Candidates present were Marla Renteria, for Henderson Justice Court Dept.1, Fil Am Karl Katarata, for CCSD School Board, Michael Naft, for Clark County Commissioner, Annette Dawson Owens for Nevada Assembly, and Monica Larson who is running for election to the Henderson City Council (see photos below).
