Warren last visited Northern Nevada in June, when she held a "community conversation” with supporters in downtown Reno. She also swung through the Biggest Little City for an April organizing event at Wooster High School.

Warren — a former law professor and progressive firebrand  — built her political reputation as an outspoken critic of big banks in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.

She pulled ahead of fellow progressive presidential contender Bernie Sanders, and gained significant ground on front-runner Joe Biden, in the latest Suffolk University/Reno Gazette Journal poll of likely Nevada caucusgoers.
