Victoria Seaman, a Las Vegas City Councilwoman representing Ward 2, has resigned after six years in office to accept a federal appointment as regional director for the Department of Health and Human Services in Denver. Her departure also ends her potential candidacy for the Clark County Commission seat, which would have challenged incumbent Commissioner Justin Jones. The Las Vegas City Council has 30 days to decide whether to appoint a temporary replacement or hold a special election, with a decision expected at the September 3 council meeting. Separately, Dena Schmidt, head of Nevada's public health agency, resigned last week citing a toxic work environment under DHS Director Richard Whitley, alleging intimidation and abusive behavior. In Henderson, tensions between police unions and city leadership have escalated, with the Henderson Police Officers Association and Henderson Police Supervisors Association filing complaints against the city with the Nevada Government Employee-Management Relations Board. The unions accuse the city of fostering division between them, which they argue could negatively impact community safety. Additionally, the president of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association has announced plans to run for city council in the upcoming year, and Henderson's police chief has communicated details of a post-mediation contract offer to police union leadership.
