The Las Vegas Culinary Union, an affiliate of UNITE HERE and the world’s largest gaming and hospitality union, is optimistic that tourism will rebound in Southern Nevada following strong Democratic gains in the 2026 midterm elections. The Culinary Union campaigned for federal and state Democrats during the 2026 campaign—no surprise, as the Las Vegas union has never endorsed a Republican for president, governor, or even Congress. The 2026 cycle went the union’s way, with Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford (D) defeating Republican incumbent Gov. Joe Lombardo, U.S. Reps.
