Monica Jaye Stabbert

Monica Jaye Stabbert, also known as Jaye, is a Republican candidate seeking election to the Nevada State Senate for District 16 in the 2026 primary election. She previously contested this seat in 2022, losing the primary, and withdrew from the 2026 U.S. House Republican primary for Nevada's 2nd Congressional District. Stabbert contributed over $100,000 to her 2022 State Senate campaign. Her policy priorities focus on protecting essential services—education, public safety, and healthcare—and promoting responsible governance by eliminating duplicative programs and administrative inefficiencies. She advocates that every dollar should serve Nevada families, not bureaucracy. She is challenging the incumbent in the Republican primary for the district covering Carson City, Storey County, Washoe Valley, and parts of south Reno.
