Four challengers seeking to oust Henderson mayor (R)
Henderson’s former police chief, a former real estate executive from California, a local salesman, and an interior designer are hoping to extend the race for Henderson mayor into the general election. Mayor Michelle Romero won the 2023 contest outright in the primary with 75% of the vote. She faced two opponents in that race.
A candidate who receives a majority of the vote in nonpartisan primary races wins the election outright.
Romero has presided over a four-to-one voting bloc on the council with Councilwoman Carrie Cox the odd woman out. Cox, who is also up for re-election, was censured by the council and faces felony charges for spying on Councilwoman Monica Larson and a constituent. She denies any wrongdoing.
Romero, via her campaign manager Liz Trosper, declined to speak with the Current.
