About Carrie Buck

STATE SENATOR CARRIE BUCK

Restoring the American Dream. Standing Up for Nevada Families.

Now more than ever, Nevada families need a fighter in Washington, D.C., someone with the grit to take on failed career politicians who put politics first and Nevadans last. That fighter is State Senator Carrie Buck.

Carrie was raised on a small farm where her parents instilled in her the values of faith, family, and hard work. From working soybean fields to selling sweet corn door-to-door, Carrie learned that nothing in life is given and everything is earned. Those lessons of perseverance, responsibility, and service shaped her values and have guided her every step as a mother, an educator, and a leader.

Those invaluable life lessons carried her into Nevada classrooms, where Carrie began her career teaching fifth grade in North Las Vegas. As a principal, she took one of Nevada’s lowest-performing schools and turned it into one of the state’s best, with reading and math scores soaring. Her success earned the Milken Educator Award, one of the nation’s highest honors for educators.

Carrie didn’t stop there. She led the growth of Pinecrest Academy charter school, transforming a single underperforming campus into a network of top-rated schools serving thousands of Nevada families. She gave parents choices, students opportunities, and teachers the resources and support they needed to succeed. For Carrie, education has always been about fighting for Nevada’s future.

Throughout her experience in education, Carrie saw firsthand how politicians in Carson City and Washington made decisions that hurt classrooms and families. That frustration pushed her to run for the State Senate, where she flipped a Democrat district and became one of Nevada’s strongest conservative voices. She stood up for parents, law enforcement, and taxpayers against career politicians who were more interested in partisanship than progress.

Now Carrie is ready to fight for Nevada in Congress. Dina Titus has spent decades in office while families face record inflation, soaring crime rates, an open border, and failing schools. Titus had her chance and failed Nevadans.

Carrie and her husband Eric, a retired Deputy Chief of Police, have four sons, including a Green Beret Army Ranger and combat medic, and are both local small business owners. The Buck family lives the values Washington politicians only talk about: service, sacrifice, and love of country.

Carrie Buck has spent her life giving a voice to the voiceless. Now she’s ready to fight for Nevada’s families, restore the American Dream, and help President Trump make Washington work for us again.

Role Summary: State Senator

State senators write and vote on state laws and the state budget, and in most states they also confirm the Governor's appointments. In most states the senate is the smaller of the legislature's two chambers, with larger districts and longer terms than the house.
