Nevada's 4th Congressional District was a battleground district in 2016. State Sen. Ruben Kihuen (D) defeated Republican incumbent Cresent Hardy, Steve Brown (L), and Mike Little (Independent American) in the general election on November 8, 2016. Hardy defeated challengers Mike Monroe and Wayne Villines in the Republican primary, while Kihuen defeated seven other Democrats to win the nomination in the primary.

Campaign themes

- Engagement: . We have citizens in America who are willing to go across the ocean and die for their country, but who won’t cross the street to vote. I can help change that and activate the voter base in our state. I bring excitement to my rallies and events and I have an unbridled passion for a progressive America.
- High Tech Jobs: Some of my opponents have suggested raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. It’s ambitious, but short-sighted. I plan to bring clean energy jobs to Nevada. I also plan to help make it easier to being tech companies into Nevada. When I talk to residents in my district they aren’t asking for a higher wage, they are asking for more jobs in Nevada. Let’s make that happen and the average wage in Nevada will rise while unemployment plummets.
- Healthcare: Everyone should be taken care of when they are sick. When I talk to voters, they tell me they don’t understand their healthcare options.
- Money in Politics: I will work to overturn Citizen’s United. It is entirely possible to have campaign finance reform. I do not believe that “corporations are people” and they need to have less power in the political process. The majority of voters I speak with will never be able to contribute the maximum $2700 to any candidate. Super PACs do not have a place in American Politics.
- Renewable Energy: I will support tax incentives and public financing to bring solar back to Nevada and our country. It should be easier, not harder, to get affordable renewal energy for your home. I’ll call for an investigation into the Nevada Public Utility Commission (PUC) to understand why they continue to fight solar expansion in Nevada. I support allowing consumers to rely on solar and battery technologies to be as “off the grid” as they want to be. You should be rewarded for being environmentally responsible, not punished.
