Victoria Seaman announced Thursday that she will be running for Nevada Senate District 6 in 2016. Seaman is currently the Assemblywoman for District 34 in Las Vegas.
“My passion is working for my district because I know what it means to be a parent, business owner and taxpayer,” Seaman said. “I made promises to my constituents as a candidate when elected to the assembly, and I kept my promises through my votes in the legislature. I was instrumental in enacting many great reforms during the last legislature, and I look forward to continuing to work for Nevadans in the state senate.”
Seaman was elected to the Nevada Assembly in 2014 as a result of her extensive grassroots campaign and overwhelming bipartisan support. The representatives for both Senate 6 and Assembly 37 were appointed to open seats after the 2014 election and will be on the ballot for the first time next year.
During the legislative session, Seaman sponsored legislation that was brought to her by community members to address election law reforms, reduce overregulation of the salon industry and increase the tools available to homeowners and law enforcement in regards to squatting. Seaman also worked to pass legislation to protect our seniors by requiring the licensing of professional guardians and require animals that have been used for testing to be put up for adoption.
“I have received countless messages from our community urging me to run for senate because they appreciate my strong involvement in Senate District 6, which includes Assembly Districts 34 and 37,” Seaman said. “Nevadans deserve their choice of a representative who will make sure their voices are heard in the Nevada legislature.”
If elected Seaman will be the first Latina Republican elected to the Nevada Senate.
