Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman gets 2 challengers

Two challengers to the Las Vegas mayoral seat emerged Friday, and an expected candidate officially filed to run in Ward 1 on the City Council, according to the city clerk’s office.

Pastor Vance “Stretch” Sanders and Jack L. Schofield Jr., a part-time math instructor and son of the former Nevada legislator, filed to run for mayor against incumbent Carolyn Goodman.

Jesse “Jake” Holder, a former Assembly candidate, joined three others so far and filed to run for the Ward 1 council seat to be vacated by term-limited Mayor Pro Tem Lois Tarkanian.

The candidate filing period started Tuesday and ends Feb. 1. The primary election is April 2, and the general election is June 11.
