Nevada's 4th congressional district is acongressional district that was created as a result of the2010 United States census.[3] Located in the central portion of the state, it includes most of northernClark County, southernLyon County, most ofLincoln County, a sliver ofChurchill County and all ofEsmeralda,Mineral, andNye counties.
Although the district appears rural, over 80% of its population lives in the heavily Democratic northern portion of Clark County. As a result, the district leans Democratic.
The district has flipped between Democratic and Republican representation since it was created.DemocratSteven Horsford won the election for this seat in the2012 House elections. He was seated for the 113th U.S. Congress in 2013 as the district's first congressman, serving just one term before he was defeated by RepublicanCresent Hardy in November 2014. In turn, Hardy lost to DemocratRuben Kihuen in 2016. Kihuen did not run for reelection in 2018, and the seat was won by Horsford in a rematch against Hardy.
