NV-SOS: The 2026 race for lieutenant governor is all about 2028 (if it's about anything at all)
The two people with the most on the line in the 2026 race for Nevada lieutenant governor aren’t running for lieutenant governor.
One of those people is Democratic U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto.
Which means the other person with the most at stake in the lieutenant governor’s race is Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo.
If Lombardo wins reelection this year, he immediately becomes the top Republican recruit to run against Cortez Masto when she’s up for reelection in 2028.
As long as the lieutenant governor in 2028 is a Republican.
