Assemblyman Dr. Gregory Koenig (R-Fallon) announced today 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.
Assemblyman 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. Dr. Koenig has served on the Education, Government Affairs, Health & Human Services Committees, and Ways & Means Committees. In 2025, Dr. Koenig was Assembly Republican Caucus’ Deputy Leader from Northern Nevada.
During the 83rd legislative session, Assemblyman Koenig has 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,” said Assemblyman Gregory Koenig. “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.”
Assemblyman 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. Dr. Koenig now has practices in Dayton, Fallon, Fernley, and Yerington.
Dr. Gregory Koenig and his wife Terra have been married for 35 years. They have three children and nine grandchildren. Gregory is active member of his church and enjoys playing basketball, golf, painting, traveling, and spending time with his family.
