Lieutenant Governor's race: Lisa Cano Burkhead (D) and Stavros Anthony (R)

Her challenger, former Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer and current Las Vegas City Councilman Stavros Anthony, tells Hinton why he thinks voters should put him in the lieutenant governor's office instead.

Attorney General: Aaron Ford (D) and Sigal Chattah (R)
Justin Hinton asks Attorney General Aaron Ford for his positions on criminal justice reform, government transparency, abortion rights, and the death penalty. Asked why voters should choose him over his opponent this election, Ford tells Hinton, "there are several reasons, no the least of which is competence."
Ford's Republican challenger, Sigal Chattah, is known for lawsuits challenging lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hinton asked Chattah to explain her positions on major issues and what she would bring to the role of attorney general.

U.S. House District 4: Steven Horsford (D) and Sam Peters (R)
Rep. Steven Horsford, the incumbent, says he focuses on making communities stronger by helping people gain skills and education to provide for themselves and their families. He tells Justin Hinton he's proud of his vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, and works to lower costs for families, create better-paying jobs, and help improve community safety.
Republican Sam Peters is his challenger. Peters is a retired military officer, serving the country for 20 years. He moved here in 2015 and opened an insurance agency in Summerlin. Peters tells Hinton he joined the political sphere because he's not comfortable with the direction the country is headed and believes he has something to offer.
