"Nevada Senate Race Reaches Toss-Up as Record Ad Buy Shifts Dynamics"

Nevada Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen has reserved a record-breaking $14 million for ads in anticipation of a tough Senate race, following a shift in the race's rating to "Toss Up" by the Cook Political Report. Her Republican opponents are in a crowded primary, and the ad reservation surpasses the previous record set by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto. Despite touting bipartisanship, Rosen's voting record aligns closely with President Biden. Political advertising spending in Nevada is historically high, with the 2022 Senate race being the third most expensive in the country. Former U.S. Army Capt. Sam Brown is the frontrunner among Republican candidates seeking the Senate nomination.

"Texas House Shaken by Record GOP Primary Upsets and Rightward Shift"

The Texas House is expected to shift further to the right after a record number of GOP incumbents were ousted in the primary elections, with firebrand Republican candidates likely to replace them. The anti-establishment energy was fueled by disputes over the Legislature's functioning and the impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton. Governor Greg Abbott's efforts to purge Republicans who opposed his school voucher push also played a role. The primary results signal a potential cultural change in the House, with incoming freshmen likely to bring a more conservative and uncompromising style to the chamber, potentially reshaping it in the image of the more conservative Senate.
