North Las Vegas Councilman Isaac Barron intends to run for the Clark County Commission in District D next year.

He will hold a campaign kickoff and fundraising event on Wednesday.

The District D seat is currently held by Lawrence Weekly, who is term-limited.

Barron was first elected to the North Las Vegas City Council in 2013 to represent Ward 1. The Rancho High School teacher was re-elected in 2017.

Assemblyman William McCurdy II, D-Las Vegas, announced in August that he will run for the Commission in District D. McCurdy is the chairman of the Nevada Democratic Party.

Business consultant Dillard A. Scott and Tanya Flanagan, a Clark County public information administrator, have also announced runs.
