NV-AD37: With supermajority in play, Dem assemblywoman faces Lombardo-backed challenger in swing district
With the Democratic supermajority in the Assembly on the line, Democrats and Republicans are eyeing control of Assembly District 37, a seat that has ping-ponged red-blue-red-blue.
Incumbent Democratic Assemblywoman Shea Backus, who will face Republican David Brog in the general election, said though the seat in Clark County currently has a slight Democratic edge, retaining the seat will “still be hard work.”
“I think it’s still competitive,” Backus said. “I only won by about 800 votes the last time, which wasn’t a large margin.”
The race has garnered attention from national groups including the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC), the official arm of Democratic Party focused on state legislative races.
