AD-9 and AD-42: Neely and Brandlin Working Together

Why two Las Vegas Assembly districts are campaigning together

Assembly districts are lines on a map, but the neighborhoods on either side of those lines share the same roads, the same schools, and the same cost-of-living pressure. Here, Chris Brandlin and the AD-9 nominee, Neely, make the case for running as neighbors rather than as two separate campaigns in the 2026 Nevada Assembly election.

The practical argument is the ground game. Two adjacent districts can share volunteers, walk lists, and turnout data instead of paying for the same work twice. Every door knocked near a district boundary does double duty. You can see that in practice in the Sunday doorwalk for the full Republican slate.

The larger argument is accountability. Voters in Southwest Las Vegas do not experience representation district by district — they experience it as whether anyone shows up between elections. Candidates who campaign together are easier to hold to that standard afterward, which is the premise behind the voting-record accountability project.

Get involved

District boundaries, sample ballots, and registration deadlines are published by the Nevada Secretary of State, and you can check or update your voter registration there directly. If you want to work a district rather than just vote in one, start at the volunteer page or join the campaign.
