Laxalt was born in Reno, Nevada, the son of Pete Domenici, a Republican U.S. Senator from New Mexico, and Michelle Laxalt. He is the grandson of former Republican Nevada Governor and U.S. Senator Paul Laxalt. Laxalt's mother raised him as a single parent. Laxalt's parents did not publicly acknowledge his paternity until 2013.[2][3] At that time, Domenici acknowledged that Laxalt was his son and was born as a result of an extramarital affair.[3]
After practicing with Lewis Roca Rothgerber, Laxalt considered a campaign for Nevada Attorney General.[8] In January 2014, he announced his candidacy.[9] Laxalt was the Republican nominee in the general election.[8] After a bitter and costly general election campaign, Laxalt defeated Democratic nominee Ross Miller.[10][11] During the campaign, Laxalt said that he opposed same-sex marriage; in 2010, he said that he opposed LGBT individuals openly serving in the military.[12][13]
In a 2017 speech at the National Rifle Association of America's general convention, Laxalt criticized a red flag bill that the Nevada Senate had passed. Months afterwards in 2018, the NRA called for greater adoption of these laws,[17] he recommended that the legislature consider such a law.[18]
Laxalt signed onto a California lawsuit to support keeping secret the identities of political donors, including one of his biggest political donors, the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, backed by Charles and David Koch.[21] He opposed a multi-state investigation into ExxonMobil's alleged role in downplaying climate change, condemning it as an attempt to stifle an "ongoing public policy debate" over human-caused global warming. Laxalt took legal action to keep fraud investigators from scrutinizing groups connected to the Koch network, which went on to spend $2.5 million to support Laxalt's gubernatorial campaign.[22]
Laxalt created the Office of Military Legal Assistance, which provided free legal services to veterans.[23]
Laxalt was the Republican nominee for governor of Nevada in the 2018 election, defeating four other candidates to win the nomination.[24] He lost to the Democratic nominee, Clark County Commission chair Steve Sisolak, in the general election; Sisolak become the first Democrat to win the governorship in 20 years.[25] Sisolak received 49.39% of the vote to Laxalt's 45.31%.[26]
Asked whether he would propose a referendum to put Nevada's abortion law up for a vote, Laxalt said, "We are going to look into it."[27]
During his 2018 gubernatorial campaign, Laxalt released a health care plan that "reiterated Laxalt's long-standing opposition to Obamacare, but pledged not to roll back Medicaid coverage the law helped extend to more than 200,000 of Nevada's poorest residents."[28]
Laxalt was endorsed by President Donald Trump.[29] Incumbent Republican governor Brian Sandoval did not endorse a candidate in the election to succeed him, saying he would not "support a candidate that is going to undo anything that I put forward."[30] During Sandoval's tenure as governor, he and Laxalt had a frequently tense relationship,[18] with disagreements over tax policy, environmental regulations and gambling regulations.[30]
Laxalt was endorsed by Storey County Sheriff Gerald Antinoro in November 2017.[31] Laxalt faced scrutiny for initially declining to disavow Antinoro's campaign support.[32] A 2016 investigation found that Antinoro had sexually harassed his top deputy.[31] Storey County Administrator Austin Osborne said in a deposition that numerous complaints including sexual harassment allegations were filed against Antinoro.[33] In July 2018, Laxalt released an investigative report into Antinoro and announced that he would not pursue criminal charges.[34] After the investigation concluded, Laxalt announced he would no longer campaign with Antinoro or use his endorsement.[35]
Donald Trump 2020 election campaign
Laxalt co-chaired Donald Trump's 2020 reelection campaign in Nevada.[36] Before Election Day, he unsuccessfully sought to stop Nevada from counting early-voting ballots from Clark County (the state's most populous, Democratic-leaning county, containing Las Vegas).[36]
After Trump lost Nevada to Joe Biden, Laxalt claimed without evidence that large-scale voter fraud had occurred in Nevada and sought to overturn the election results.[37][38][39][40] He and other Trump campaign officials provided no information supporting their claim of fraud.[38] Laxalt presented a list of 3,062 voters he said were non-residents who voted absentee in Clark County. Nevada residents such as military personnel, students, and congressional staffers do not have to live in Nevada to be eligible voters in the state.[41][42] At least 146 of the names on Laxalt's list, which the Trump campaign claimed was evidence of "criminal voter fraud", were linked to military base addresses or diplomatic postal addresses.[42][43]
Laxalt also claimed that 200,000 mail-in ballot votes were verified by machine only and that these machines were unable to match signatures on ballots to those on file; in fact, ballots that could not be assessed by machines were verified by people.[39]
In August 2021, Laxalt announced his candidacy for the 2022 United States Senate election in Nevada, challenging the incumbent, Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto. He announced his candidacy with a video in which he said that "the radical left, rich elites, woke corporations, academia and the media" were "taking over America".[44] The campaign was anticipated to be among the most competitive Senate races in 2022.[45][46]
Laxalt won the Republican primary in June 2022.[47]
On November 12, 2022, major media outlets projected that Cortez Masto had been reelected, guaranteeing the Democrats 50 Senate seats and control of the chamber in the 118th Congress.[48]
Subsequent activities
In April 2023, Laxalt became the chair of the Never Back Down Super PAC, a group supporting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for President in 2024.[49] He stepped down from his role with the PAC in November 2023.[50]
Personal life
In 1997, Laxalt was arrested for driving under the influence. He has acknowledged having a drinking problem in his teens. He received treatment at the Hazelden Foundation and says he has been sober since the age of 19.[51]
Laxalt is married to Jaime, with whom he has four children.[52]
