Terry Care Rejoins McDonald Carano
McDonald Carano proudly announces Terry Care rejoined our firm in 2025 as Senior Counsel in our Government Affairs & Advocacy Group. As a government affairs advocate, he has represented Nevada-based and national entities and organizations before the state legislature, as well as local government bodies. Terry returned to McDonald Carano after retiring as a Partner in 2014. Terry chaired our statewide team of lobbyists and government affairs professionals from 2010-2014. Terry has also served Nevada as an elected state senator representing Clark County (1998-2010), and later as a district representative and district director for Congresswoman Dina Titus (2018-2021).
Prior to changing careers, Terry was a prominent print and broadcast journalist, culminating in his tenure as news director for KTNV-TV, the Las Vegas ABC affiliate where he supervised a newsroom of more than 20 members. Terry also served as a First Lieutenant in the United States Army and is a decorated U.S. Army Ranger.
During his three senate terms, Terry served on the judiciary, government affairs, taxation, and transportation committees. His numerous leadership positions included serving as assistant majority leader during the 2009 session, chair of the senate judiciary committee, vice-chair of the senate committee on government affairs, and vice-chair of the senate committee on taxation. Term limits prevented Terry from re-election in 2010. Terry was inducted into the Nevada Senate Hall of Fame in 2015.
Terry has been a commissioner on the Uniform Law Commission representing Nevada since 1999. The ULC provides states with non-partisan legislation that brings clarity and stability to critical areas of state statutory law.
