Larry Brown

LAS VEGAS-Filing began this morning for non-judicial candidates in the Silver State, officially kicking off the election season.  Check back regularly throughout the day with PolitickerNV.com for a list of filed candidates.

Filed thus far:

Assemblywoman Valerie Weber (R-Clark)Assemblywoman Valerie Weber (R-Clark 5) is in no mood to give up her campaign to replace Chip Maxfield as Clark County Commissioner for District C, despite her opponent’s six-to-one fundraising advantage.

“There are special interest lobbyists that are trying to buy another seat on the commission,” said Weber Friday.  “To me, this race is about listening to the voters and being a public servant.”

So far, Weber and Las Vegas Councilman Larry Brown are the only two declared candidates for the seat, and Brown’s fundraising to date points to a repeat of the 1996 gubernatorial election immortalized by Jon Ralston in his book “The Anointed One.”
