Susie Lee and Marty O’Donnell compete for Nevada's 3rd District seat

The race for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District has become a focal point of national attention, featuring incumbent Democrat Susie Lee and Republican challenger Marty O’Donnell. The contest is considered one of the most competitive in the country, with O’Donnell receiving significant financial investment and support from the national Republican party.

Policy debates between the candidates include the SAVE America Act, immigration enforcement, and tax policy. Rep. Lee has opposed the SAVE America Act, arguing it could disenfranchise millions of voters by requiring proof of citizenship. Meanwhile, controversy has emerged regarding Lee’s stance on taxation. Critics have pointed to advertisements by the group Elect Democratic Women claiming Lee supports ending taxes on tips, noting that she previously voted against the Working Families Tax Cuts that implemented such policies.

O’Donnell, a video game composer, is running on a platform supported by national Republican leadership, while Lee seeks to defend her Las Vegas-based seat.
