3 of 6 Mesquite City Council seats up for grabs in November, including mayor's seat

Half of the six Mesquite City Council seats are up for grabs in next month’s election, including the mayor’s position.

Mayor Allan S. Litman and Councilman Wes Boger will try to fend off challenges, while two candidates are vying to fill an open seat.

The Clark County city — which is located about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas — has a population of nearly 23,000 residents, a number overshadowed by its 917,000 annual visitors, according to city figures. It has 2,163 active building permits.

The historically agriculture-based town was initially settled by 15 families in the late 19th century and incorporated about 100 years later in 1984.

“A new hospital, medical and dental clinics brought care that had only been possible by traveling outside the valley,” according to the city’s biography. “Stores, restaurants, movie theaters, art galleries, golf courses, hotels and casinos are providing employment and services for the lifestyle that has become a trademark of Mesquite.”
