Here are some recommendations for voting in the 2020 Election. The recommendations were compiled from various sources that endorse candidates. Additionally, in staying consistent with the RSIC’s candidate contributions, recommendations are made for incumbents in the legislative and congressional races. Finally, we’ve only listed the races where there are two candidates.

President/Vice President:  Joe Biden; Kamala Harris

Congress, District 2:  Mark Amodei

Assembly, District 24:  Sarah Peters

Assembly, District 32:  Alexis Hansen

Supreme Court, Seat B:  Kristina Pickering

Supreme Court, Seat D:  Ozzie Fumo

Court of Appeals, Department 3:  Bonnie Bulla

District Court, Department 10:  Elliott Sattler

District Court, Family Court, Department 11:  Paige Dollinger

District Court, Family Court, Department 13:  Bridget Robb

University Board of Regents, District 10:  There were very few endorsements from which to make a recommendation on the Board of Regents race. Kevin Melcher is an educator, was appointed to the State Board of Education, and was previously a regent in a different district. Arrascada has never held elective office, but he got the endorsement of the NV Faculty Alliance. Each of them secured an endorsement from one labor organization with Melcher being endorsed by Local 4041 AFSCME.

Ballot Questions:  Yes on all of them.
