Sin City Showdown: Drew Johnson v. Justin Jones

Las Vegas — Johnson v. Jones. What sounds like a landmark Supreme Court case is one of 2022’s costliest county-level campaigns and one with national implications. Republican Drew Johnson is challenging incumbent Democrat Justin Jones in District F of the Clark County Commission. All told, these combatants and their supporters will spend some $5 million for one of seven seats on the institution that controls Sin City.

Johnson, 43, is a lifelong free-market advocate, think-tank founder, and political commenter. Jones, 47, is a protégé of the former U.S. Senate Democratic leader, the late Harry Reid. His wife, Megan Krausman Jones, worked for Reid and now oscillates between Las Vegas and Washington, D.C., where she began in September as a top political aide to Vice President Kamala Harris.
