Nevada’s 4th congressional district is located in the central part of the state, which includes most of northern Clark County and southern Lyon County, most of Lincoln County, a sliver of Churchill County and all of Esmeralda, Mineral, and Nye counties. Over 80% of its population lives in the heavily Democratic northern portion of Clark County, and as a result, the district leans Democratic. In the 2024 race Rep. Horsford was challenged by former mayor of North Las Vegas, John Lee. Rep. Horsford defeated Lee by 8 percentage points (26,865 votes). Rep. Horsford raised $5.4 million and his opponent, Lee, raised $1.6 million. Super PACs, national party committees, and other non-candidate groups together spent over $3 million in this district.
