NV-AD41: On the record: Assembly District 41 candidates Sandra Jauregui (D) and Rafael Arroyo (R)
he race for Assembly District 41 between Assembly Majority Leader Sandra Jauregui (D-Las Vegas) and Republican business owner Rafael Arroyo is set to be a competitive one and key to whether Democrats can hold a two-thirds supermajority in the Assembly.
Assembly District 41, which straddles St. Rose Parkway and includes parts of Henderson and unincorporated parts of Clark County, has long leaned Democratic. About 32 percent of the 55,000 voters in the district are registered as Democrats, while 26 percent are registered Republicans and the other 32 percent are nonpartisan.
Jauregui, 41, has been a state lawmaker since 2016 and currently is the Democratic majority leader — the third-highest-ranking member of the Nevada Assembly. The California native moved to Nevada decades ago to attend UNLV and got roped into Nevada politics, interning for former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).
Afterwards, she worked for Nevada nonprofits focused on helping people affected by the foreclosure crisis and politicians including Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV). She currently works for Hilltop Public Solutions, a political consulting firm.
