Republican Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo will face Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford in a battle to hold onto his seat in November. The contest is considered one of the most competitive governor’s races in the country. Both won their party’s nominations Tuesday as Nevada held primaries for key offices. That included a swing seat in the Las Vegas area where the GOP nominated Marty O’Donnell, a composer known for writing the soundtrack to the video game “Halo.” O'Donnell will face Democratic Rep. Susie Lee. The voting comes as Nevada grapples with an affordable housing shortage, exploding energy demand from data centers and federal cuts to key state programs.
