My name is Pat Spearman, I'm the first black openly gay veteran to serve in Nevada State Senate. I'm now running for Mayor of North Las Vegas and I need your help!

Pay inequity lead Brittney Griner to Russia. The median salary for a WNBA player is $102,751 to $128,369 compared to the NBA'S median salary at $3.8 million.
If our WNBA players were paid fairly, they would not have to go overseas to sustain their economic security.

I'm running for North Las Vegas Mayor because I believe that everyone deserves the right to affordable housing, clean energy, healthcare, and safe neighborhoods.
I'm fighting for the rights of the people. Everyone deserves a fighting chance.

Can't believe I'm saying this again but - child marriage is still legal in 44 out of 50 U.S. states, but abortion rights are the issue?

The glow up is generational.
I want to let everyone know, I appreciate your concerns and thank you for reaching out to see how I'm doing.

Early this morning, my step mother closed her eyes and "went to sleep" for the last time. Her transition hurts deeply, but I know she is in a better place.
I met her at 7 years old. She made us feel like we were her own. With her, we were the Brady Bunch before the Bradys.
Fun fact: For the first time in Nevada State history women hold the majority of leadership positions in the Nevada State Senate.
That's progress my friends!
While I'm third generation free, I'm only the second generation in my family to be allowed the right to vote.
The right to vote is a human right and it will not be denied, abridged, or overturned by the incompetence of an unjust administration.
We will not go backwards.

We are currently under an administration that uses xenophobia as a matter of control, fear, and oppression.

AG Ford was a BIG reason why we were able to ratify the ERA.
Pay Equity. LGBTQ Equality. He put the full weight of his leadership to get bills supporting these efforts and our communities.
We wouldn't be the Nevada we are today without his leadership.

In 2019, Governor Steve Sisolak made history by becoming states first Democratic Governor in almost 20 years. His steady leadership guided us during a once-in-a-century pandemic. He laid the foundation for critical inclusive recovery during a very uncertain time in our history.
