John Marz is the incumbent Democrat in the Henderson City Council Ward 3 race. John Marz was appointed by the Henderson City Council in January 2012 to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of Kathleen Vermillion. He was chosen over the other applicants for the position because he promised he "absolutely" would not run. He said it would be unfair for an appointee to run as the incumbent. Now he is running as the incumbent.  January 2012 article in the Sun about the appointment:  Sun Article January 2012

Erin Lale can defeat John Marz

Erin has a 3 point plan to grow the local economy. One of her ideas is to repeat the success she had as founding Chairman of City Lights Artists' Co-op in which she worked with the Henderson Redevelopment Agency to start a nonprofit art gallery in a city-owned abandoned building in the north part of Water St., which at that time had been boarded up empty since the 1970s. The gallery was so successful at drawing businesses back to the area that it had to move to a side street, and now it's on Army St. City Lights is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.  Erin has been speaking with local groups about seeding nonprofit groups and city depts. into abandoned commercial districts, and the Las Vegas Hawaiian Civic Club has expressed interest in moving its headquarters from Las Vegas to Henderson. 

Erin has more years of public service experience than John Marz. Erin served for 3 years on the SNAMH Advisory Board, on which she initiated an action by the Board which successfully blocked a move by the DMV to deny driver's licenses to people who had received "any counseling services," including marriage counseling. Erin has a strong record of standing up successfully for common sense. 

Erin has the support to succeed. Her dedicated volunteers have been working hard with a phone bank, events, and district walking.  Local startup small businesses are hosting her public events, such as her Meet & Greet March 30 from 3pm-5pm at the Green Valley Indoor Range 175 Cassia Way #1110, Henderson, NV 89014, and her Post Primary PartyApril 14 noon-3 at Total Promotions Company, 10 W. Pacific, Henderson, NV. She has been endorsed by such groups as the local constitutional conservative group Reclamation Nevada and national group Liberty Candidates.
