Nevada Senate Democrats have selected Senator Nicole Cannizzaro to serve for a fourth consecutive legislative session as Senate Majority Leader.
First elected as leader in 2019, she became the Nevada Senate’s first female majority leader and leads the nation’s only female majority legislature. She is the longest serving majority leader since Senator Bill Raggio last held the position during the 2007 session.
“This year, Nevada voters sustained a strong Democratic majority in the state senate, and I am grateful that my colleagues have again selected me to serve as their Majority Leader,” said Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro. “Our first priority will always be the people of Nevada. I am excited to get back to work to bring down costs, protect our rights from federal overreach, make housing more affordable, and ensure all Nevadans have access to quality and affordable health care.”
In the coming weeks, Cannizzaro will make further announcements regarding her leadership team, committee chairs, and committee assignments.
