Las Vegas, NV – The Nevada Republican Party is excited to present the candidates that have filed to participate in the 2024 First in the West Republican Caucus being held on February 8, 2024 at 5PM.

It is a crucial event in the political calendar because it provides Nevadans with a unique opportunity to voice their preferences and play a pivotal role in shaping the direction of our country. The Nevada Republican Party is proud to announce the following candidates who have filed to participate in this historic event:
