Very excited to join @NVDems as Press Secretary to help NV Democrats win this November and hold Republicans accountable. NV reporters, shoot me a message and let's connect!
Former aide to Sen. Harry Reid Rebecca Lambe argues NV serves as testing ground for Democrats to recapture low-information and low-propensity voters. NV had the highest % of first-time voters in 2024.
"These are new swing voters, and they are up for grabs."
WATCH: Choosing Nevada to go first in the 2028 presidential nominating process is a strategic decision that sets Democrats up to take back the White House.
Nevada is set to hold its first competitive presidential primary in 2028, making it a critical early state for Democrats. We have new polling out today that reveals what NV Dem primary voters value, want, and are looking for in candidates.
Here are the initial takeaways:
1️⃣ 60% are women, 63% are over 55, and only 8% are under 30 years old
2️⃣ They want someone who can win and get things done over ideological purity
3️⃣ These voters want real results on the cost of living, immigration, public safety, and education

Chatted with ex-Obama campaign chief @Messina2012 at Dem confab in Vegas. He said NV should be chosen as first Dem primary state because we are only one that is swing state, have demographics reflective of country and Dems need to compete in the West. All true!

The national affordability crisis is playing out in #NVGov — where candidates must communicate effectively on the economy.
In 2028, this is where presidential candidates can pressure test their national economic message and it’s exactly why we should be first in the nation.
NEW: Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, in a sit-down interview, told me he's "concerned" if November looks like it does now.
His reelect is shaping up as an early test of whether the GOP can survive Trump's political fortunes — without losing his coalition. https://t.co/pGUaoj4s4D
Nevada’s FITN campaign sending DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee members gift bags ahead of their meeting in New Orleans today, including drink tickets for the hotel bar and shooters.
Exclusive: Nevada AG Aaron Ford trails Gov. Joe Lombardo by only 3 points in their race for governor, according to a new poll commissioned by The Majority Institute.
Last June, Lombardo was up 9 points.
And this poll was conducted in February -- before the Iran war started.
This feels particularly cruel during women’s history month.
Sue was an icon. She was one of the fiercest advocates for Nevada women and we are better because of her.
Very sad news in NV: Sue Wagner, the first woman elected lieutenant gov in Nevada, died today at age 86. If not for a plane crash while she was LG, she likely would have been the first female NV gov.
Superb public official, principled and dedicated.
RIP.

Come for the terrible House votes, stay for the time he snitched on a high schooler.
A release like this only made possible by the @nvdems comms and research staffers who came before me:

@NVDemsChair: “There’s a strong chance."
@RubenGallego: “It’s a great representation of the Democratic base and the country."

As the DNC RBC meets about the presidential calendar, Latino Victory urges the committee to make Nevada first.
Nevada meets all of the early state criteria & this move would send a clear message that @TheDemocrats are committed to prioritizing voters of color.

Somos Votantes, UNITE HERE, and AAPI Victory Fund have all endorsed Nevada’s bid to go first, according to material passed out to members of the DNC Rules and Bylaws committee today.
Nevada is a diverse, union-strong battleground that we must win if we want to regain control of the White House in 2028.
With the support of these influential orgs representing diverse voters across the country - we have the strongest case to be first in the nation.
Scoop: Influential Latino political groups are stepping in to support Nevada, as it bids to be the first state to vote in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary. W/ @HunterMw

Scoop: a major Latino political group is arguing that Nevada should be first to vote in the '28 Dem primary. Letter from Latino Victory says "prioritizing less diverse states like New Hampshire would be a disadvantage to our party's presidential nominee." https://t.co/xTolZGHuXq
