Martinez | Martinez has been a lifetime member of the [[Libertarian Party]] since April 2019. A former Democrat who became interested in libertarianism because of [[Ron Paul]], he previously served as an elected Trustee (board member) of the Clark County Republican Party and as a member of the Nevada Republican Central Committee, advocating for the libertarian wing of the Republican Party. | ||
Martinez was a candidate for North Las Vegas City Council in 2013. The campaign used many tactics that were considered unconventional, such as diamond-shaped signs, hand-written letters, and the encouragement of supporters to request mail-in ballots. Although he was a registered Republican, Martinez's campaign is believed to have mostly drawn support away from Democratic Party-endorsed front-runner Isaac Barron in the heavily-Democratic district. This deprived Barron of an automatic win in the non-partisan primary, instead forcing a general election with Republican Jared Hardy. While Barron went on to win the general election, Martinez's campaign achieved a significantly lower expense per vote ratio than any other candidate. Nominated by Barron, the North Las Vegas City Council later appointed Martinez to a town committee. | Martinez was a candidate for North Las Vegas City Council in 2013.
