A professional poker player, a renowned video game composer, and a transgender rocker are among candidates, if not the frontrunners, seeking their party’s nod in Nevada’s Congressional District 3 (CD 3) June 11 primaries.

The southern Nevada district, which stretches from Las Vegas to Laughlin, has been represented by Rep. Susie Lee, a Democrat, since 2018. Ms. Lee defeated Republican April Becker by 3 percentage points in 2022 to retain her seat.
