Incumbent Sen. Jacky Rosen (D) defeated Sam Brown (R) and two others in the general election for Nevada's U.S. Senate seat.[1]

Las Vegas Review-Journal's Jessica Hill said of Nevada's races: "Its congressional races could play a major role in determining the balance of power in the U.S. Congress — particularly in what is expected to be a competitive Senate race."[2]

Before the election, four major election forecasters rated the general election Lean Democratic.

Before her election to the Senate, Rosen represented Nevada's 3rd Congressional District from 2017 to 2019. She earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota in 1979 and an associate degree in computing and information technology from Clark County Community College in 1985.[3][4] She worked as a computer programmer and was also president of her synagogue.[4]

Brown previously ran for Senate in 2022. Adam Laxalt (R) defeated him in the primary 55.9% to 34.2%. He graduated from the United States Military Academy and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2008. While deployed, Brown was severely wounded in an explosion. After his military career, he earned a master's in business administration from Southern Methodist University. Brown owned a business that provided pharmaceutical support to veterans.[5]

Rosen focused her campaign on what she said were her bipartisan accomplishments. Rosen said, “Nevadans know my record of working across party lines to get results and taking on special interests to lower costs – it’s why I’m ranked one of the most bipartisan, independent, and effective members of the Senate.”[6] CNN's Eric Bradner and David Wright said, "Rosen’s ads have sought to portray the senator as a moderate, invoking her support for measures that would lower prescription drug prices and give health care benefits to veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. They also cast Rosen as breaking with Democratic leadership on border security."[7]

Brown won the Republican nomination on June 11 with the backing of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and endorsements from Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) and former President Donald Trump (R).[8] In an advertisement, Brown said, “As a veteran, I’ll never compromise America’s security. I’ll finish Trump’s wall and stop the invasion of the border. As a small-business owner, I’ll lower prices and make Trump’s tax cuts permanent.”[7] Brown criticized Rosen's record, saying, “She is a foot soldier for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Chuck Schumer ... They’re all about those D.C. priorities. And she is carrying out their mission instead of ours.”[9]

Question 6, which would have established a right to abortion into the state constitution if passed, was on the ballot concurrent to this election. Rosen supported Question 6.[10] Brown said he supported letting Nevada voters decide the issue but did not publicly share his stance on the amendment.[11] Rosen criticized Brown's previous statements in favor of Texas' 2013 abortion ban, while Brown criticized Rosen for supporting federal abortion laws that he said would potentially go farther than what Nevadans would want.[12][13] To read more about abortion measures that were on the ballot in 2024, click here.

Before the election, Rosen raised $46.5 million and spent 44.2 million, and Brown raised $20 million and spent $17.7 million. In the second quarter of fundraising ending June 30, Rosen had raised $7.6 million, and Brown raised $4 million.[14][15] To see more campaign finance data, click here.

Chris Cunningham (L) and Janine Hansen (Independent American Party) also ran in the election.

Chris Cunningham (L) completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. To read those survey responses, click here.

The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. Senate in the 119th Congress. Thirty-four of 100 seats were up for election, including one special election. Of the seats up for election in 2024, Democrats held 19, Republicans held 11, and independents held four.

At the time of the election, Democrats had a 50-49 majority.[16] As a result of the election, Republicans gained a 53-47 majority in the U.S. Senate.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag To read more about the 2024 U.S. Senate elections, click here.

Recount laws in Nevada

Automatic recount procedures

Nevada does not require automatic recounts.

Requested recount procedures

Nevada allows any candidate defeated at any election to request a recount. Any voter may request a recount of the vote for a ballot measure. The deadline to request a recount is no later than three business days after the canvass of the vote. Each recount must begin within five days after the request and must be completed no later than five days after its start.[23][24]

The requester is responsible for costs associated with the recount unless the recount changes the election outcome in his or her favor, in which case the requester is refunded any costs paid. If the recount does not change the election outcome, the requester may receive a refund if the costs paid were greater than the cost of the recount.[24]

Key Messages

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


Rosen focused on her record, which she said was one of the Senate's most bipartisan: “Six years ago, I promised to do what’s right for Nevada, not my party leaders. I won’t walk the party line and I never have. I’m proud to be named one of the most bipartisan senators.”


Rosen supported lowering prescription drug prices and said she had helped reduce prices: “Too many Nevadans — particularly seniors on fixed incomes — are struggling to afford life-saving prescription drugs. That’s why I took on big drug companies to successfully cap the cost of insulin at $35 per month for seniors and give Medicare the power to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices.”


Rosen criticized her opponent Sam Brown as not being honest about his abortion stance: "MAGA extremists are covering up their anti-abortion stances to try and change their story. Sam Brown is no different – he will say anything to get elected. Nevadans support reproductive freedom. Sam Brown does not, and his record proves he will take away abortion rights."

Biography:  Brown received a bachelor's degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point and a master's degree from Southern Methodist University.

Key Messages

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


Brown said he would focus on issues that affected veterans. On his campaign website, he said, "I am wholly committed to expanding on the improvements made by the Trump administration to the Department of Veteran Affairs, and I'll work to build even more effective networks of support in the areas of healthcare, education, and occupational readiness."


Brown said he would prioritize limiting illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border. He said, "As a Senator, I will immediately prioritize securing our borders and fighting back against the drug cartels. They will be stopped and brought to justice for their heinous actions...It's time the U.S. Senate finally takes action to stop the waves of illegal immigration and hold Biden accountable for his failure to secure our borders. I'll demand more funding for border security and patrol technologies, finish the border wall, stand with law enforcement, and fix our broken immigration system to encourage legal immigration only."


Brown said he believed that incumbent Sen. Jacky Rosen's (D) platform was not in line with voters. He said, "There are far too many people who are afraid of the American dream, and the path to it could be lost be cause of people like Jacky Rosen, and we've got to defeat them. That's why I'm running for the U.S. Senate."

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


The Economy A key issue in 2024 is going to be stabilizing the economy and holding politicians accountable in Washington for driving up TRILLIONS of dollars in debt. Emphasizing free market principles without government interference is paramount to the success of catalyzing economic growth. We need to support sound monetary polices backed by a tangible asset or a system where the value of money is determined by market forces rather than centralized control. If elected, I am to reduce government spending, eliminate unnecessary regulations, and foster competition in industries prone to inflation.


Immigration / Border Security The crisis at the border is more prevalent than ever, and I believe that we can secure our borders while streamlining the immigration process, which will facilitate legal entry and residency for those individuals from abroad who wish to contribute positively to the economy. Our southern border needs to be secured, and I also believe if we adopt a visa and sponsorship system, where citizens can apply and vouch for individuals looking to enter the country, it will drastically decrease illegal immigration and also provide accountability for immigrants once they are in the states, preventing potentially dangerous individuals from causing harm to law abiding Americans.


Foreign Conflicts With chaos erupting throughout Gaza and Ukraine, the United States should NOT be funding or supporting proxy wars and should avoid military intervention in foreign conflicts unless directly threatened or attacked, prioritizing diplomacy and peaceful resolution of disputes. I firmly support Defending the Guard, and keeping our National Guard troops at home. Maintaining a strong national defense will allow us to prioritize protecting ourselves, rather than engaging in playing kingmaker overseas and policing the world. We need to return war powers back to Congress and ensure that the power to declare war is in the Congress' hands, as mandated by the constitution.

Polls

See also: Ballotpedia's approach to covering polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[25] 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."[26] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

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.[29]
  • 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.[30][31][32]

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.”[33]
  • 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.”[34]
  • 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."[35]
  • 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.”[36]
  • 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.”[36]
  • 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.[36]

Question 6

See also: Nevada Question 6, Right to Abortion Initiative (2024)

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.

To read more about supporters and opponents of the initiative, along with their arguments, click on the box below.

Question 3

See also: Nevada Question 3, Top-Five Ranked-Choice Voting Initiative (2024)

2016

See also: United States Senate election in Nevada, 2016

The race for Nevada's open U.S. Senate seat was one of Ballotpedia's nine competitive battleground races in 2016. Former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto (D) defeated U.S. Rep. Joe Heck (R), a doctor and brigadier general in the Army Reserve who served in Iraq, and four third-party candidates in the general election to win retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s (D) seat. Her victory on November 8, 2016, made her the first-ever Latina elected to the United States Senate.[43][44][45]

Reid’s seat was the Republican Party’s only chance to pick up a Senate seat this cycle. Cortez Masto’s biggest ally was Reid, who used his get out the vote resources to make sure his seat stayed under Democratic control. Reid and outside groups heavily influenced the race and were partially responsible for the negative tone and numerous attack ads. According to USA Today, “The race was anything but cordial. Outside money flooded the state bringing the total spending to nearly $100 million. All that cash washed away nearly any real policy discussion, as attacks flew claiming Cortez Masto was incompetent and corrupt while Heck was a stooge for the billionaire Koch Brothers.”[46]

In her victory speech, Cortez Masto commented on her status as the first Latina elected to the Senate, saying, "It's not just about making history. Don't you think it is about time that we had diversity in the U.S. Senate? Don't you think it's about time that our government mirrors the people we serve every day?"[47]
