Howard Watts Files for Assembly District 15

"...Meanwhile, Howard Watts, a progressive activist and small-business owner, has announced he’s running for the state Assembly seat in District 15, which covers an area near Interstate 515 east of downtown Las Vegas.

The seat is currently held by Elliot Anderson, a Democrat, who isn’t seeking re-election. Watts is a Las Vegas native who previously worked at the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada before starting his own public relations firm.

“I’m excited for this opportunity to run,” Watts said in a statement. “I have the knowledge, experience, and work ethic to help advance good policy in the state. I see this as the next step in my dedication to public service, and look forward to connecting with the voters in District 15 to see how I can help meet their needs as an Assemblyman.”
