High-profile political leaders leading rallies in Las Vegas this week

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson will headline a "Get Out the Vote" rally Tuesday evening at UFC's Meta Apex to support congressional candidates Marty O'Donnell and Carrie Buck. O'Donnell is challenging incumbent Democrat Susie Lee in Congressional District 3, while Buck faces incumbent Democrat Dina Titus in Congressional District 1. Both races have attracted significant spending from political action committees ahead of the November 3 election.

On the Democratic side, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer are campaigning for a slate of candidates including Aaron Ford, who is running against Republican Governor Joe Lombardo, and incumbents Steven Horsford, Susie Lee, and Dina Titus. Warren appeared Tuesday morning at an affordable housing tour with Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and was scheduled for a reproductive rights rally Tuesday afternoon, followed by an evening event in Henderson.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon toured Pinecrest Academy in Henderson with Carrie Buck, who serves as the charter school's executive director and previously worked there as a principal before her 2020 election to the state senate.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is set to appear Wednesday at a Culinary Union membership meeting with Titus and Ford. The private event at the union's Spring Mountain Road headquarters is expected to draw hundreds of members.

Additional events include a Thursday Latino voter unity event at the Culinary Academy featuring Stacey Abrams and California Congressman Ro Khanna alongside several Latino advocacy leaders. New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is scheduled to campaign Saturday in North Las Vegas with Horsford.
