Clark County Council Picks Medvigy For Open Seat

Citing his extensive background in law and military service, the Clark County Council voted unanimously Tuesday afternoon to appoint Gary Medvigy to the open seat on the council. The seat was left vacant after Republican county Councilor Eileen Quiring began her term as council chair earlier this year. The vacancy triggered a process where the Clark County Republican Party nominated three candidates to the county council to replace Quiring, who was elected to represent District 4 in 2016. Last week, Medvigy, along with airline pilot John Ley and Republican Party activist Brook Pell, was nominated by the party.
