Election of Catherine Cortez-Masto as US Senator
The 2016 United States Senate election in Nevada was held November 8, 2016 to elect a member of the
United States Senate to represent the State of
Nevada , concurrently with the
2016 U.S. presidential election , as well as
other elections to the United States Senate in other states and
elections to the
United States House of Representatives and various
state and
local elections . The state primary election was held June 14, 2016.

Incumbent
Democratic Senator
Harry Reid , the
Senate Minority Leader and former
Senate Majority Leader , initially said he would seek re-election to a sixth term, but announced on March 26, 2015, that he would retire instead.
[2]
[3] Democratic former State Attorney General
Catherine Cortez Masto defeated Republican U.S. Representative
Joe Heck in the general election on November 8, 2016. Heck won sixteen of the state's seventeen
counties ; however, since Cortez Masto won
Clark County , which comprises nearly three-quarters of the state's population, she defeated Heck statewide by almost 27,000 votes, and became the first female and first Latina senator in Nevada's history. As of 2023, this would be the last time
Washoe County voted for a Republican Senate candidate.
