REVIEW-JOURNAL ENDORSEMENT: Nevada’s 1st Congressional District

Updated October 1, 2020 - 11:51 pm

In the 1st Congressional District, which comprises the central Las Vegas Valley, Rep. Dina Titus, a Democrat, faces a challenge from Republican Joyce Bentley and two minor party candidates. Voter registration figures in this district lean heavily Democratic, so Republicans tend to ignore CD1 races when it comes to money and other resources.

Though we disagree with Rep. Titus on a number of issues, she is a straight-shooting workhorse whose integrity is unquestioned. A former state lawmaker and university professor, she has devoted decades to serving Nevada and is a staunch advocate for open government and accountability. We urge a vote for Dina Titus.

THE LATEST
Review-Journal endorsements: Senate, US House

Control of both the Senate and House is at stake in this election, and the results of Nevada’s federal races could be the decisive factor one way or the other.

Review-Journal endorsement: Governor of Nevada

Gov. Steve Sisolak, a Democrat, is facing perhaps the most tightly contested election of his career. Polls show him virtually tied in his re-election bid against Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, a Republican.

Review-Journal endorsements: Nevada legislative races

Many legislative districts are not politically competitive. But a handful of races could go either way and determine if Democrats snare a supermajority or the GOP becomes relevant in the 2023 session.

Review-Journal endorsements: Judicial races

These contests present challenges for many voters, as the campaigns are often low-profile, cordial affairs absent debates, while the candidates are all typically professional and well-educated.
