| 词条 | Nevada Senate, District 2 |
| 释义 |
The current District 2 of the Nevada Senate contains parts of Las Vegas, including a large part of Downtown, a small section of North Las Vegas, and parts of Sunrise Manor in Clark County. Its inhabitants are represented in the Nevada Senate by Democrat Mo Denis since the district's creation in 2012.[1] HistoryThe present second senatorial district came into existence when the senatorial districts were reapportioned after the 2010 Census.[1] The revised borders went into effect on January 1, 2012 for filing for office, and for nominating and electing senators. They became effective for all other purposes on November 7 of the same year – the day after Election Day, when most senator terms began. In the Nevada Revised Statutes, the area of District 2 is defined using census tracts, block groups, and blocks.[2] The first elections in the district were held in 2014, and were won by Mo Denis.[1] In the period between 2012 and 2014, when the new District 2 was in use, it was represented by Mo Denis, who was elected senator of the former District 2 in 2010.[2][3] During the 2013 session, he was the Senate Majority Leader.[4] When Denis was elected in 2010, the second district didn't include Downtown Las Vegas.[5] District profile and demographicsThe second senatorial district has a surface area of {{Convert|15.9|sqmi}}, which makes it the smallest senatorial district in Nevada. The perimeter amounts to {{Convert|22.4|mi}}.[6] The area of District 2 exactly matches that of Assembly districts 11 and 28.[7] In 2010, District 2 housed a total of 40,500 registered voters, which is over 30% of the total population and over 45% of the voting age population. No other district in Nevada had such low percentage of registered voters. Of the registered voters, 60% is Democratic, 15% is Republican, and 15% is nonpartisan.[8] District 2 has a population of 128,715 according to the 2010 Census. That figure is 0.09% above the ideal. Just under 45% of the population of the district is solely white, which makes it the senatorial district with the smallest white population after District 4. Over two-thirds of the district's inhabitants are Hispanic or Latino. District 2 is the only senate district in Nevada with a Hispanic/Latino majority.[8] Besides, compared to the rest of Nevada, the population of District 2 is younger with over 65% of its inhabitants below the age of 40. The median household income is over $20,000 lower, and 45% of the people over 25 don't have a high school diploma. The poverty rate is with almost 35% over twice as high as in the rest of Nevada.[9] Elections2014In the election on November 4, 2014, voters could choose between Democrat Mo Denis and Louis Baker, who was a member of the Independent American Party.[10] No Republicans filed for the office, and since no other Democrat or Independent American did, no primary was held.[11] Baker was a contractor, auctioneer, and inventor.[12] Denis was the incumbent, and he served as the Senate Majority Leader. Denis won with over three quarters of the votes. He won with the highest margin of all races for the Nevada Senate in 2014 (excluding unopposed races).[13] Denis did not seek for re-election as senate leader of the Democrats after he was re-elected.[14] In the 2017 session, he was the President pro Tempore.[15] {{Election box begin|title=Nevada elections, 2014: Senate District 2[16] }}{{Election box candidate with party link |candidate=Mo Denis (Incumbent) |change=– |party=Democratic Party (United States) |percentage=76.37 |votes=5,683 }}{{Election box candidate with party link |candidate=Louis Baker |change=– |party=Independent American Party of Nevada |percentage=23.63 |votes=1,758 }}{{Election box majority |change=– |percentage=52.74 |votes=3,925 }}{{Election box turnout |change=– |percentage= |votes=7,441 }}{{Election box hold with party link no swing |loser=Independent American Party of Nevada |winner=Democratic Party (United States) }}{{Election box end}} References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Division/Research/Districts/Reapp/2011/FinalPlans.cfm|title=Final District Plans: Congressional, Legislative, and Board of Regents|date=7 June 2012|website=Nevada Legislature|access-date=25 November 2016}} 2. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.leg.state.nv.us/nrs/NRS-218B.html|title=CHAPTER 218B - LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS|website=Nevada Legislature|access-date=25 November 2016}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.nvsos.gov/SilverState2010Gen/stateSenate.aspx#AllRace13|title=State Senate|website=Nevada Secretary of State|access-date=25 November 2016}} 4. ^{{Cite web |url =https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Legislator/A/Senate/77th2013/ |title =77th (2013) Session |website =Nevada Legislature |access-date =25 November 2016 }} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Division/Research/Districts/Reapp/2001/Maps/Sencl2.jpg|title=Nevada State Senate Clark County Senatorial District 2|website=Nevada Legislature|format=JPG|access-date=25 November 2016}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Division/Research/Districts/Reapp/2011/Final/Senate/District2011_Areal_Stats_Sen.pdf|title=Nevada State Senate - 2011 Districts: State of Nevada Area Analysis Report|format=PDF|access-date =25 November 2016|website=Nevada Legislature}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://mapserve1.leg.state.nv.us/whoRU/|title=What's My District Interactive Map|website=Nevada Legislature|access-date=25 November 2016}} 8. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Division/Research/Districts/Reapp/2011/Final/Senate/SEN2011_Tables.pdf|title=Nevada State Senate - 2011 Districts: State of Nevada Population Report|website=Nevada Legislature|format=PDF|access-date=25 November 2016}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.leg.state.nv.us/Division/Research/Districts/79th2017/Profiles/SEN2017Profile_District2.pdf|title=Demographic Profile of Nevada Senate District No. 2 of the 78th Session (2015)|date=May 2015|website=Nevada Legislature|format=PDF|access-date=25 November 2016|author=Research Division of the Legislative Counsel Bureau}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.reviewjournal.com/2014-election-races|title=2014 Election Races|website=Las Vegas Review-Journal|access-date=25 November 2016}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.nvsos.gov/silverstate2014pri/NVSenate/|title=Nevada State Senate|date=15 July 2014|website=Nevada Secretary of State|access-date=25 November 2016}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.reviewjournal.com/voter-guide/candidates/louis-j-baker|title=Louis J.
