Primary choice

Senate candidate Patricia Spearman defeated fellow Democratic candidate John Lee in last week’s Democratic primary. Despite Sen. Harry Reid’s endorsement of Lee, Spearman has gathered support for her stances on environmental issues, including the endorsement of the Nevada Conservation League. Spearman is also backed by other interest groups for her advocacy of reproductive health and gay rights. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, she is expected to lead in Democratic-dominated districts.

All of the candidates endorsed by NCL defeated their opponents in the primary, including Peggy Pierce, assembly district 3; Heidi Swank, assembly district 15; Justin Jones, senate district 6; Elliot Anderson, assembly district 15; and several others. For a full list, visit www.nvgreenvote.org.
