  • Political History of Nevada
    Political History of Nevada Chapter 9 Election Results 449 CHAPTER 9: ELECTION RESULTS State Elections Election Results Over the course of Nevada’s history, the State has remained fairly balanced in its political leanings. In 39 presidential campaigns, the Republican candidate won the State 21 times, the Democrat nominee 17 times, and the Populist Party contender once. In 31 of those presidential races, Nevada backed the eventual winner. Of 25 U.S. Senators to serve Nevada in Washington, D.C., 12 have been Democrats and 13 Republicans, with 2 of those Republican Senators also being elected as a member of the Silver Party as well. Nevada has been represented by 38 Congressmen or Congresswomen, 20 Republicans, 18 Democrats, 3 of which may have run as a member of the Silver-Democrat Party. Th irty men have held the position of Governor in Nevada: 14 Republicans, 11 Democrats, and 2 each from the Silver and Silver-Democrat parties (NOTE: James W. Nye served as acting Governor of Nevada without party affi liation before the State’s fi rst election in 1864). Primary Elections in Nevada Th e ‘‘direct primary system,’’ as adopted by the Legislature of 1909 (Chapter 294, Nevada Revised Statutes), is a method of selecting party candidates by direct action of the voters. Th e system does not aff ect independent candidates who, as always, may enter the elections by petition. Primary elections are held on the fi rst Tuesday in September prior to the general elections. Th e returns on all State primaries to date are listed before the results of general elections.

  • Brian Edward Sandoval – Republican (Elected)
    Brian Edward Sandoval – Republican (Elected) 30th Nevada Attorney General Term: January 6, 2003–November 2, 2005 Biography Brian Sandoval, the son of Ron Sandoval (an FAA maintenance supervisor) and Gloria Gallegos (a legal secretary), was born in Redding, California, on August 5, 1963. A long- time resident of Reno, Sandoval graduated from Bishop Manogue High School in 1981 and from the University of Nevada at Reno in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Economics. In 1984, Sandoval served on the Congressional staff of Senator Paul Laxalt and served as an extern to the Ohio Supreme Court in 1989. In 1989, Sandoval earned his Juris Doctorate from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and passed the bar exam in Nevada, California and the District of Columbia. Sandoval’s exposure to the legal world came from his mother . There were no lawyers in our family. When I was young, my mom was a legal secretary and worked for U.S. Attorney Larry Semenza and a magistrate judge. That was my first exposure to the law," he says. "I would sit at the courthouse and wait for her to get off work. At 13, I worked at the cafeteria at the old federal courthouse in Reno. As I grew older, I became very interested in government and law. It was something I grew to be very passionate about. I had a dream that I never gave up on. I hope other Hispanics and young people will see if they work hard and stay in school they can achieve it as well."1 In 1989, Sandoval worked at the law firm of McDonald, Carson, Wilson, and from 1991- 1993, at Robison, Belaustegui, Robb and Sharp.

  • Political History of Nevada: Chapter 4
    Political History of Nevada Chapter 4 Campaigning, Voter Registration, and Casting Ballots in Nevada 163 CHAPTER 4: CAMPAIGNING, VOTER REGISTRATION, AND CASTING BALLOTS IN NEVADA Political Parties and Voter Registration By STEVE GEORGE Former Public Information Offi cer, Secretary of State’s Offi ce Updated by WAYNE THORLEY Deputy Secretary of State for Elections, Secretary of State’s Offi ce Nevada has seen many political parties come and go over its 152-year history and was one of the primary forces behind the creation of one national political party. In total, 22 political parties have placed candidates on the ballot in Nevada, with only 4—Democratic, Independent American, Libertarian, and Republican—still having ballot access during the 2016 General Election (NOTE: voters still have the option of registering as nonpartisan). Th e procedure for qualifying as a major political party in Nevada is found in Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 293.128, while NRS 293.171 and 293.1715 describe how a minor political party can be organized and gain ballot access. During the early years of statehood, Nevada political offi ces were dominated by Campaigns/Voters Republicans, perhaps as a thank you to the eff orts of the nation’s fi rst Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, who used his considerable infl uence to help secure statehood for Nevada in 1864. Th e State’s fi rst two general elections in 1864 and 1866 saw the “Grand Old Party” capture all federal, State, and judicial offi ces. Th e Union Party dominated the fi rst four sessions of the Legislature. Th e Union Party was actually the Republican Party, which at its national convention in 1864, changed its name to the National Union Party in an attempt to lure War Democrats.
