Campaign fundraising in the 2026 Senate battlegrounds has become overwhelmingly nationalized, leaving most high-stakes candidates far more reliant on out-of-state donors than the voters they hope to represent.

Fall is right around the corner and that means we are in the final stretch of campaigning ahead of the 2026 midterm election. Early voting in Nevada is less than 10 weeks away. That means candidates are pulling out all the stops to reach voters as they approach the end of the election cycle.

With fewer than 100 days until the November 3 general election, it’s time again to brace for a fresh wave of campaign signs, mailers and attack ads.

Gov. Joe Lombardo and Attorney General Aaron Ford remain neck-and-neck in polling data with just over three months remaining in Nevada’s gubernatorial campaign.

Lombardo and Republican-aligned groups have spent more than $13 million on ads since December 2025, while Democrats have spent only about $77,000.

Turnout in Nevada's primaries increased slightly this year compared with the 2024 election, as competitive races especially in Northern Nevada helped boost participation.

As the June 9 Nevada primaries approach, Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) has amassed a sizable financial advantage in his reelection bid.
