Attorney General of Nevada

Statewide — all of Nevada

General election · Tuesday, November 3, 2026

The seat is open: Democratic incumbent Aaron Ford is term-limited and running for governor.[6]
Cannizzaro, the state Senate majority leader, won the June 9 Democratic primary with 61.7% over Zach Conine (34.4%). Guzmán Fralick won the Republican primary with 59.9% over Danny Tarkanian (34.8%).[1]
The Nevada Independent describes the race as a longtime prosecutor and state senator against a lawyer who has never held elected office. Suing the federal government is a central theme; the paper reports Ford has been a plaintiff in almost 90 lawsuits across both Trump terms.[2][3]
Clark County's official Nov. 3, 2026 contest and candidate list (Aug. 24, 2026) shows two candidates for Attorney General: Nicole Jeanette Cannizzaro (Democratic) and Adriana Guzmán Fralick (Republican).[7]

Issue evidence — side by side

Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits

Slate: confirmed against Clark County's official general-election contest list (the Secretary of State's site blocks automated access); it matches Ballotpedia. Cannizzaro's campaign site lists issue-area headings only (no text), so her stances come from The Nevada Independent's questionnaire, where several answers were not a clear yes or no and are not recorded as stances. Cannizzaro's record items come from that outlet's account of her votes, not roll-call pages. Official Legislature roll calls for her votes were not reachable.
