Brune wins Ward 6 primary, secures re-election

By Kirk Kern

Incumbent Ward 6 City Councilwoman Nancy Brune has secured another term on the Las Vegas City Council after winning the June primary election with 57 percent of the vote.

Because Las Vegas City Council races are nonpartisan, candidates who receive more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary election are declared the winner and avoid a general election runoff in November.

Brune celebrated the victory in a message to supporters shortly after the results became official.

“The votes are in,” Brune said. “I’m elated to share that Team Brune won the primary with 57 percent of the vote.”

Brune credited her campaign team, supporters and volunteers for helping secure the victory. She specifically thanked campaign manager Dennis Walters, who accurately predicted the campaign’s winning percentage.

“I’m honored to have earned the confidence and trust of the voters of Ward 6,” Brune said. “I’m grateful to all of the volunteers and supporters — near and far — who stood with us by knocking doors, making calls, telling a friend, posting signs, helping with material designs, opening their pocketbooks and lighting their prayer candles.”

Throughout her campaign, Brune emphasized community engagement, neighborhood connections and a positive campaign message. 

She said voters responded to her record of service during her first term.

“I’m especially grateful to the voters of Ward 6,” she said. “Thank you for seeing us — seeing the work we’ve done consistently over the past four years to build connection and community, and for affirming our commitment to run a positive campaign rooted in our values and faith and informed by servant leadership.”

Brune was first elected to represent Ward 6 in 2022. The ward includes portions of northwest Las Vegas, including communities such as Skye Canyon, Centennial Hills and Providence.

With her majority victory in the primary, Brune’s campaign is officially complete. 

She will not appear on the Nov. 3 general election ballot and is scheduled to be sworn in for her next term on July 1.
