Nevada: Openly transgender candidate wins GOP primary for state Assembly

Openly transgender candidate Lauren Scott won the Republican primary election for Nevada Assembly District 30 last night, beating out Adam Khan, who have been endorsed by the Nevada Republican Assembly (NVRA).

Scott has been endorsed by Governor Brian Sandoval.

Nevada Assembly District 30 has a slight Democrat voter advantage but a moderate GOP candidate has an opportunity to win the general election in a year with low voter turnout.
