Hi Friend,

As quickly as it came, the Special Session of the Nevada Legislature is now over, and we’ve got some new Congressional, Legislative, and Board of Regents districts to show for it. If you were following along from home, I’ve been Out in Front of the Carson City capitol building each of the 5 days of this session to share the latest updates on how the process was coming along, and connecting you with resources to participate! 

I was proud to have members of the Nevadans Count coalition join me each day as we spoke out fiercely for the inclusion of community input in these maps that will shape Nevada’s political future for the next decade. Sadly, not all of our coalition partner’s concerns were heard this past weekend. The maps that ultimately passed did include some suggested changes, such as placing Walker River Paiute Tribe within one district. But nearly 300,000 Latino voters who reside in the current Congressional District 1 in Southern Nevada now find their community divided up between Districts 1, 3, and 4. 

If you missed what happened over this past weekend during the Special Session, get caught up with the highlights by checking out our Out in Front episodes! We went live Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday to discuss all the map-drawing developments and what the community was saying every step of the way. 

We’ll be taking a break from Out in Front for the holidays. Please have a restful and safe holiday weekend next week! We’ll be back with more Out in Front starting Thursday, December 2nd, so mark your calendar for the big return!

See you soon,
