Nevada Democrats Choose U.S. House Nominee for Special Election Via Committee Meeting

On June 25, the Nevada Democratic Party state central committee chose Kate Marshall as its nominee for U.S. House, in the upcoming September special election in the 2nd (northern) district. See this story.

The Nevada Democratic Party is still asking the State Supreme Court to rule that anyone may run, with a party label, in that special election, instead of just party nominees and various independent candidates who obtain 250 valid signatures. However, the fact that the Democratic Party chose a party nominee will probably weaken its lawsuit, and make it more likely that the State Supreme Court will agree with the lower state court that special elections are still partisan elections.

  1. Why not just let everyone run. Otherwise run primaries like special elections where nominee’s are selected at conventions or meetings.
