NV-HD02: Assemblywoman hopes to keep seat in Republican hands, for Lombardo
Republican Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama, a two-term incumbent, holds a sizable fundraising lead against her Democratic opponent Ron Nelsen in the race for red-leaning Assembly District 2 in Clark County.
Kasama, a real estate agent who was first elected to AD 2 in 2020, originally announced a bid for Congressional District 3 before dropping out this year to seek re-election for her current seat.
When she announced a challenge to Democratic U.S. Rep. Susie Lee, she received support from then-House Republican Majority Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California.
After he was ousted from the position by his own party last October, Kasama started having concerns she wouldn’t have enough backing, including financial support, to challenge an incumbent in a competitive district.
