Tarkanian, the son of late UNLV basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian, ran for the job six times while still living in the Las Vegas area (excluding unsuccessful candidacies in the Senate and the State Regents’ Board), but he finally broke his legend. a series of losses in 2020, gaining the position of County Commissioner in his new country house in Douglas County.
The Tarkanians hope to avenge their many defeats by running to the right of Amode in Area 2, but the congressman takes every opportunity to portray his opponent as an intervention. In one ad, Amode weaved seamlessly into the Reno shirt of his local alma mater and UNLV competitor at the University of Nevada to convince primary voters to “stick to the home team.” Returning to Vegas, Democrat Dina Titus faces a major challenge to the left of activist Eimia Willell in District 1, where the Legislature Democrats have become significantly more competitive to support incumbents elsewhere, while the GOP is crowded to compete.
