Where the Money Comes From — By Industry

Industries are classified by the donor entity name and Nevada Secretary of State filing context. PACs that obscure their underlying industry (e.g., "Citizens for Justice Trust" = the Nevada Justice Association, the trial-lawyer trade group) are categorized by their actual sector.

Donor Concentrations Worth a Voter's Attention

We do not assert causation between any contribution and any vote. We do present the factual record so AD-42 voters can make their own assessment.

Big Pharma + Healthcare ($62,000)

Tracy is Chair of the Assembly Health and Human Services Committee. She sponsored AB202 (managed-care insurer dispute-resolution provisions). She sponsored AB107 (foster-home background-check removal). She voted Nay on AB346 (medical aid in dying) — one of her only six Nay votes.

Strip casinos + Gaming ($48,000)

The Las Vegas Strip is in Assembly District 13, not AD-42. Tracy's district is suburban southwest Las Vegas — Spring Valley, Mountain's Edge, Enterprise. Strip casino contributions to a non-Strip district representative are worth a voter's attention.

Out-of-state donors ($154,774 — 25.8% of total)

More than a quarter of Tracy's campaign chest came from outside Nevada — California, Colorado, Illinois, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia. AD-42 voters fund a Carson City representative; out-of-state donors do not vote in this district.

Public-employee unions ($44,106)

Tracy voted Yea on every state-employee-benefit, pension-revision, and union-friendly bill on the 2025 floor calendar. Cross-reference at the full voting record.

By Contrast: Chris Brandlin

Chris Brandlin is running a grassroots, door-to-door campaign in AD-42. He doesn't take money from out-of-state corporate PACs. His campaign is built on individual Nevadans in Spring Valley, Mountain's Edge, Enterprise and the southwest valley who want a representative who knocks on their door, not one who returns a Carson City lobbyist's call.
