4 of 7 Clark County Commission seats up for grabs in November
Four of seven Clark County Commission seats are up for grabs in November.
Commissioners Michael Naft, William McCurdy II and Marilyn Kirkpatrick are seeking re-election. Commissioner Ross Miller is leaving his position, creating an open contest for his seat.
Clark County, which serves more than 2.4 million Southern Nevada residents, is the 11th largest county in the United States. The general election threatens to shake up the all-Democratic composure of the board.
Voters haven’t elected a Republican to the commission since 2008.
The county is facing growth paired with a critical shortage of affordable housing units. Meanwhile, a daylong census earlier this year showed 20 percent year-over-year increases in the homeless population, which included sheltered and unsheltered people, the highest figure in a decade.
