District 1
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Nevada's 1st congressional district occupies most of Nevada's largest city, Las Vegas, as well as parts of North Las Vegas and parts of unincorporated Clark County. The incumbent is Democrat Dina Titus, who has represented the 1st district since she won election in 2008.[1] With incumbent Democratic Senator Harry Reid not running for reelection, Titus was considering running for Senate.[1] However, she decided to run for re-election.[2]
Mary Perry, an attorney who ran for District Court Judge in 2014, is running for the Republican nomination.[3]
District 2
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Nevada's 2nd congressional district includes the northern third of the state. It includes most of Douglas and Lyon counties, all of Churchill, Elko, Eureka, Humboldt, Pershing and Washoe counties, 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. The incumbent is Republican Mark Amodei, who has represented the 2nd district since September 2011 following a special election upon the appointment of Dean Heller to the Senate.
Amodei was mentioned as a potential candidate for the U.S. Senate, but denied having any interest.[4][5] In May 2015 Amodei reiterated his commitment to running for re-election.[6]
District 3
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
The 3rd congressional district occupies the area south of Las Vegas, including Henderson, and most of unincorporated Clark County. The district was initially created after the 2000 census. The incumbent is Republican Joe Heck, who has represented the 3rd district since January 2011. Heck is running for the Senate seat being vacated by Reid.[1][7]
