Debra Anne March (born November 25, 1953) is an American politician who served as the 13th mayor of Henderson, Nevada. Before being elected mayor, March served on the Henderson City Council for eight years.[1] In January 2018, a ruling found March in violation of ethics when she failed to disclose her relationship with the Henderson Community Foundation while the city council was voting on legislation relating to the foundation.[2]
Due to a court ruling regarding the elections for the city council and mayor by the Nevada Supreme Court[3][4] and changes to the law regarding all elections here statewide by the Nevada Legislature and Governor Steve Sisolak, March is not eligible to run for re-election in 2022 due to term limits.[5][6][7]
She chose to run for Lieutenant Governor of Nevada in 2022, after former Lieutenant Governor Kate Marshall resigned to join the Biden administration in 2021. Ultimately though, she lost the primary in a landslide to the appointed incumbent Lieutenant Governor Lisa Cano Burkhead.[8][9] her term ended on January 3rd, 2023, and was succeeded by Michelle Romero.
