Carrie Buck, a state senator from Nevada, secured the Republican nomination for Nevada's 1st Congressional District on June 10, 2026, defeating several candidates, including businessman Michael Boris. Buck will challenge incumbent Democratic Representative Dina Titus in the upcoming general election. Her campaign received endorsements from former President Donald Trump and Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, along with support from national Republican organizations. Buck, who has a background in education and previously served as a school principal, emphasized her experience in state government as a key qualification for the race. The Republican primary included candidates such as Jim Blockey, Rick Saga, and Marie Encar Arnold. Despite the district's historical lean towards Democrats, recent redistricting has made it more competitive. The Cook Political Report currently rates the race as 'Likely Democrat,' indicating challenges for Buck as she faces Titus, who has held the seat since 2013 and is expected to have a fundraising advantage in the general election.
