My family instilled a respect for the inherent dignity of every person, but it is hard for many to carry themselves with dignity when they are unable to care for their families despite working hard. 1 in 7 Nevadans live in poverty. We need to support living wages, wages that afford a safe home, healthful food, healthcare, and the ability for Nevada families to care for their children.

Enough is enough. We must demand that Nevada rise from its position of 48th in the nation in our education ranking. It is time to stop talking and fund our education system so that students can learn safely, and so that EVERY STUDENT IN NEVADA has the same opportunities. We are better than this.

Nevadans should be able to afford safe housing and have a path to homeownership. The cost of living is above what our current salary base is, a balance must be created.
I am passionate about creating a safe, healthy, dignified life for ALL Nevadans. We must protect our rights while balancing caring for our neighbors' rights. We need to create a strong educational foundation for our youth and afford everyone the opportunities a strong, thoughtful community creates by working together. Public policy issues that touch on this relate to the protection of our water supply, closing the opportunity gap for students, access to health care services, and supporting Nevadans striving for a dignified life by pushing for a livable wage and working to control rising costs.
My first real job was my job as a teacher. I still have that job. This year is my 20th anniversary with my profession and my union.
The Alchemist by Paolo Cuelo because it is a reminder to continue to refine ourselves so that we can serve our highest purpose and meet our highest goals.

General election 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.[3]
  • 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.[4][5][6]

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.
