Donors to Nevada lawmakers crushed the state’s single-cycle fundraising record in 2024, with the gaming industry giving the most money to legislators.
During the two years that made up the election cycle, legislators brought in more than $17.3 million from high-dollar donors (individuals or groups that gave lawmakers more than $200), with Democrats — who control 27 seats in the 42-member Assembly and 13 seats in the 21-member Senate — accounting for more than two-thirds of the total fundraising haul.
Although Democrats made up the large majority of contributions, the median Democratic fundraising haul ($195,000) was smaller than the median Republican legislator haul ($179,000).
It marked a significant increase from the $13.1 million cumulatively raised in the 2022 midterm election cycle, a typically less-expensive period than presidential election years.
