Outgoing Schieve congratulates Marshall on becoming next mayor of Reno

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - Outgoing Reno Mayor Hilary Schieve is congratulating new Reno Mayor Kate Marshall on her election as city’s newest Mayor.

Marshall declared victory over opponent Kathleen Taylor last week, winning the race by more than 20,000 votes, according to the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office.

In a statement, Schieve said:

“There is something truly special about welcoming the next person who will have the privilege of leading a city we are all so fortunate to call home.

Today, I want to personally congratulate Mayor-Elect Kate Marshall on her resounding victory. I am grateful that the people of Reno have entrusted the next chapter of our city’s story to someone who brings kindness, thoughtful leadership, and more than two decades of distinguished public service, including her time as Nevada State Treasurer and Lieutenant Governor.

Kate knows Nevada, understands the responsibility that comes with public office, and brings invaluable experience to this role. I have every confidence she will lead with a steady hand, an open heart, and an unwavering commitment to our community. I couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead.

Kate, my hope is that this city brings you as much joy, purpose, and inspiration as it has brought me.

I hope you will join me in extending a warm welcome to Mayor-Elect Kate Marshall as we celebrate her ceremonial swearing-in this Friday.

Congratulations, Kate!

With warmest wishes for all the wonderful things ahead for you and Reno,

Mayor Hillary Schieve"
