NV-GOV: Reno mayor endorses Sisolak for governor
Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve endorsed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Steve Sisolak for governor on Saturday.
Sisolak, who is better known in the South as a Clark County Commission chairman, is running against GOP Attorney General Adam Laxalt. Schieve, an independent who is running for a second term and is heavily favored for re-election, had declined to endorse in the race for several months.
But she said she ultimately made the decision, announced after a Latino roundtable with Sisolak during which she said “it’s important to support someone who understands counties and cities.”
Laxalt and Schieve had a public disagreement late last year over whether a city of Reno lawsuit targeting opioid manufacturers would undercut efforts in the attorney general’s office. Schieve accused Laxalt of pitting “Nevadans against Nevadans” by requesting the city not file a lawsuit.
In August, Schieve appeared close to endorsing Sisolak at an event touting potential sites for a Raiders training facility, applauding Sisolak’s work in local government and calling him a friend.
