Incumbent Dina Titus (D) defeated Mark Robertson (R) and Ken Cavanaugh (L) in the general election for Nevada's 1st Congressional District on November 8, 2022.

The partisan makeup of Nevada's 1st Congressional District changed as a result of redistricting following the 2020 census. According to data from Daily Kos, Joe Biden (D) would have won the new district in the 2020 presidential election with 53% of the vote. Under the old district lines, Biden won the district with 62% of the vote. The district's Partisan Voter Index, a measurement tool from The Cook Political Report that scores each congressional district based on how strongly it leans toward one political party, changed from D+15 in 2018 to D+3 in 2022.

Titus was elected to the U.S. House in 2013 and also served a term from 2009 to 2011. Titus served in the Nevada State Senate from 1998 to 2008 and was a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.^[1] Titus told Nevada Newsmakers she was "a progressive, but I don't believe in defunding the police. I'm for Medicare for all, but you've got to do it in a step-by-step process. I am for every environmental issue out there … But I can't just say overall the ‘Green New Deal’ because that is a push toward nuclear power."^[2]

Robertson served in the U.S. Army and retired as a colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. He was an assistant professor and adjunct faculty at UNLV, the National Defense University, and the American College.^[3] In his response to Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey, Robertson said he would "use his national and international experience to develop solutions to the complex problems we face as a Nation." He highlighted school choice, 1st Amendment issues, border control, police funding, and balancing the federal budget as top issues. To read his full responses, click here.

The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 118th Congress. All 435 House districts were up for election.

Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.

Titus said she advocated for improving laws concerning immigration, saying at a campaign event, "We make immigration a priority because we have the most ethnically diverse district in the state and one of the most in the country. And we have many mixed-status families in this district … We have introduced and passed a number of bills out of the House that deal with immigration and a pathway to citizenship.”

Titus said she supported legal access to abortion, telling the Nevada Independent, "I will continue to fight at the federal level to ensure that every woman has the right to body autonomy and choice over our own health care decisions. We need to protect every American woman’s right to choose and give them access to abortion regardless of where they live."

Titus highlighted legislation passed during the 117th Congress. She told The New York Times, "[The legislation is] very significant because it shows that the Democrats care about solving problems, it shows that we can get things done and I think it starts to turn around some of the talk about Biden."

Mark Robertson (R)

Mark is the EDUCATION candidate. He believes that parents should have the power to decide what education options are best for their children.

Mark defends the US CONSTITUTION. He believes we should return to limit government and individual freedoms of speech, religion and press.

Mark is a fiscal and social CONSERVATIVE. He believes we should balance the budget, control our borders and support local police officers.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Mark Robertson (R)

Education. Parents should have the choice of how to educate their children. Education funding should follow the child. Public, private and co-op schools should answer to parents and compete for the privilege of educating our youth. We need to return to the basics of math, science, reading and writing. Critical race theory and social engineering should have no place in our schools.

Immigration. Before talking about comprehensive immigration reform, we need to secure our borders and stop the illegal flow of people coming into our country. It is a matter of national security. I support legal immigration. We should allow people to enter our country legally if they can contribute to the prosperity of our nation. Once our borders are secure, we can then discuss reforms such as immediately ending chain migration, visa lotteries and vacation-birth citizenship. We also need to modernize and update our current system. Too often, deserving people must wait years for approval. This delay is one of the reasons so many people attempt to enter illegally.

Strong and Modern Military. We need to keep the United States military the strongest, most effective fighting force on the planet. A strong military deters aggression and helps to secure peace for our country and our allies. We should insist that our NATO members contribute their fair-share to their own defense. We should invest in technologies that keep us ahead of our enemies.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Mark Robertson (R)

Russell M. Nelson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He is an amazing example of service to others: First as a doctor in the Army, then as a heart surgeon and finally as a leader in his Church. He exemplifies what a Christ-center life can be.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Mark Robertson (R)

Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Mark Robertson (R)

The core responsibility of each member of the US House of Representatives is to "represent" the people of the district who elected them.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Mark Robertson (R)

The Vietnam War. I was 10-12 years old. The nightly news carried stories and video of the fighting. It was terrifying for a young child.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Mark Robertson (R)

My very first job was doing chores at home. My parents taught me and my siblings the importance of work and family.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Mark Robertson (R)

Thor

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Mark Robertson (R)

Members of the House are closest to "the People". They are elected every two years. They determine where the US Government should spend the sacred funds that American citizens send to Washington in the form of taxes.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Mark Robertson (R)

Not necessarily. I do not believe our Nation's founders envisioned a permanent political class that we now have. I believe in "citizen-legislators" who serve for a period of time and then return to their communities to live under the laws they passed. I support term-limits.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Mark Robertson (R)

I believe the greatest challenge we face is the internal struggle for what America stands for. I will fight for a Nation that protects individual freedoms, limits government interference in our lives and encourages people to take personal responsibility for their own lives. I believe that families are the most important unit in society. Strong families mean strong communities which lead to a strong nation.

The other side of this struggle for America believes that a large central government which limits freedoms, but provides for everything from cradle to grave is the right direction for our country. This Socialist view of the role of government is soul-crushing and destroys nations. History is litter with failed countries who embraced the Socialist fantasy.

We need a country that fosters and rewards hard-work, personal responsibility, strong families and communities who care for each other. History shows us that capitalism and freedom offers the best path to strength, liberty, prosperity and the pursuit of happiness.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Mark Robertson (R)

Education and Labor. Armed Services. Appropriations. Financial Services

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Mark Robertson (R)

Yes.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Mark Robertson (R)

This is very important. The house originates the discussion on tax and spend policies. We need to balance our budget and live within our mean.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.^[4] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."^[5] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.^[6]
Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.^[7]^[8]^[9]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Nevada in 2022. Information below was calculated on April 6, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

In 2022, 38 candidates filed to run in Nevada’s four U.S. House districts, including 21 Republicans, 12 Democrats, and five independent or third party candidates. That’s 9.5 candidates per district, less than the 10.0 candidates per district in 2020 and 10.5 candidates per district in 2018.

This was the first candidate filing deadline under new district lines following Nevada's decennial redistricting process. Nevada was apportioned four congressional districts, the same number it had after the 2010 census. Since Democrats and Republicans filed to run in every district, none were guaranteed to one party or the other at the time of the filing deadline.

All four incumbents filed for re-election and, of that total, three drew primary challengers leaving Rep. Steven Horsford (D) as the only incumbent uncontested in a primary. In Nevada, uncontested primaries are canceled, meaning Horsford was guaranteed to advance to the general election.

With all four incumbents seeking re-election, this left no open districts. The last time Nevada had an open U.S. House district was in 2018 with two.

The 2nd district drew the most candidate filings with 14 candidates running. This included five Republicans, including incumbent Rep. Mark Amodei, seven Democrats, and two third party candidates.

Presidential elections

Partisan Voter Index

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index

Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+3. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 3 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made Nevada's 1st the 190th most Democratic district nationally.^[17]
