NLV Councilwoman Garcia-Anderson and business owner, activist, running for Ward 2 seat

A local entrepreneur and community activist is campaigning to oust North Las Vegas Councilwoman Ruth Garcia-Anderson, who’s been endorsed by her fellow City Council members.

The Ward 2 position — which previously sat Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown — is the only city seat up for grabs during November’s election.

Robert “Twixx” Taylor bested Garcia Anderson by 38 votes during the June primary which sent the top two candidates to the general election. He’s a “serial small business owner” whose ventures have included a barber shop.

Garcia-Anderson, who was appointed in late 2022, became the first Latina to ever serve on the city council. She was appointed to the position after Goynes-Brown became mayor.
