Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones (D) will not run for re-election

Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones is not planning to run for re-election in 2026, The Nevada Independent has learned.

In a statement, District F Commissioner Jones said “the time has come for me to hand off that baton.”

“After weighing the rigors of another campaign and discussing with my family, I have decided not seek reelection in 2026 and will instead work hard to elect another Democrat in District F to continue the progress that I and my colleagues have made for Southern Nevada,” he said in a statement.

Jones’ time as commissioner was marred by a 2023 controversy after he deleted text messages related to a real estate development near Red Rock Canyon. Jones, who was representing an environmental group organized to stop the development, allegedly offered then-County Commissioner Steve Sisolak to drop a lawsuit against the county in return for Sisolak’s help in delaying a vote on the project.
