Kimi Cole, the Chair of the Nevada Rural Democratic Caucus was the first Democratic candidate to announce their candidacy on November 12, 2021.[4] She gained attention by some due to the fact that she's transgender, and, if elected, would be the first statewide elected transgender official in the United States. Henderson mayor Debra March would announce her candidacy a few weeks later, on November 24, 2021, being the only one to have been elected to public office.[5]Lisa Cano Burkhead, the appointed Lieutenant Governor, announced her candidacy on December 16, 2021.[6] By the end of the year, March led with a sizable lead in terms of fundraising, raising over 380,000 USD by the end of 2021, with Burkhead in second at nearly 78,000 USD by the end of the year, and Cole in a distant third at just under 34,000 USD[7]
