Nevada’s premier pro-business advocacy organization backs candidates committed to economic growth, fiscal responsibility, and a legislature that works for Nevada’s job creators
LAS VEGAS, NV — Keystone Corporation is proud to announce its endorsements in 14 contested Nevada State Legislature races ahead of the November 2026 general election. These endorsements represent the culmination of a rigorous vetting process and reflect Keystone Corporation’s unwavering commitment to electing leaders who will defend Nevada’s competitive business environment in Carson City.
The Endorsement Process
Keystone Corporation does not take its endorsements lightly. Every candidate considered for a Keystone endorsement goes through a thorough evaluation process that includes a review of their policy positions, professional background, and track record of engagement with Nevada’s business community. Candidates are assessed on their commitment to core principles that Keystone has championed for more than 30 years — limited government, fiscal responsibility, free enterprise, and opposition to burdensome regulation and unnecessary tax increases.
In competitive legislative races, Keystone’s endorsement process goes further. The organization evaluates candidates on their understanding of the issues that matter most to Nevada employers: workforce development, energy policy, housing supply, public safety, and the regulatory environment that determines whether businesses choose to grow here or elsewhere. Candidates who earn a Keystone endorsement have demonstrated not only that they share these values, but that they are prepared to fight for them when it counts — on the floor of the Legislature, in committee hearings, and in the conversations that shape Nevada policy behind the scenes.

Why These Races Matter
Nevada is at an inflection point. The state has led the nation in job growth for more than ten consecutive months. Record private investment is pouring into the Las Vegas Strip and communities across the state. A historic wave of economic diversification is reshaping what Nevada looks like beyond gaming and tourism. The policy decisions made in the 2027 legislative session will either accelerate that momentum or threaten it.
The composition of the Nevada Legislature matters enormously to that outcome. Tax policy, regulatory frameworks, energy costs, housing supply, and workforce investment are all determined in Carson City — and the business community needs legislators in those chambers who understand that every policy decision carries an economic consequence. Legislators who treat businesses as adversaries, who reach for new taxes before examining existing spending, and who impose regulatory burdens without weighing their impact on job creation do not serve Nevada’s long-term interests. The candidates Keystone has endorsed understand this — and they are prepared to govern accordingly.
A Pro-Business Majority Starts with These Races
Each of the 14 races on this list is contested, and each one matters. Legislative majorities are built one district at a time, and the candidates Keystone has endorsed represent the opportunity to strengthen Nevada’s pro-business caucus in both chambers heading into a session that will set the tone for the remainder of the decade.
Keystone Corporation will continue to actively support each of these candidates through the November election and stands ready to work alongside them in the 2027 legislative session on behalf of Nevada’s business community.
Keystone Corporation urges voters in these districts to support these candidates on November 3, 2026.
