Candidates for Local Offices

Candidates for Local Offices

Candidate filing closed last Friday, and in some races, the election has been decided.

Assemblyman Greg Koenig (R-AD38) did not draw an opponent and will coast into the 2025 Legislature unopposed. Assembly District 38 includes Fernley, Fallon, Hawthorne, Yerington, and parts of Tonopah. Voter registration is 45% Republican, 14% Democrat, 34% Nonpartisan, and the remaining 7% identifying in other parties.

Koenig will now be free to help with the issue of Governor Lombardo’s veto power – Democrats currently hold a supermajority in the Assembly and are one seat short of the 14 seats needed for a supermajority in the Senate. Should the Democrats maintain their hold in the Assembly and gain the Senate supermajority, they will effectively veto-proof their ability to pass legislation.

Back in Churchill County, the Churchill County School Board of Trustees has also been decided, with only three candidates filing to fill three seats. Incumbents Gregg Malkovich and Kathryn Whitaker both filed, along with newcomer Wendy Bullock. Trustee Tricia Strasdin did not file for re-election.

In the City of Fallon, Councilwoman Karla Kent is unopposed and will not have to campaign to retain her seat. 

While some candidates can breathe a sigh of relief and breeze through election season, the Justice of the Peace race sees three candidates, Brenda Ingram and Stuart Richarson, on the ballot facing sitting Judge Ben Trotter for that six-year term.   

In County Commission District 1, sitting school board members Matt Hyde and Julie Guerrero-Goetsch will face off in the seat held by Justin Heath. In District 3 there are four candidates working to replace Bus Scharmann: Eric Blakey, John Caetano, Rusty Jardine, and Todd Moretto.

Two candidates have filed to challenge City of Fallon Mayor Ken Tedford, Luai Ababneh, and Jacob James Robertson.

The Mosquito, Vector & Noxious Weed Abatement Board will see three candidates vying for two seats: David Brown, Marion Jonte, and Cynthia McGarrah, who have all filed for those positions. 

The Primary Election will be held on June 11, 2024, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Fallon Convention Center and the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe Community Learning Center. Early Voting will begin May 25 and run through June 7. It will take place at the County Commission Chambers, 155 N. Taylor Street, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays, May 25 and June 1. 

All things election can be accessed at the County Clerk’s office, 155 N. Taylor, or by visiting the website at churchillcountynv.gov/115/Elections. The phone number is 775-423-6028.
