Nevada House Representatives Lead All in Re-Election Bids | Nevada | News

Nevada's incumbent congressmen were all ahead of their opponents in early election results on Tuesday.

Titus received 51.5 percent of the vote compared to Mark Robertson's 46.0 percent in Nevada's 1st Congressional District, marking the second time the Republican failed in his challenge to the longtime representative. Titus and Robertson faced each other in 2022, when Titus won by about 5.6 percentage points.

Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford led former North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee 53.5 percent to 44.5 percent in Nevada's 4th Congressional District.

The race between Democratic Rep. Susie Lee and Republican challenger Drew Johnson was closer, with Lee receiving 50.7 percent of the vote and Johnson 49.3 percent.

Incumbent Republican Mark Amodei defeated Greg Kidd and three other candidates in the 2nd Congressional District, according to the Associated Press.

Titus and Horsford's lead came as expected, with the nonpartisan Cook Political Report only calling Lee's race in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District slightly competitive.

Lee and Johnson have actively interacted with voters this election cycle, campaigned with surrogates and held numerous campaign events in the district, which includes parts of Summerlin, Red Rock and Spring Valley.

Lee has served in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District since 2019. Originally from Canton, Ohio, Lee moved to Las Vegas in 1993 where she worked in the nonprofit education sector. She ranked 12th among the 20 Democratic representatives who broke with their party most often, and she serves as vice chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus.

Johnson, born in Tennessee, has lived in southern Nevada for about a decade. He founded the Beacon Center, a public policy think tank, and worked at various organizations working on government transparency, tax, budget, transportation, energy and international policy issues. Johnson previously ran for Clark County Commission in 2022 but lost by fewer than 400 votes.
