The Pleasant Senior Center in Winnemucca is seeking sponsors for its annual Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Sponsorship for these meals helps provide local seniors with a homecooked holiday meal, ensuring they can enjoy the festive season without the burden of contributing to the meal.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada Democrats will maintain their power in the statehouse but have fallen short of securing a two-thirds supermajority in both chambers that would have stripped Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo of his veto power when they convene early next year. Democrats lost their razor-thin supermajority of 28 seats in the state Assembly after Republicans successfully flipped a competitive district on the southern edge of Las Vegas.
The rain cleared out early Saturday morning but the wind was still blowing hard for a 10 a.m. kickoff at McQueen High School in Reno. The McQueen field is situated on a hill on campus in one of the most wind-prone areas in Reno. That meant trouble for Incline, who loves to throw the ball. Tommy Williams, one of the best quarterbacks in Nevada had trouble throwing the ball all day. With all those factors in play, the Pershing County High School football team won its first state championship since 2018 on Saturday. The Mustangs beat the Highlanders 26-6.

When Vice President Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket in July, Democrats in Nevada were ecstatic. Something needed to change. Throughout the year, former President Donald Trump — who had never won Nevada in two prior attempts — was leading Biden in polling by significant margins. On the day that Biden dropped out, Trump’s lead in the polling average was nearly 6 percentage points.
WASHINGTON — Republicans will hold on to their majority in the U.S. House and regain control of the Senate when Congress convenes in January.

The AP called 208 seats for Democrats so far, with nine yet to be decided as of early Thursday.

Nevada broke its record for signature cures completed of mail ballots, as well as for votes that were not counted because of ineligible signatures in this month’s election. The signatures on more than 23,000 mail ballots were successfully cured in this month’s election — meaning election officials confirmed an eligible voter was linked to a ballot with a signature not matching the one in the state’s voter file, and the issue was resolved. Meanwhile more than 9,000 mail ballots had inadequate signatures and will not be counted.
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — President Joe Biden's administration on Friday proposed tighter restrictions on oil, solar and wind energy development across more than 6,500 square miles of federal land in the U.S. West to protect a declining bird species. However, it is doubtful the changes would survive under President-elect Donald Trump. Greater sage-grouse — chicken-sized birds known for an elaborate mating ritual— were once found across much of the U.S. West. Their numbers plummeted in recent decades due to various factors such as wildfires, disease, development and other pressures.
