    Letter to the Editor: 2026 COUNTYWIDE BALLOT QUESTION (Part 4)

    LET THE PEOPLE OF PAHRUMP VOTE “YES” or “NO” TO THE QUESTION !!!!!
    The question I am proposing for the BALLOT is whether or not the Town of Pahrump should have an “Elected” Town Board beginning in January 2027 as a result of the November 2026 election. 

    If we are successful in getting the required number of signatures, then it will all be worthwhile. 

    Five members of the Pahrump Community went to the Nye County Clerk’s Office because they were willing to stand up for the nearly 47,000 residents of Pahrump.  So, we hope that the 47,000 residents will stand WITH these FIVE brave members in allowing the voters to speak for themselves by every voter signing the petition. 

    There are elected Town Boards (Amargosa, Round Mountain, and Tonopah) that speak for their residents.  There are Advisory Boards appointed by the County Commissioners (Beatty, Belmont, Gabbs, and Railroad Valley) who do the best that they can with their limited authority for their communities.  Lastly, here is Pahrump with nearly 47,000 people, but has NO real voice since the ONLY voice comes from the five Nye County Commissioners, whose real job should be to manage the 3rd largest County in the United States of America, and NOT attempting to manage the Town of Pahrump. 

    Just in case you didn’t know or had forgotten, look at these statistics:

    POPULATIONS: (Current 2025 Estimates)                                              MANAGED By
    – Nye County –                   55,720                   100% (of Nye County)  County Manager
    – Pahrump –                        46,778                                   84%                  County Manager

    Towns WITh a Town Board
    – Amargosa –                      1,408                                     2%                    Town Manager
    – Round Mountain –          2,233                                     4%                    Town Manager
    – Tonopah –                         1,938                                     3%                    Town Manager

    Towns WITh a Town Advisory Board
    – Beatty –                             492                                         1%                    County Manager
    – Belmont –                        0 to Non-Existent             0%                    County Manager
    – Gabbs –                              210                                         1%                    County Manager
    – Railroad Valley –             No defined population  1%                      County Manager

    People of PAHRUMP, let “YOUR VOICE” be heard by signing the petition. 

    Here is My question for everyone reading this letter:  Did you register to vote just to be told that you shouldn’t vote or that your vote won’t matter? 

    Learn where the petitions are TODAY so you can be one of the supporters with the FIVE brave members to allow every Pahrump voter’s voice to be heard. 
    If you have questions, please Contact the Town Board Committee NOW !!! 

    For Information: Contact the Pahrump Town Board Committee.
