Term limit rulings block candidates
Some veteran public officials seeking reelection have been blocked from serving new terms because the state Supreme Court has upheld term limits, in a ruling delivered just one day before the start of Nevada’s early voting.
A pair of rulings Friday means no votes can be counted for 21 incumbents in local or state government service who have hit a voter-mandated limit of 12 years of service.
They include 27-year veteran Clark County Commissioner Bruce Woodbury, who has spent more than $200,000 in his bid for reelection.
