Nevada Senate, District 2
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 Surnise Manor in Clark County. Its inhabitants are represented in the Nevada Senate by Democrat Mo Denis since the district's creation in 2012.
The present second senatorial district came into existence when the senatorial districts were reapportioned after the 2010 Census. 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.
The first elections in the district were held in 2014, and were won by Mo Denis. 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. During the 2013 session, he was the Senate Majority Leader. When Denis was elected in 2010, the second district didn't include Downtown Las Vegas.
The second senatorial district has a surface area of 15.9 square miles (41 km2), which makes it the smallest senatorial district in Nevada. The perimeter amounts to 22.4 miles (36.0 km). The area of District 2 exactly matches that of Assembly districts 11 and 28. 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.
