Voters reject Southern Nevada school board candidates backed by Moms for Liberty

Two years ago, President Donald Trump's red wave trickled into the Clark County School Board races and propelled two candidates who campaigned on culture war issues to victories. The same did not happen this election. Although two similar candidates supported by a conservative parents group, Moms for Liberty, made it to the general election, neither succeeded. If they had won, there would have been four trustees on the board aligned with the organization, which has advocated to ban books that include sexual themes and opposed policies that support LGBTQ+ students.

Several incumbents on boards overseeing K-12 and higher education systems are on track to be re-elected, according to early results posted Thursday afternoon. Three Board of Regents incumbents have a comfortable lead in their races, while a fourth is facing a tight race.
