Flores announced the decision Friday, praising Scheible as “a proven leader, a dedicated public servant, and a fierce advocate for working families.”

“I am excited to work closely with her in leadership as we fight every day to deliver results, protect our progress, and build a brighter future for all Nevadans,” Flores said in a statement.

Scheible, a Democrat who represents Senate District 9 in Las Vegas, is a former deputy district attorney in Clark County. In her new role, she will help shape the caucus’s legislative priorities and strategy.

“It is my distinct honor to serve as the next Assistant Majority Leader,” Scheible said. “The Senate Democratic Caucus brings incredible experience and a deep understanding of the challenges facing communities across Nevada. We are excited to return to Carson City with a renewed commitment to lowering costs, expanding economic opportunities, and improving the quality of life for Nevadans. I look forward to working alongside Leader Flores and my colleagues to turn that experience into meaningful results for the Silver State.”

The appointment comes as the Senate Democratic Caucus continues to finalize its leadership team, legislative framework, and committee assignments in the coming weeks. The moves signal the caucus’s preparations for the upcoming session, where Democrats are expected to push an agenda focused on economic relief and opportunity.

Scheible’s elevation to the leadership team underscores her growing influence within the caucus and her role in advancing the party’s priorities in the Legislature.
