Democratic U.S. Reps. Dina Titus, Susie Lee and Steven Horsford won reelection early this morning, holding all three Southern Nevada House seats on a night when Democrats retook control of the chamber.
In the 1st Congressional District, Titus, the dean of Nevada’s congressional delegation, defeated Republican state Sen. Carrie Buck 59% to 38%. The Associated Press called the race for Titus at 1:01 a.m.
In the 3rd Congressional District, long viewed as Republicans’ best chance to pick up a seat in Nevada, Lee ousted Republican Marty O’Donnell, a Trump-endorsed video game soundtrack composer, 59% to 39%. The AP called the race for Lee at 1:04 a.m.
In the 4th Congressional District, which stretches from northern Clark County into rural central Nevada, Horsford defeated Republican Cody Whipple, a rancher and small-business owner, 61% to 38%. The AP called declared Horsford the winner at 12:53 a.m.
“Tonight the people who make Nevada work spoke up, and because of that we’re going to win tonight,” Horsford said. “There’s a lot to celebrate tonight.”
Democrats are poised to hold their largest House majority in two decades. The party also won control of the U.S. Senate, flipping Republican-held seats in Michigan, Maine, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.
“With this evening’s results, Southern Nevadans have made their voices heard and their demands clear: When I return to Washington, my No. 1 focus will be driving down costs and standing up to President Trump’s cruel corruption that has made southern Nevadans’ lives harder and more expensive,” Lee said in a statement. “With our new majority in Congress, we know the work we have to do. It’s simple: make life less expensive and make our country more safe.”
Titus will begin her ninth term in January, Horsford his sixth and Lee her fifth.
“Can you hear it? Can you hear it? It’s coming, it’s building, it’s coming to Nevada it’s that damn blue wave that’s sweeping the country,” Titus told supporters.
In Northern Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District, which has been held by a Republican since it was created after the 1980 census, Democrat Teresa Benitez-Thompson continued to lead Republican David Flippo, 51% to 44%, but as of 6 a.m., with an estimated 14 percent of the vote not yet counted, no winner had been declared.
The two are vying to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Nev.
