A national Republican group focused on down-ballot races is making a last-minute push for candidates running for lieutenant governor, secretary of state and two Assembly seats. The Republican State Leadership Committee has in the past week launched ads or microsites supporting lieutenant governor candidate Michael Roberson, Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske and Assembly candidates Jill Dickman and Stephen Silberkraus, both of whom are trying to reclaim their seats in the Assembly after losing close races in 2016.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt argues that he has the tools to extract funding for the controversial Education Savings Accounts program from a Democratic-controlled Legislature because he was able to get bipartisan support for dealing with elder fraud and a backlog of untested rape kits.

A PAC headed by a former Republican state senator is up with a new campaign targeting lieutenant governor candidate and Republican state Senate Leader Michael Roberson. Nevada Values PAC, which is affiliated with the left-leaning 501(c)(4) nonprofit Battle Born Progress, is up with a new digital ad and website attacking Roberson as the “Walk Out King,” — a reference to a breakdown in budgetary negotiations near the tail-end of the 2017 Legislature.

The two candidates vying to be Nevada’s next lieutenant governor unveiled television ads Wednesday that tout their respective accomplishments but gloss over some of the details.

Former President Barack Obama has officially endorsed another 12 Nevada Democrats on the 2018 ballot as part of a second wave of more than 260 midterm endorsements nationwide. Obama previously endorsed a slew of Democratic candidates in the state, including gubernatorial candidate Steve Sisolak, U.S. Senate candidate Jacky Rosen and congressional candidates Susie Lee and Steven Horsford.

In a release sent Thursday, the union said it made decisions on who to endorse based on records and not party affiliation, and cited Senate Minority Leader Roberson’s work on “key” education bills including the $1.1 billion in new and extended taxes approved by 2015 Legislature and Roberson that primarily funded K-12 education programs. It also cited his support of “dedicated funding” for teacher salaries, the 2015 Clark County School District reorganization bill and support for the state’s “Commerce Tax” on business revenue exceeding $4 million.

It happens every election cycle. Accusations fly that a candidate took campaign contributions either from a nefarious source or did the bidding of a donor while in office. Separating fact from fiction during campaigns, especially when it comes to campaign finance, can be difficult to suss out — but we want to make it easier.

Gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt, lieutenant governor candidate Michael Roberson and attorney general candidate Wes Duncan all threw their support behind the ballot measure during a forum hosted by the Southern Hills Republican Women’s Club in Henderson on Tuesday.

Not only will the results of today’s election set in place the top contests on the November ballot, including one of the most closely watched U.S. Senate battles in the country and an open gubernatorial seat, but many important races will be effectively decided based on Tuesday’s results, including a seat on the powerful Clark County Commission and the county’s district attorney.

Candidates for statewide and legislative races are on the home stretch for the primaries, and financial disclosures they filed before a Friday deadline show it’s an expensive stretch for many. Democratic gubernatorial candidate and Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak burned through more than $1 million in the most recent three-week filing period.

Event host Breck Greninger told The Nevada Independent she’s confirmed that Sen. Dean Heller, governor candidate Adam Laxalt, lieutenant governor hopeful Michael Roberson and attorney general candidate Wes Duncan will all attend the potluck at her home in the Virginia City Highlands on Saturday. Greninger is active in Storey County Republican politics, served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 2016 and runs a kettle corn shop in Virginia City.

The National Rifle Association endorsed and gave top grades to a slew of Nevada Republicans, including gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt, ahead of the state’s primary election.

A Republican candidate for lieutenant governor included Scientology-themed videos and language in training material for employees of his Las Vegas bottled water company and forced a top executive to attend treatment centers sponsored by the controversial church that allegedly tried to “brainwash” him.
