  Before wrapping up this series with a look at the State Assembly, let’s dispel the myth that money automatically wins elections. Exhibit A: District Court Judge, Eighth Judicial, Dept. 30, in Clark County. Incumbent Judge Jerry Wiese vs. challenger Josh Santeramo. According to the last campaign finance report through ...

  Before taking a look at the State Senate races, let’s look at some turnout numbers in Clark County. In the 2022, the last midterm election, about 47% of registered Democrats turned out and voted while a little over 57% of Republicans turned out. That’s a ten point GOP advantage ...
