From Fox News: Carrie Buck, a Nevada state senator, mother and former school principal, is gaining massive momentum in a critical race to oust Democratic Rep. Dina Titus from what the GOP considers a top target seat in the upcoming midterm elections.
Titus’ district, Nevada Congressional District 1, has been trending hard towards the GOP for the last several election cycles. Now, with the future of the party’s House majority on the line, and the remainder of President Donald Trump’s tenure with it, Buck believes she is just the political outsider Republicans need to seal the deal.
Since announcing her candidacy in August, Buck has garnered impressive fundraising numbers. She was the only Republican to outraise a Democratic incumbent without self-funding. In the last quarter of 2025, Buck outraised Titus, $352,400 to $298,800. Buck also prides herself on running a “truly grassroots” campaign in which she has raised a total of $497,929.59 from 7,852 unique donors, with an average contribution of just $59.
The wife of a retired police chief, mother of four sons, two of whom have served in the U.S. Army, Buck credits her grassroots appeal to simply being an “everyday person.”
The report explains that, prior to entering politics, Buck was the principal of a low-income elementary school for 8 years, and transformed it from being on the edge of failure with reading and math proficiency at around 35% each, to earning an award for turning it around and increasing the reading and math proficiency rates to 83 and 90%.
Below is an interview with Buck, as she spoke to Fox News Digital:
Buck announced her campaign for U.S. Congress in August of last year:
Today, I’m proud to announce my campaign for Congress. As a teacher, charter school leader, and conservative State Senator, I’ve fought to turn around failing schools, empower parents, and bring real accountability to government.
I’m ready to bring the same to Washington,… pic.twitter.com/aIEBfQmAZM

Meanwhile, Dina Titus, 75, the Democrat incumbent who Buck is hoping to defeat, is opposed to the SAVE Act, a bill that would require all voters to be show voter ID and proof of U.S. citizenship.
“I am a strong NO on the SAVE America Act which rolls back decades of critical voting rights protections. Many people, including some married women and seniors, will be disenfranchised because of onerous identification requirements. This bill isn’t “saving” anyone. It’s a Republican trick,” claimed Titus in a post on X Wednesday.

Titus is also touting that she has the “third most effective House Democrat.”
