Upcoming Nevada Elections: Candidates Gear Up for November
With the November elections fast approaching, Nevada candidates have a five-month window to engage with voters. While the results from Tuesday’s primary elections are still being finalized, some candidates have already emerged as clear frontrunners. For more insights, tune into Purple Politics Nevada with Lucia Starbuck where discussions include Trump-endorsed David Flippo’s victory over a seasoned family cattle-rancher. This sets the stage for his upcoming contest against former state Assembly leader Teresa Benitez-Thompson. Additionally, the political landscape heats up as incumbent Gov. Joe Lombardo faces off with Democratic Attorney General Ford. A critical question looms: Are citizens satisfied with the current trajectory of state and national affairs?
Special Guests: Insights are provided by associate professor of political science Jeremy Gelman, along with College of Southern Nevada history professor Sondra Cosgrove. The show also features sound bites from Benitez-Thompson, Flippo, and Ford, gathered by KUNR’s Lucia Starbuck, Emma Charles, Maria Palma, Lupe Alvarez, as well as contributions from The Nevada Independent’s James Wolfgang Perez and Nick Stewart.
