Mark Amodei defeats Greg Kidd for the CD2 U.S. House seat in Nevada

This story has been revised based on updated election results.

Republican Mark Amodei was declared the winner by the Associated Press in his bid for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives against nonpartisan Greg Kidd in the race for Nevada's Congressional District 2, which covers the top half of the state.

The latest unofficial results from the Secretary of State's Office show Amodei with 57% of the vote, ahead of Kidd with 35%.

Independent American candidate Lynn Chapman and Libertarian candidate Javi Tachiquin received 4.6% and 3.7%, respectively.

Kidd had hoped to do better than his Democratic opponents in recent years by convincing Democrats, bipartisans and moderate Republicans to vote for him. Kidd has indicated he could run again in 2026.

Kidd was among Amodei's most recent Democratic opponents. In 2022, Amodei won with 22 points and in 2020 with 16 points.

Kidd, a wealthy technology investor from Lake Tahoe, self-funded his campaign.

Amodei has held the seat since 2011.
