Bilbray-Axelrod to run for Clark County Commission seat
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Democratic Assemblywoman Shannon Bilbray-Axelrod announced Tuesday she will seek the District C seat on the Clark County Commission.
The announcement sets up a battle between Bilbray-Axelrod and Republican April Becker. Commissioner Ross Miller said in December he is not running for re-election in the district that covers the west and northwest valley and extends through downtown to the east Las Vegas valley.
“It’s been the honor of my life serving in the Legislature, but I’ve seen first-hand that the old adage is true; all politics is local,” Bilbray-Axelrod said. “I am energized to bring my work ethic and desire to build consensus to the County Commission.”
She is the daughter of former U.S. Congressman Jim Bilbray, and she chaired the Assembly Education Committee in the 2023 Nevada Legislature.
“My family’s roots run deep in this city, and no one is more devoted to the people of District C than me,” Bilbray-Axelrod said. “I will stand up for the residents and I have and a real plan to protect neighborhoods and improve lives.”
Miller squeaked by Republican Stavros Anthony in the 2020 election, and Becker announced her candidacy in May 2023.
Bilbray-Axelrod, 50, is a business consultant with a record of community service that dates back two decades.
