The Nevada Senate Democratic Caucus elected Sen. Edgar Flores as Senate majority leader for the upcoming legislative session, the caucus announced Thursday. Flores, an attorney whose work has focused on consumer protection, workers' rights and immigrant advocacy, said he is honored by his colleagues' trust.
"I am deeply honored by the trust my colleagues have placed in me to lead our caucus," Flores said in a statement. "Our state faces urgent challenges, and working-class Nevadans are counting on us to deliver real solutions. From expanding access to affordable housing and healthcare to investing in our neighborhood public schools and making sure our economy works for everyday people. I am excited to get to Carson City and work with our colleagues in the Assembly and Governor-elect Aaron Ford to build a Nevada where every community has the resources and opportunities to thrive."
The caucus said it will prioritize lowering the cost of living, strengthening worker protections, fully funding schools and expanding economic opportunity across the state under Flores' leadership. Flores and the Senate Democratic leadership team will spend the coming weeks organizing committees and finalizing the caucus' legislative framework for the session.
