As Democrats attempt to hold their supermajority in the Assembly, Northern Nevada’s Assembly District 25 is one of the districts where Republicans hope to gain a foothold.
The sprawling swing district stretching from Bartley Ranch to Reno’s Northgate community includes parts of the city’s old southwest and northwest neighborhoods and Caughlin Ranch communities. Assemblywoman Selena La Rue Hatch (D-Reno) represents the district where registered Democratic (33 percent) and Republican (30 percent) voters are fairly evenly split, with nonpartisans making up about 28 percent of voters.
La Rue Hatch is a fourth-generation Nevadan who grew up on a ranch near Pyramid Lake and teaches world history and geography at North Valleys High School. She attended Boston University for her undergraduate degree and later returned to Reno, where she earned a teaching degree at UNR and wanted “to give back to the community.”
La Rue Hatch is seeking re-election to a district she won with almost 54 percent of the just over 32,000 votes cast in the 2022 election. She said her goal as an elected official is to bring the voices of her students, their families and her community into the halls of power and improve education in the Sagebrush State.
