LAS VEGAS—Nevada’s anticipated 2022 midterm red wave was forecast to come in a fresco of fiery pink with women favored in the June 14 Republican primaries in three of the state’s four congressional.

But with results slowly trickling in only one of the three women was certain to be on November’s general election ballot.

Las Vegas real estate attorney April Becker was declared the winner in her five-candidate Congressional District 3 (CD 3) primary battle not long after polls closed at 7 p.m. local time.

As daybreak, Latinos For Trump Chair Carolina Serrano had fallen in her CD 1 race while State Assembly Member Anne Black was trailing in her too-close-to-call CD 4 primary.

With an estimated 64 percent of the vote reported, retired U.S. Army Col. Mark Robertson was declared the winner in CD 1 shortly after midnight.

Robertson at that point had garnered 30.2 percent of the tally, outdistancing National Conservatism President David Brog (16.1 percent) and Serrano (15 percent) in the eight-candidate race that saw five contenders draw double-digit percentages.

Robertson, a 30-year US Army and Army Reserve veteran, certified financial planner, and adjunct professor in finance, during the campaign touted his military background.

Robertson will face incumbent Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.), who secured the party’s nod to seek a sixth term.

Titus ads have dominated the Las Vegas airwaves over the last few weeks, in a statement said she was “humbled” with the overwhelming support she received—84.3 percent of the votes with an estimated 70 percent of the vote tallied.

Long the near-exclusive province of Democrats before the state assembly reshuffled the deck in post-2020 Census reapportionment, the former inner Las Vegas district CD 1 now includes suburban areas to the south, including where Robertson lives.

With its reconfigured demographics doubling the district’s number of registered Republicans to nearly 110,000, what had been a 2-to-1 Democratic voter bulge in CD 1 has been scaled back to single-percentage points.

As a result, the Cook Political Report, which didn’t classify CD 1 as competitive two years ago—only one Republican has been elected by district voters in the 40 years since Nevada gained a second congressional seat—ranked it “competitive but leaning Democrat” this year before revising it to “toss-up” in May.

In CD 4, Las Vegas insurance firm owner and retired U.S. Air Force Major Sam Peters led the favored Black by nearly 7 percent on Wednesday morning in a race too close to call.

Black was on the National Republican Congressional Committee’s “On the Radar” list of “Young Guns.” She touted her ranking as Nevada’s most conservative lawmaker based on Nevada Policy Research Institute ratings.

In one of the more animated primary battles that saw both candidates accuse each other of engaging in personal attacks, Peters said from his home that he wasn’t declaring victory until the final results are known.

Peters was endorsed by the Nevada Republican Party, the Nevada Firearms Coalition PAC, and Public Safety Alliance of Nevada, a coalition of law enforcement groups. He said Black’s January entry into the race was too late to make up the ground he’d campaigned on for almost a full year.

His service as a veteran also caught voters’ attention,  he said. “We’re at a time when Congress has the fewest number of veterans serving in the House in history,” he said.

The winner will take on two-term Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) in the sprawling seven-county district that the Democratic-controlled state legislature tweaked to bolster the incumbent’s reelection odds.

But with ambient anger over inflation and dissatisfaction with the Biden administration mounting, those moves may backfire on Democrats in November. As with CDs 1 and 3, Cook Political Reports rates what had been “likely” Democratic win in CD 4 now as a “toss-up.”

Horsford did not face a primary challenger and has more than $2 million in his campaign war chest in a district where Democrats hold a 10.5 percent advantage in registered voters. He has endangered his reelection after admitting to a longtime affair with a former intern of the late Nevada Sen. Harry Reid.

At her election watch in Summerlin, Becker said before CD 3 GOP primary results were posted that she was “feeling great” about her chances.

Becker will take on Rep. Lee (D-LNev.) who secured more than 89 percent of the CD 3 Democratic primary vote and has nearly $2.4 million in her campaign coffers in seeking a third term in November’s general election.
