Nevada Sen. Rochelle Nguyen (D-Las Vegas) is being targeted by the Culinary Workers Union Local 226, which announced Wednesday that she doesn’t deserve to hold the seat after she voted against the union’s interests during the 2023 legislative session.
Instead, union leaders said voters should support Geoconda Hughes, a cardiovascular thoracic nurse practitioner and the daughter of former Culinary Secretary-Treasurer Geoconda Arguello-Kline.
Hughes announced her candidacy Wednesday at the Clark County Government Center, where she formally filed her paperwork to run as a Democrat for the seat, and will face Nguyen in the June primary election.
