Clark County Sheriff
The sheriff runs the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The terms below name who held the office. Under that, this page lists everyone recorded as filing to run, with the campaign money each reported raising.
Filing to run for an office is not holding it. Only people marked Sheriff below are recorded as having held the office; everyone else is listed as a candidate. Contribution totals are what each campaign reported to the state, not an audit of what it received.
Sheriffs
Terms are years. Kevin McMahill was sworn in on January 2, 2023. No month or day was supplied for the other terms, so those dates stay years.

Known gaps in this dataset
- Term years for the eight people marked Sheriff are recorded at year precision. Kevin McMahill was sworn in on January 2, 2023, and is the incumbent. Month and day were not supplied for the other terms. Everyone else on this page filed for the office and is listed as a candidate. Office labels in the source filings are unreliable across cycles.
