Las Vegas, NV — (8/26/26) The LIBRE Initiative Action and its sister organization Americans for Prosperity Action today endorsed four candidates for the Nevada State Legislature that are ready to deliver results for working families, small business owners, and taxpayers.  

From Las Vegas to Reno, Nevada families are absorbing some of the steepest housing and utility increases in the country — a squeeze felt especially hard in Latino households — while small business owners navigate a tax and regulatory environment that too often works against them. LIBRE Action’s and AFP Action’s endorsed candidates have pledged to change that by championing policies that make it easier to launch and grow a business, put more money back in workers’ pockets, and give parents the power to choose the education that fits their children best. 

Endorsed candidates for the 2026 election include: 

State Senate 

• Maria Thompson (Senate District 9) 

• Rafael Arroyo-Montalvo (Senate District 12) 

State Assembly 

• Rebecca Edgeworth (Assembly District 35) 

• Kelly Chapman (Assembly District 41) 

Eddie Diaz, Nevada Advisor for LIBRE Action, released the following statement: 

“Hispanic families across Nevada are working harder than ever just to keep up, and they deserve elected officials who are actually fighting for them in Carson City. Thompson, Arroyo-Montalvo, Edgeworth, and Chapman have shown they’ll put working families first — pushing for lower costs, better schools, and a fair shot for every small business owner chasing the American Dream. LIBRE Action is proud to stand with them, and we’ll be in Latino communities every day between now and November making sure our voters know who is on their side.” 

Ronnie Najarro, Senior Advisor for AFP Action Nevada, released the following statement: 

“Nevada families don’t need more from Carson City — they need Carson City to stop getting in their way. These four candidates get that. AFP Action is proud to stand with LIBRE Action behind them, and our activists will be working every day between now and November to put them over the top.” 

These endorsements land in districts anchored in some of Nevada’s largest and fastest-growing Latino communities — including Clark County, home to the vast majority of the state’s roughly 1 million Hispanic residents. Statewide, Hispanics account for around 30% of Nevada’s population — one of the highest shares in the nation — making Latino voters a decisive force in the state. 

The LIBRE Initiative Action and Americans for Prosperity Action will mobilize their grassroots network of volunteers across the state to engage voters ahead of the November election through door-knocking, community events, and voter education on the policies that will lower the cost of living and expand opportunity for every Nevada family.
