LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The two candidates vying for Las Vegas Mayor faced off in a debate Tuesday on 8 News Now.

Shelley Berkley, a career politician, debated with Victoria Seaman, a sitting city councilwoman in the non-partisan race.

It will be the first time in 25 years that the nonpartisan office will be held by someone who is not a member of the Goodman family, with Oscar Goodman being elected as mayor in 1999 and his wife, Mayor Carolyn Goodman, having held the position since he left office in 2011.

Former Congresswoman Shelley Berkley

Berkley, who was raised in Las Vegas, served the State of Nevada in the United States House of Representatives from 1999 to 2013, holding the position for seven terms. She also served in the Nevada State Assembly from 1982 to 1984. According to Berkley’s website, Berkley was a practicing attorney for the Nevada State Commerce Department, in-house counsel for Southwest Gas Corporation, and Vice President for Government and Legal Affairs for the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas.

City Councilwoman Victoria Seaman

Seaman is currently serving as councilwoman for the Las Vegas City Council representing Ward 2 and previously spent one term and two special sessions in the Nevada State Legislature representing Clark County’s Assembly District 34. Seaman serves on the Debt Committee, Yucca Mountain Nuclear Repository Committee, Southern Nevada Water Authority Recommending Committee, and serves as Chair of the Audit Committee, according to her website.
