Nevada Primary Elections 2022
Our primary goal at KNPR News is to keep Southern Nevada informed.
That goal is even more pronounced during the election season. We are always looking for ways to help voters make the best decisions for themselves and their community.
The 2022 elections are a critical opportunity for voters across Nevada to cast their ballots in support of the leadership they want to see at the local, state, and national levels. This year, the issues are many. They include school safety, the rising costs of living and climate change, just to name a few.
We offered each candidate the opportunity to record a 20-25 minute conversation about the race and the issues and complete a Candidate Questionnaire. We want you to get to know the candidate, why they’re running and what they hope to accomplish if elected.
