The 2022 Henderson mayoral election was held on June 14, 2022, to elect the next mayor of Henderson, Nevada. Term-limited incumbent Democratic Mayor Debra March decided to run for the Nevada lieutenant gubernatorial election.
Republican Michelle Romero easily won the election.[1] The election was officially non-partisan.
Due to a court ruling regarding the elections for the city council and mayor by the Nevada Supreme Court[2] [3] and changes to the law regarding all elections here statewide by the Nevada Legislature and Governor Steve Sisolak, March was not eligible to run for re-election in 2022 due to term limits.[4] [5] [6]
Romero was considered the heavy favorite, due to her massive fundraising advantage, having raised over $500,000 by the start of 2022, as well as having received several endorsements from well-known local politicians, such as incumbent mayor Debra March and County Commissioner and former mayor James B. Gibson.[8] [9]
