LAS VEGAS (AP) — U.S. Rep. Dina Titus will face Dr. Annette Teijeiro in November after each candidate won their party's 1st District primary on Tuesday.
Titus sailed past a little-known Democratic Herbert Glenn Peters, who's lost several congressional races in Nevada and California.
Teijeiro defeated lawyer Jose Padilla in a competitive race.
Teijeiro faces a tough challenge in the general election.
Democrats have a 2-to-1 registration advantage, and the only Republican to ever hold the seat was former U.S. Rep. and Sen. John Ensign.
