Because Brune received a majority of votes in the primary, she avoided a November runoff. Under Nevada municipal election law, if one candidate in a primary city election receives a majority of votes cast for that office, the candidate is declared elected and does not appear on the general city election ballot.

Election Followed Competitive Ward 6 Race

The 2026 Ward 6 contest drew three candidates: Brune, Grammas and Marlon. Before the primary, The Nevada Independent reported that the top two vote-getters would advance to the general election unless one candidate received more than 50% of the vote, in which case that candidate would win the seat outright.

Brune crossed that threshold, securing another term without a November race. Her victory keeps Ward 6 representation stable at City Hall as Las Vegas continues to address growth, public safety, infrastructure, parks, housing, tourism-related revenue pressures and neighborhood services.

What The New Term Means

Ward 6’s geography gives the seat a distinct set of priorities, from fast-growing master-planned communities to preservation of historic and natural spaces in the northwest valley. The ward includes areas around Tule Springs, Floyd Lamb Park, Skye Canyon and other rapidly growing northwest neighborhoods.

Brune’s new term also continues her role on several boards and committees. Her city biography lists current service connected to regional housing, public health, Tule Springs Fossil Beds, Yucca Mountain issues and the Nellis Civilian Military Council Executive Board as an alternate.
