The Nevada Democratic Party on Thursday called for the re-implementation of a statewide mask mandate.
Party chair Judith Whitmer urged leaders across the state to issue a "full public mask mandate in order to fully protect Nevadans" in a Thursday afternoon statement. The move came days after county officials in the Las Vegas area passed a mandate requiring all employees to wear masks while working indoors, which Whitmer deemed to be inadequate.
