Elaine Marzola

Asm. Elaine Marzola is an attorney and proud Brazilian-American from the Las Vegas area running this fall for reelection to the Nevada Assembly. As an immigrant, Elaine learned early on what it means to start with limited resources while working relentlessly toward a better future. She put herself through undergraduate school and law school as a single mom, and her experiences have shown her how access to education, economic opportunities, and supportive public institutions can make all the difference in a person’s life. As a legislator, Elaine has been a strong voice for Nevada’s working families, and if she is reelected, she will continue to fight for all Nevadans.

Elaine successfully defended her seat in highly competitive elections in both 2022 and 2024 as a DLCC Target Race candidate. This year, she’s mounting another strong campaign to keep District 21 blue and help Democrats establish a supermajority in the Nevada Assembly.

2026 is a historic opportunity to build Democratic power in Nevada and establish a blue supermajority in the state Assembly.

Since flipping both chambers of the Nevada legislature in 2016, Democratic leadership has brought sweeping progress to the state, including universal free school meals for students, minimum wage increases, and civil rights protections for women and LGBTQ+ Nevadans.

The DLCC has been on the ground in Nevada cycle after cycle, supporting candidates in the most competitive races to protect Democratic majorities in the state Senate and Assembly.

This year, Democrats in the Nevada Assembly need to gain just one seat to secure a supermajority, bringing them closer to passing key legislation even if a Republican governor attempts to veto it.

With so much work still needed to ensure a bright future for the state, we can’t afford to lose an inch of ground to Republican extremism in Nevada.
