Pro abortion groups have sought similar ballot initiatives across the country to juice Democratic turnout and give voters a say on abortion access in red states where lawmakers have largely restricted the practice since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year.

Nevada lawmakers expressed everything from elation to skepticism after Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak unveiled his policy priorities Wednesday in the State of the State address, highlighting key issues — including state worker collective bargaining and minimum wage increases — that are likely to spur the most tension during the legislative session.
