City Council Confirms Trent deBraga as New City Attorney

City Council Confirms Trent deBraga as New City Attorney

In a full-circle moment of local pride, the Fallon City Council voted to confirm Trent deBraga as the new City Attorney during its regular meeting Tuesday evening—marking not only a career milestone for deBraga but continuing a legacy of public service that spans three generations in the Churchill County community.

Trent, a fifth-generation Nevadan and Fallon native, was surrounded by his family as the Council considered Mayor Ken Tedford’s recommendation. Among those in attendance was Trent’s grandfather, Ted deBraga, longtime former President of the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District and a well-respected leader in the community. It was a moment of significance not just for Trent, but for a family that has served Fallon for over a century.

“It’s a proud day for Fallon,” said Mayor Tedford. “Trent has dedicated himself to this city through his work as Deputy City Attorney and has the knowledge, professionalism, and community heart we want in this role.”

After graduating from Churchill County High School, Trent went on to play college football at Colorado Mesa University, where he earned his degree with a focus on criminal justice and law. He later completed his law degree at the William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV in 2016. Following two years in private practice in Las Vegas, he returned home to Fallon and joined the City Attorney’s office in 2018 as Deputy City Attorney.

Since then, Trent has built a reputation for integrity, steady leadership, and deep roots in the community he serves.

He and his wife, Courtney—his high school sweetheart—are raising their four children, Brighton, Teagan, Daxson, and Titus, in Fallon. He’s actively involved in youth sports as a coach for local wrestling and baseball teams and serves on the school board at Veritas Preparatory School. He also lends his time as an assistant coach for the Greenwave Varsity Football team.

The Council voted unanimously to confirm the appointment and also approved the salary for the position at $142,264 per year, based on job duties, responsibilities, and experience.

“Trent has earned the trust of our team and the community over the past several years,” said Councilwoman Kelly Frost. “He’s a hometown professional with deep knowledge of municipal law, and we’re proud to have him serve as our City Attorney.”

As he took his seat among City leadership, flanked by his wife and children, and with his grandfather looking on, the moment underscored more than a new role—it reflected Fallon’s deep tradition of homegrown leadership.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
