NV-AD35: Republican has enjoyed fundraising advantage in bid to flip Assembly seat

In nonpartisan-rich Assembly District 35, Republican candidate Rebecca Edgeworth has significantly outraised her Democratic opponent Sharifa Wahab in the race for a long-held blue seat Republicans are trying to flip.

Edgeworth, a doctor and the medical director for Touro University, and Wahab, who runs a senior health care business, are vying for the seat after Democratic Assemblywoman Michelle Gorelow said she wouldn’t seek re-election.

Gorelow’s announcement not to run again came after the Gov. Joe Lombardo-aligned Better Nevada PAC publicly attacked her for taking a job as director of a disability advocacy nonprofit months after it received $250,000 in funding through a bill she voted on.

Gorelow was elected in 2018 to AD 35, located in the Southwest Las Vegas valley. Other than the red wave of 2014, the seat has long been Democratic-held.
