As the dust settles from last month’s municipal elections, Las Vegas Planning Commissioner Cedric Crear officially announced he plans to run for the Ward 5 City Council seat.
He made his plans official Tuesday, nearly two years before the next election cycle. Councilman Ricki Barlow has represented Ward 5 since 2007, but Barlow is term limited in 2019.
Barlow appointed Crear to the Planning Commission in 2015. Crear also represents District 1 on the Nevada Board of Regents. The municipal primary races are held in April of odd-numbered years.
