District B Trustee candidates face unusual election process
The race for Clark County School Board District B is unfolding differently than in other districts, with an election scheduled to take place just days after someone is temporarily appointed for the seat, which is currently vacant.
Trustee Katie Williams resigned Sept. 11 after the district attorney found she was not a resident of Nevada and declared her seat vacant. The board plans to fill her seat by Oct. 30. But that person will only serve for a few months before one of the two candidates elected in November takes the seat in January.
Former special education teacher Eileen Eady (D) and former U.S. Air Force and Moms for Liberty member Lydia Dominguez (R) are vying for the seat.
At the Sept. 26 board meeting, there was some discussion of what would happen if the candidates applied for the position. Dominguez told the board she was seeking its appointment through the application process, noting she was the leading candidate. Dominguez received 2,404 more votes than Eady in the primary election. Eady told the Review-Journal she will not submit an application and will wait for the election.
