Incumbent Rep. Dina Titus (D) defeated Mark Robertson (R) and four other candidates in the general election for Nevada's 1st Congressional District on Nov. 5, 2024. Click here for detailed results.
The race was a rematch between Titus and Robertson, who ran against each other in the 2022 general election. According to The Nevada Independent's Jannelle Calderon, the "redistricting process altered [Titus'] district boundaries, adding in more Republican-heavy suburban areas and suddenly making her re-election bid less of a sure thing."[1] Titus defeated Robertson 51.6% to 46.0% in a field of three candidates.

According to The Nevada Independent’s Eric Neugeboren, in the 2022 race, Robertson “said on his campaign website that the 2020 election had ‘raised legitimate concerns’ about the nation’s electoral process. He called for a bipartisan congressional review into topics such as the ‘potential risks of extensive mail-in voting and extended voting periods.’”[2] In the 2024 race, Robertson said that, while he was still concerned about election integrity, he did not believe Republicans should use it as a focal point in campaign messaging: "It's not a change in position, rather an emphasis on the communications. I think it was a mistake two years ago for the Republicans to say the election was stolen…because what it did was it discouraged Republicans from voting."[2] In a statement following Robertson's primary win, Titus wrote that she was confident that she would win the 2024 race. She said, "I have beaten Mr. Robertson before and I look forward to beating him again this November."[3]
The race received attention from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). The DCCC named Titus one of its frontline candidates.[4] According to the DCCC's website, the Frontline program "provides Democratic Members of Congress from competitive seats the resources to execute effective reelection campaigns.” The NRCC included the district as a target district, a Democratically-held district the committee hoped to win in November.
Titus was first elected to represent the 1st Congressional District in 2012 by a margin of 32.1 percentage points. Titus previously represented the 3rd Congressional District from 2009 to 2011 until Joseph Heck (R) defeated her in 2010 by a margin of 0.6 percentage points. From 1989 to 2008, Titus represented District 7 in the Nevada Senate. Titus was a professor at the University of Nevada from 1977 to 2011.[5]
Titus said her priorities included abortion access, the cost of living, firearm safety, and democracy.[6] On her record in Congress, Titus wrote, "My constituents know I have their backs in Washington and I am grateful to have their support here in District One."[3]
Robertson served in the U.S. Army from 1976 to 2019, retiring as a colonel.[7] His professional experience included working as an assistant professor of military science at the University of Nevada, as a business owner, financial planner, and substitute teacher in the Clark County School District.[7]
Robertson said his priorities included border security, the budgeting process, and education.[7] Robertson said he would "represent the people of Nevada's 1st Congressional District—the 750,000 people in Nevada's 1st Congressional District—regardless of their party affiliation or no affiliation. I'll be the representative of all of them."[8]
Based on third-quarter reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Titus raised $2.3 million and spent $1.8 million, and Robertson raised $391,152 and spent $516,861. To review all the campaign finance figures in full detail, click here.
David Havlicek (L), Bill Hoge (Independent American Party), Ron Quince (No Political Party), and David Goossen (No Political Party) also ran in the general election.
Before the election, major election forecasters differed in their ratings for the general election, with one rating it Solid Democratic, one rating it Safe Democratic, and two rating it Likely Democratic.
The primary was June 11, 2024. The filing deadline was March 15, 2024.
The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 119th Congress. All 435 House districts were up for election.
At the time of the election, Republicans held a 220-212 majority with three vacancies.[9] As a result of the election, Republicans retained control of the U.S. House, winning 220 seats to Democrats' 215.[10] To read more about the 2024 U.S. House elections, click here.
In the 2022 election in this district, the Democratic candidate won 51.6%-46.0%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Joe Biden (D) would have defeated Donald Trump (R) 53.2%-44.7%.[11]
Nevada's 1st Congressional District was one of 37 congressional districts with a Democratic incumbent or an open seat that the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) targeted in 2024.

Taxation is Theft.

Mark Robertson (R)
I will fight to return regular order to our budgeting process, thus controlling spending on our way to a balanced budget. We must stop printing, borrowing, and spending money we do not have. Overspending by the Federal government has created the inflation that is hurting Nevada families.
I will introduce legislation to protect parents’ right to choose which school is best for their child while reducing or eliminating the federal government’s role in education. Education funds should follow the child. Nevada schools rank near the bottom in math, science, and reading. Our children should not be trapped in failing schools.

Race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
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.[12]
- 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.[13][14][15]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Nevada in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 13, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Twenty-two candidates ran for Nevada’s four U.S. House districts, including five Democrats and 17 Republicans. That’s 5.5 candidates per district, less than the 8.25 candidates per district in 2022, the 10.0 candidates per district in 2020, and the 10.5 candidates in 2018.
The 22 candidates who ran in Nevada in 2024 was the fewest number of candidates since 2014, when 19 candidates ran.
No seats were open in 2024, meaning all incumbents ran for re-election. There were two House seats open in 2018 and one in 2016, the only two election cycles this decade in which House seats were open.
Nine candidates—two Democrats and seven Republicans—ran for the 3rd Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Nevada in 2024.
Six primaries—two Democratic and four Republican—were contested in 2024, tying with 2014 for the fewest this decade.
Three incumbents—two Democrats and one Republican—faced primary challengers in 2024. That’s the same number of incumbents who faced primary challengers in 2022, but less than the four incumbents who faced primary challengers in 2020.
The 2nd Congressional District was guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run. Republicans filed to run in every district, meaning none were guaranteed to Democrats.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 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 192nd most Democratic district nationally.[19]
2020 presidential election results

Noteworthy ballot measures
- See also: Nevada 2024 ballot measures
Nevada had seven ballot measures on the November 5, 2024, ballot in Nevada. Two notable ones included the Nevada Right to Abortion Initiative, which was designed to provide for a state constitutional right to an abortion, and Question 3, designed to change Nevada's primaries to use ranked-choice voting.
Observers and officials commented on whether the amendments would increase turnout statewide.
- David Byler of Noble Predictive Insights, a polling firm said: “Abortion is an issue that brings Democrats to the polls – and that high enthusiasm has allowed them to beat Republicans in low-turnout special elections... And that is an advantage for Democrats.”[21]
- David Damore, a political science professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas said: “When abortion rights are on the ballot, it mobilizes turnout among supporters that crosses party lines.”[22]
- 538's Nathaniel Rakich said: "But while interest in these measures will undoubtedly be high this November, there just isn't much evidence that they'll turn out many voters who weren't already going to vote anyway... in every state with an abortion-related ballot measure in 2022, more votes were cast for the office at the top of the ticket than for the ballot measure."[23]
- Former Clark County GOP Chair David Gibbs said of the abortion amendment: “I’m not hearing much about it... Is it going to drive people to the polls? It might, but there’s a good probability that those people were going to vote anyway.”[24]
- Sondra Cosgrove, director of Vote Nevada, said of Question 3: “The largest group of voters is already saying, ‘You know, I’m not really cool with either of the parties right now’ but then they feel like they’re being shut out at the same time... People can see that the system’s kind of gummed-up and doesn’t work very well, so they’re interested in reforms to our election processes.”[24]
- Gibbs disagreed with Cosgrove's assessment on voter interest in the specific amendment. The Epoch Times' John Haughey said: "Mr. Gibbs agreed, except he said the election reform Nevadans are interested in is not ranked choice voting. Unlike 2022 when it only passed by 53 percent, he said, Question 3 will face stiff opposition in 2024 with coalescing groups prepared to show “how much this is going to both complicate and muddy the waters in our elections,” predicting the “voters of Nevada will reject” ranked voting.[24]
Question 6
A "yes" vote supported providing for a state constitutional right to an abortion, providing for the state to regulate abortion after fetal viability, except where medically indicated to "protect the life or health of the pregnant patient." |
A "no" vote opposed providing for a state constitutional right to an abortion. |

Question 3
A "yes" vote supported establishing open top-five primaries and ranked-choice voting for general elections, which would apply to congressional, gubernatorial, state executive official, and state legislative elections. |
A "no" vote opposed establishing open top-five primaries and ranked-choice voting for general elections, which would apply to congressional, gubernatorial, state executive official, and state legislative elections. |
