Assemblyman Dr. Gregory Koenig (R-Fallon) has announced that he will be seeking re-election
to the Nevada Assembly for District 38 covering Churchill, Esmeralda, parts of Lyon, Mineral,
and parts of Nye Counties.
Koenig was first elected to the Nevada Legislature in 2022 representing AD38 during the 2023
and 2025 Legislative Sessions as well as during the 34th and 35th Special Sessions of the
Nevada Legislature. Koenig has served on the Education, Government Affairs, Health & Human
Services Committees, and Ways & Means Committees. In 2025, he was Assembly Republican
Caucus’ Deputy Leader from Northern Nevada.
During the 83rd legislative session, Koenig passed bi-partisan legislation such as AB 193, which
significantly aids victims of crime by requiring law enforcement agencies to furnish a free copy
of all reports concerning domestic violence upon written request. He also championed several
bills to improve health care and support local businesses: AB 326 strengthens oversight of
trauma care centers by ensuring they are officially designated for the level of care they provide;
AB 183 modernizes the practice of optometry by updating licensure, disciplinary procedures, and
clarifying the inclusion of optometric telemedicine; and AB 448 establishes requirements related
to vision insurance, prohibiting certain unfair trade practices and protecting providers of vision
care. Additionally, AB 251 supports the agricultural community by updating food inspection
rules for custom processing establishments and mobile processing units, enabling them to
slaughter certain animals on a commercial basis for intrastate and interstate commerce.
“It has been an incredible honor to represent the people of Assembly District 38,” Koenig said.
“Before serving in the Nevada Legislature, I spent nearly two decades in local government—an
experience that taught me the value of collaboration and community over partisanship.
Unfortunately, that spirit of cooperation is often missing in Carson City as national politics
increasingly influence state decision-making. Throughout my time in the Assembly, I’ve tried to
bring that local-government approach—focusing on results, not rhetoric. Governor Lombardo’s
first term has helped restore balance in Nevada, but our work isn’t done. We need more
Republicans elected at every level of government, and that starts with all of us working together
and remembering to vote all the way down the ballot in every election.”
Koenig has spent most of his life in Nevada. He was born out of state while his father was
fighting in Vietnam but returned at the age of five. He received his K-12 education in Fallon and
did part of his undergraduate work at the University of Nevada. He later attended Pacific
University College of Optometry and returned to Fallon to start his own practice upon
graduation. Koenig now has practices in Dayton, Fallon, Fernley, and Yerington.
Koenig and his wife Terra have been married for 35 years. They have three children and nine
grandchildren. Koenig is an active member of his church and enjoys playing basketball, golf,
painting, traveling, and spending time with his family.
