Endorsement Adds Major Momentum to Million-Dollar Campaign
Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill just threw his badge behind Albert Mack in the race for County Commission District F. This endorsement could shake up what’s already becoming one of the most watched local races of 2026.
McMahill said in his endorsement:
“I have gotten to know Albert Mack as a successful businessman, philanthropist, and community leader. His support for our brave law enforcement officers, as well as their families, is steadfast and unwavering.
Albert will make an outstanding addition to our county commission. His bold, forward-thinking ideas along with his commitment to public safety and law order are unmatched.”
Why This Matters to Conservatives
This isn’t just another political endorsement. Sheriff McMahill leads the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the agency that protects over 2.4 million Southern Nevada residents. When the top cop in Clark County backs someone, people pay attention.
McMahill knows what it takes to fight crime. Since taking office in 2023, he’s overseen a 35 percent drop in homicides. Crime is down across the board under his watch. Now he’s telling voters that Mack is the right person to support law enforcement from the county commission.
For conservatives who believe in backing the blue and keeping neighborhoods safe, this endorsement sends a clear message. McMahill is saying Mack will fight for the resources police need to do their jobs.
Mack’s Million-Dollar Start
Remember that stunning announcement last week? Mack raised a record-breaking $1 million in his first month of campaigning. He matched $500,000 in donor contributions with his own money. Over 100 people opened their wallets to support him in just 30 days.
That kind of fundraising shows serious momentum. It’s the biggest first-month haul ever for a challenger in this race. When you combine that war chest with McMahill’s endorsement, Mack looks like a force to be reckoned with.
“Sheriff McMahill has dedicated his life to protecting our community, and I’m honored to have his trust and support,” Mack said after getting the endorsement.
“Our county deserves leadership that prioritizes public safety, respects our law enforcement professionals, and ensures our neighborhoods remain safe for families.”
The Race Takes Shape
District F covers the southwest part of Las Vegas valley. It includes neighborhoods like Mountain’s Edge and Southern Highlands. About 243,000 registered voters live there.
The current commissioner, Democrat Justin Jones, isn’t running again. He got in hot water last year when a judge sanctioned him for deleting text messages in a lawsuit. That scandal cost taxpayers $80 million in a settlement with developers.
Mack faces Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama in the Republican primary. Kasama has represented Assembly District 2 since 2020. She’s been talking about fiscal responsibility and government accountability.
There’s also former state senator Becky Harris, who just ditched the Republican Party to run as a non-partisan. That means she automatically makes the general election ballot without going through a primary.
Democrats haven’t named their candidate yet. Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager might jump in, but he hasn’t announced anything official.
Looking Ahead
The primary election is still months away. A lot can change between now and then. But McMahill’s endorsement gives Mack a huge boost heading into the race.
Conservatives who care about public safety, lower taxes, and government accountability should watch this race closely. Consider getting involved. Volunteer for the candidate who shares your values. Make sure you’re registered to vote. Talk to your neighbors about what’s at stake.
The county commission controls a massive budget. They decide how your tax dollars get spent. They set policies that affect your daily life. Don’t sit this one out.
