In 2024, Nevada saw some remarkable developments in politics, including Donald Trump winning the presidency for the second time in a historic non-consecutive term. Trump’s victory in Nevada, along with other swing states, marked a significant shift in voting patterns, with Republicans embracing early and mail voting. However, Trump’s success did not necessarily translate to other Republican candidates on the ticket, as evident by the losses in various congressional districts.
The year also saw controversial figures like former Councilwoman Michele Fiore facing wire fraud charges and former congressional candidate Dan “Big Dan” Rodimer charged with murder. The Board of Regents faced scrutiny for controversial comments made by members, but voters rejected an amendment to remove them from the state constitution. Instead, voters approved amendments to require voter IDs and protect abortion rights in the state constitution.
Furthermore, the Clark County School District faced budget deficits despite additional funding, leading to the firing of the chief financial officer. Lastly, the Culinary Union celebrated the end of its longest campaign with the signing of a contract with a major hotel-casino, demonstrating the union’s commitment to workers’ rights.
Overall, 2024 was a year of political milestones and controversies in Nevada, shaping the future trajectory of the state’s political landscape.
