The League of Women Voters of Nevada is tracking the following bills the week of May 20, 2019. If you are interested in how we select bills for tracking, please see the LWV US “Impact on Issues 2018-2020,” which details the League’s approved issues and positions. https://www.lwv.org/impact-issues
We are a non-partisan organization that does not promote nor work directly with either political party or candidates, but we do advocate for issues that align with our mission. Issues and positions are vetted, studied, and approved through a rigorous consensus process. You can learn more about League here: https://www.lwv.org/
