Barbara Katherine Cegavske (née Jewson; born August 27, 1951) is an American businesswoman and politician, who is the former Secretary of State of Nevada from 2015 to 2023. She was a Republican member of the Nevada Senate, representing Clark County District 8 (map) from 2002 to 2014. Previously, she served in the Nevada Assembly from 1996 to 2001. According to her legislative biography, she was educated at Mayo High School in Rochester, Minnesota, and at Clark County Community College (now known as the College of Southern Nevada) in Las Vegas.[1] With her husband, Tim, she was a 7-11 convenience store franchisee for thirteen years before seeking political office.[2]

Cegavske is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), serving as Nevada state leader in 2012.[3]

Cegavske successfully ran for the office of Secretary of State of Nevada in 2014, defeating Democratic state treasurer Kate Marshall. Cegavske supports voter ID laws and opposes same-day voter registration.[4] She was reelected in 2018, very narrowly defeating Democrat Nelson Araujo. With the defeat of several fellow Republicans in that election, Cegavske became the only member of her party holding statewide elected office in Nevada.

After Joe Biden won the 2020 election and Donald Trump lost while refusing to concede, Cegavske was censured by the Nevada Republican Party for not having conducted an investigation into allegations of fraud and for "dismissive public statements regarding election integrity concerns."[5] However, her office subsequently conducted a detailed investigation of the fraud claims, logging over 125 hours of staff time. On Wednesday, April 21 she announced to the Nevada GOP that she found no evidence to support the claims after of having reviewed 122,918 records supplied by the state GOP. [6]
