For Immediate Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Next 50 today announced its endorsement of Nevada House Majority Leader Sandra Jauregui for Nevada Lieutenant Governor, doubling down on a proven next-generation leader as she takes the critical step to statewide office. This marks The Next 50’s third consecutive cycle backing Jauregui, reflecting the organization’s commitment to going long on leaders who have demonstrated they can win tough races and deliver results once in office.

“We’re doubling down on our support for Sandra Jauregui––an exceptional leader who has proven she can win tough races and deliver once in office,” said Mari Manoogian, Executive Director of The Next 50. “She’s taken on powerful interests and won—capping insulin costs, protecting healthcare access, and turning her personal experience with gun violence into meaningful policy change. Sandra knows how to build coalitions, pass legislation that matters, and fight for working families. That’s exactly the kind of proven leadership Nevada needs in statewide office, and that’s why we’re going long on leaders like her.”

“I am so proud to have the support of The Next 50,” said Nevada House Majority Leader Sandra Jauregui. “Their mission in elevating the next generation of leaders has helped infuse new energy, ideas, and experience at all levels of government – exactly what we need to help build a new future where every family can afford a home, find good-paying jobs, and make the American Dream attainable again.”

About Nevada House Majority Leader Sandra Jauregui

Sandra Jauregui has been fighting for Nevadans since she was elected to represent the 41st District in the Nevada Assembly in 2016. In the Assembly, she has gone to bat for working families—tackling affordable housing, protecting public lands, creating good-paying jobs, and safeguarding wages and benefits for state employees during the pandemic. A survivor of the 1 October shooting, Sandra has turned personal tragedy into action, championing common-sense gun violence prevention laws that protect Nevadans across the state. As the Democratic Majority Leader, Sandra has taken on some of the toughest fights, delivered real results for working families, and shown she is unafraid to stand up to the powerful. Now, Sandra is running to bring that same bold leadership and proven track record to the Lieutenant Governor’s office.
