Republicans are in the minority for both houses, but Democrats do not have the super majority of 28 seats in the Assembly that they held in 2023.
Expect an offensive Democrat party as well as a defensive Republican party. Remember, Governor Lombardo vetoed 75 bills in 2023. He will have a tough balancing act, since he is up for re-election in 2026. As Victor Joecks has mentioned in his Las Vegas Review-Journal column: The Governor will need our support for his agenda! That means we need to get involved sending emails, voting for or against certain bill proposals on the NV Legislative Information System (NELIS), and testifying in person or on the phone on key issues.
For your review, here is a good summary on how to testify on a bill.
Also, the Nevada Policy Institute has a bill tracker. Explore and bookmark it for later reference.
