Democrat who masqueraded as Republican seeks to oust Fiore from Council

Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, a liberal activist who last year posed as a conservative to infiltrate the state GOP, is switching things up once again.

After planning to challenge Las Vegas City Councilwoman Victoria Seaman in Ward 2, Ashton-Cirillo has announced a move to Ward 6 and a campaign to take on Councilwoman Michele Fiore, who was the target of an unsuccessful pandemic-year recall effort dubbed “Expel Michele.”

Ashton-Cirillo recently revealed that during her time with the Nevada GOP last year she was asked by a consultant hired by the party to help bring the Proud Boys to a pro-Trump rally after the election.

“Having exposed the connection between the Nevada GOP and the Proud Boys, I knew if I want to represent my constituents in every sense, it would not have been a complete cycle without beating Michele Fiore,” Ashton-Cirillo said in an interview with the Current.

Fiore is a loyalist of Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald, who led the state effort to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
