The Clark County Board of County Commissioners, commonly referred to as the Clark County Commission, is the legislative body of Clark County in the U.S. state of Nevada. Established in 1909, the commission consists of seven members elected by district to four-year terms on a partisan basis. Although technically a legislative body, it exercises some executive powers and serves as the municipal government for unincorporated Clark County residents, estimated by the county as being 1,073,926 people.[1][2]
In April 1973, the Nevada Legislature passed legislation which merged the offices of the Clark County sheriff with those of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), creating a new combined county-city unified law enforcement agency. Under the provisions of the law, the Clark County sheriff, an elected position, serves as the head of LVMPD while the chief of police severs as the Clark County undersheriff.[6]
In 2015, the Nevada Legislature granted counties in Nevada the equivalent of home rule. Previously, counties could only exercise power in the ways explicitly outlined by the state. As a result, the Clark County Commission has roughly the same powers as a home rule municipality and is no longer required to have a specific power granted to it by the state, so long as it does not infringe upon federal or state jurisdiction.[7]
Michael Naft, a Democrat, represents District A, which interesects the center through southeast part of the Las Vegas Valley and includes part of the city of Las Vegas and West Henderson, as well as the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip. Prior to his appointment to the commission in 2019 by Governor Steve Sisolak, Naft served as district director for Congresswoman Dina Titus.[8]
In the 2024 general election, Naft was re-elected to a second full term, defeating Republican challenger Ryan Hamilton with 51.0% of the vote.[9]
