Nevada
Make the Road Action Nevada (MRA-NV) builds power in Latinx and working class communities to achieve dignity and justice for all. MRA-NV focuses its engagement on issues that are most salient to its members, including pathways to citizenship, voter protections, and housing insecurity, and helps enlist voters to use their power at the ballot box.
Recent Achievements
MRNA-NV helped achieve important wins in Nevada in 2024:
Held U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen’s seat by just 1.5%, thanks in part to MRA-NV’s ballot curing efforts following the election
Held all three highly contested Democratic U.S. House seats
Won a ballot measure amending the state constitution to protect reproductive rights
Retained Democratic control of both state Senate and state Assembly, electing MRA-NV member and staffer Cinthia Zermeño Moore to the State Assembly.
In 2024, with the support of Flip the Vote, MRA-NV deployed a layered strategy that blended paid canvassing, deep volunteer engagement, culturally resonant digital content, and relational organizing. Flip the Vote’s support allowed MRA-NV to move fast, adapt smartly, and fight misinformation head-on. MRA-NV launched and scaled its Guardians of Democracy relational organizing program, training over 60 block captains to activate their communities using peer-to-peer outreach based in trust and relationships. In addition, MRA-NV was able to expand its rural organizing by shifting from a fragile part-time staffing model to a stronger, full-time staff footprint that cultivated deeper relationships in underserved areas.
What makes Nevada crucial this cycle
Three Democratic-held U.S. House seats are competitive and have been targeted by the RNC; holding these seats is essential to flipping the House.
Statewide races for Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State will determine control over electoral processes in this important battleground state.
What Flip the Vote’s support means in 2025 and 2026
With support from Flip the Vote, MRA-NV will have the resources to build on its successful Guardians of Democracy program and rural outreach, inspiring Democratic Latinx voters to cast their ballots in a number of must-win races. In addition to its permanent and temporary paid staff, MRA-NV provides stipends to its volunteers so that they are able to take time off work to do outreach in the large and growing Latinx electorate.
