Carrie A. Buck (born July 19, 1971) is an American educator and politician currently serving as a Republican member of the Nevada Senate. She represents the 5th district, which covers parts of Henderson and Paradise to the south of Las Vegas in Clark County.
By narrowly defeating Democratic opponent Kristee Watson, Buck became the only candidate to flip a State Senate seat from Democratic to Republican in the 2020 Nevada State Senate elections.[2] As a state senator, Buck has proposed a bill that would have offered up to $10 million in tax credits for charter school donors to better fund facilities at Title I public charter schools.[3]
