CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Both parties will return to the Nevada Legislature with unchanged leadership in 2021, after Republicans and Democrats reelected lawmakers to top positions in the state Senate and Assembly.
Democratic lawmakers unanimously reelected Nicole Cannizzaro as Senate Majority Leader and Jason Frierson as Assembly Speaker.
Republicans voted to keep James Settelmeyer as Senate minority leader and Dr. Robin Titus as Assembly Minority Leader.
After the caucuses announced the leadership decision, incoming Assemblywoman Annie Black, a Republican from Mesquite, said she would not join the Republican caucus in the upcoming legislative session but navigate Carson City as an independent while still voting in alignment with her conservative values.
