'A lot more to be done:' Commissioner Naft faces challenger concerned about county's direction
Concerned that no one had stepped up to challenge Commissioner Michael Naft in his re-election bid, Republican Ryan Hamilton was decided to do it himself.
“It wasn’t acceptable to me that all of these metrics in the valley were heading in the wrong way, and he was just gonna get right back into office,” said Hamilton.
Four of the seven all-Democratic commission seats are up for grabs when county residents cast their ballots in November.
Naft represents District A — which includes the south Strip and booming unincorporated Enterprise — since 2019 when he was appointed to the seat. He won re-election in 2020 and is part of the commission that steered the county through the pandemic.
Hamilton holds political science and journalism degrees, served as managing editor for the Minority Business Entrepreneur magazine, and he worked as a business analyst for Vegas Chamber. He also worked at Vegas Stronger, a nonprofit focused on homelessness issues.
