The 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Nevada were held on November 6, 2018, to elect the four U.S. representatives from the State of Nevada, one from each of the state's four congressional districts. The elections coincided with the Nevada gubernatorial election, as well as other elections to the United States House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections. Primary elections were held on June 12, 2018.
Results of the 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Nevada by district:
Nevada's 1st congressional district occupies the southeastern half of Nevada's largest city, Las Vegas, as well as parts of North Las Vegas and parts of unincorporated Clark County. Incumbent Democrat Dina Titus, who had represented the district since 2013 and previously represented the 3rd district from 2009 to 2011, ran for re-election. She was re-elected with 62% of the vote in 2016, and the district had a PVI of D+15.
Nevada's 2nd congressional district includes the northern third of the state. It includes most of Douglas County and Lyon County, all of Churchill County, Elko County, Eureka County, Humboldt County, Pershing County and Washoe County, as well as the state capital, Carson City. The largest city in the district is Reno, the state's second largest city. Although the district appears rural, its politics are dominated by Reno and Carson City, which combined cast over 85 percent of the district's vote. Incumbent Republican Mark Amodei, who had represented the district since 2011, ran for re-election. He was re-elected with 58% of the vote in 2016, and the district had a PVI of R+7.
Amodei faced a primary challenge from far-right former Senate nominee Sharron Angle.
Clint Koble, former Nevada State Executive Director of the Farm Service Agency of the USDA, announced he was running for the Democratic nomination in November 2017.
The 3rd congressional district occupies the area south of Las Vegas, including Henderson, and most of unincorporated Clark County and was created after the 2000 United States census. Incumbent Democrat Jacky Rosen, who had represented the district since 2017, did not run for re-election; instead she ran against Dean Heller in the U.S. Senate election. She was elected with 47% of the vote in 2016, and the district had a PVI of R+2.
The 4th congressional district was created as a result of the 2010 United States census. Located in the central portion of the state, it includes most of northern Clark County, parts of Lyon County, and all of Esmeralda County, Lincoln County, Mineral County, Nye County and White Pine County. More than four-fifths of the district's population lives in Clark County. Incumbent Democrat Ruben Kihuen, who had represented the district since 2017, did not run for re-election. He was elected with 49% of the vote in 2016, and the district had a PVI of D+3.
In December 2017, Kihuen announced that he would not seek re-election in 2018 following allegations of sexual harassment. At the time, the only candidate who filed to run against him in the primaries was Amy Vilela.
Former U.S. Representative for this district Steven Horsford, who was defeated in the 2014 election, as well as Nevada Legislator Pat Spearman, later announced their plans to run for the Democratic nomination for the seat several months later, following Kihuen's retirement announcement.
The Republican primary featured six candidates. The early frontrunner was Cresent Hardy, who faced questions about his hiring of Benjamin Sparks, a Las Vegas political adviser who allegedly sexually enslaved and battered his ex-fiancée.
This was a rematch of the 2014 election where Hardy upset Horsford to win, by just over 3,500 votes, in what was a strong year for Republicans nationally.
