Las Vegas, Nevada, located in battleground Clark County, is gearing up for a mayoral race that could potentially see a Republican candidate win for the first time in fifty years. The upcoming election will pit Democrat Shelley Berkley against Republican Victoria Seaman, the top two contenders from the June primary.
The city of Las Vegas has not had a Republican mayor since 1975, making this race a significant one for the political landscape of the city. Despite the mayoral position being considered nonpartisan, both candidates are affiliated with political parties.
