registered voters. Democrats are hoping some 157,396 registered non-partisans, disillusioned by President Donald Trump, could help them turn the tide.
