What Went Down During The June 14 Primary Elections
You may not have been watching the Nevada treasurer’s race very closely, but the current leader of the Republican primary there is a notable name: Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore. Fiore is a huge gun-rights supporter who once posed for a pin-up calendar with herself holding several guns, including assault rifles, and she has also expressed sympathy for anti-government militias.
Amodei continues to lead in Nevada’s 2nd District GOP primary, although we still only have 9 percent of the expected vote in. He holds about a 25-point lead over Tarkanian.

In Nevada’s GOP primary for governor, Lombardo continues to lead handily. But looking at the county-level results, the hardcore Trumpist Gilbert has the edge in the peripheral rural counties, which is interesting. Nevertheless, he can’t match Lombardo’s showing in Clark County, which is understandable — Lombardo is the county sheriff there — and given that Clark makes up a slightly majority of the vote in most GOP statewide primaries, that may be all Lombardo needs.
