Las Vegas, NV, September 29, 2026 —
LAS VEGAS – Two Republican candidates, Luke McCarthy and Shannon Nordstrom, have secured their places in the general election this November, vying for the nonpartisan Las Vegas City Council seat in Ward 2. Both candidates advanced from the recent June primary election, having garnered the highest number of votes among the contenders.
The primary election did not result in either McCarthy or Nordstrom achieving the majority vote required to win the seat outright, necessitating a runoff election in the fall. This outcome means the decision on who will represent Ward 2 will be determined by voters in the upcoming general election.
Further details regarding the vote percentages achieved by each candidate in the primary, or specific platforms and policy proposals that distinguish them, were not immediately available from the primary results reported.
The race for the Ward 2 City Council seat is a nonpartisan contest, meaning candidates are not officially running under their party’s banner during the general election campaign, though their party affiliations are noted. Voters in Las Vegas will have the opportunity to cast their ballots for McCarthy or Nordstrom in November.
