Nevada Democrats Secure Governorship and Statewide Control in Historic 2026 Midterms

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford defeated incumbent Governor Joe Lombardo in a closely watched race, becoming the state's first Black governor and the first Black governor west of the Mississippi. Ford won with 51.7% of the vote against Lombardo’s 44.2%. Democrats also captured the state legislature, lieutenant governor, and attorney general races, creating a full Democratic trifecta. The victory marks a significant shift in Nevada politics, driven by voter dissatisfaction with federal economic policies and high cost-of-living concerns.

Nevada AG Aaron Ford Leans on Labor Solidarity in Final Push Against Gov. Lombardo

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford is centering his gubernatorial campaign on labor support and his personal background as he faces incumbent Republican Joe Lombardo in the final month of the 2026 election. Ford recently joined a 266-day strike by Teamsters Local 631 in Henderson, using the event to highlight his connection to workers and contrast his stance with Lombardo’s. His strategy relies on mobilizing rank-and-file voters and leveraging his labor record to secure the governorship, a key target for Democrats looking to build momentum for 2028.
