Five candidates are running in the June 14 Republican primary for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District. Incumbent Susie Lee, who was first elected in 2018, is running in the Democratic primary.
April Becker, John Kovacs, and Noah Malgeri have led in fundraising and media attention.
Becker runs April Becker & Associates, a law practice, and owns several small businesses with her husband. She listed the economy, border security and crime rates, and education as the top issues facing the state. Becker said, “I think Susie Lee doesn’t care about people. I think she is in this job for the wrong reasons. In contrast, I care about the people who I am going to work for…That has been my motivator for everything I have done my entire life. Going to law school, my pro bono work, my senate and congressional race…it is going to be me fighting for the people I work for.” U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca.) and the Nevada Republican Party endorsed Becker.
