Presidential Election – Nov 5th, 2024
This means, because of the electoral system that we have, that your vote, if you live in Nevada, is as crucial to the final outcome as it would be if you lived in a “battleground” state like Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin.
If you live in Nevada, your vote is critical to our survival. If you vote for a third party or don’t vote at all, you might as well be giving your vote to Trump in this state. It’s that close. Please vote! And please vote for Harris in this state, even though he is not the candidate we need for our survival. If you cannot bear the thought of voting for Harris, please consider vote swapping!
Vote Swapping
Are you willing help ensure that Trump does not get back into the White House by voting for Harris in exchange for someone in a solid red or blue state voting for your preferred third-party candidate? If you’d like to know more, click here.

AND, your most powerful contribution to this election may not be your own vote, but the vote of a friend, relative, colleague, former neighbor, or somebody else you know who does live in a “battleground” state. You may be the one person who can convince that person to vote, and to vote for our survival, at this election.

Senate Race
Incumbent Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen is up for re-election and is being challenged by Republican Sam Brown. The polls show a very close race, and this is a must win seat for Democrats if they are to retain control of the Senate. Republican control of the Senate would make passing Harris legislation nearly impossible. Therefore, a vote for Jacky Rosen is a vote to survive!
House Races
The best we can hope for in 2024 at the Presidential and Senate levels is to prevent Donald Trump and the Republicans from re-taking control so that we will at least survive the next four years. But in the medium term, we need to elect politicians who support the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, the Nuclear Ban Treaty and other real, sustainable solutions to the global threats facing us all.
Luckily, we already have over 100 such politicians in the House of Representatives. We need to make sure they get re-elected, and we need to elect more of them!
There are no members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus from Nevada.
