Nev. Democrats focus on regaining Assembly majority
By Ray Hagar, Reno Gazette-Journal
Democrats were shocked with the election results in 2014 when they lost the majority in the Nevada Assembly for the first time in nearly two decades.
Now they are developing their strategy to take back the majority and the power that comes with it in the 2016 general election. Democrats hope to stop the first back-to-back Republican majorities in the lower house since the 1969 and 1971 sessions.
Democrats also hope to regain the majority in the state Senate after the Republicans’ 2014 trifecta: Winning the governor’s office and majorities in both houses of the Legislature.
