With primaries for municipal elections only a few weeks away, early voting starts this week for city council and mayoral races in North Las Vegas, Henderson and Las Vegas.
A slew of candidates in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson are starting to get political in advance of this summer’s municipal elections. The field is set for two mayoral races and several city council races after the deadline for candidates to withdraw passed earlier this week.
Two Henderson City Council incumbents won re-election in Tuesday’s primary, but there will be a runoff for the Ward 4 seat between Planning Commission Chairman Sam Bateman and former police chief Mike Mayberry.
For the past five years, Las Vegas Councilman Steve Ross was one of Mayor Oscar Goodman’s loyal foot soldiers — a consistent vote in support of the mayor’s agenda.

Henderson City Council members Andy Hafen and Steve Kirk are spending record-breaking amounts of money in their quest to become Henderson’s next mayor, shelling out a combined total of nearly $800,000 thus far.
After a few minutes of discussion about eliminating cost-of-living raises for city supervisors and executives, Henderson Mayor James B. Gibson called for a vote.
As Henderson’s longest serving mayor, James Gibson is going to miss the job he never thought he wanted. But as he looks out his window at City Hall, he is excited to have more time to spend with his family, especially his growing brood of grandchildren.
Staff recommendations, wasteful contracts, business license fees, employee salaries, parks and recreation. That's where Henderson mayoral candidates Amanda Cyphers, Steve Kirk, Mike Mayberry, Andy Hafen and Richard Sipan, respectively, said they'd look for the fat should further budget cuts be needed at the city.
When Henderson voters begin heading to the polls March 21 for early voting, they'll see something the city hasn't seen since 1993 — a list of mayoral candidates that doesn't include James B. Gibson.
