Independent American Party to Hold Open Nye County Convention

The Independent American Party of Nye County scheduled its annual county convention for Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026, at Our Place, 1401 S. Hwy 160, in Pahrump. The convention will open with a public session from 10 to 11 a.m. that is free and open to all; party business will follow for registered members and delegates. Organizers expect about 30 attendees.

State party chair Janine Hansen is scheduled to speak at the meeting, providing an overview of the party’s nomination process. Local vice chair Anthony Greco is listed to discuss his potential run against Ron Boskovich, a development that could influence candidate fields and voter choices in future local contests. The county convention precedes the party’s state convention, which is planned for February in Tonopah.

For Nye County residents, the county convention represents a compact opportunity to observe how a smaller political organization conducts nominations and internal deliberations. The public session is timed to give nonmembers a front-row view of the party’s procedures and priorities without requiring formal party affiliation. That access matters in a low-population county where individual voters and activists can have a proportionally larger impact on local political dynamics.

The prospect of a local figure discussing a potential challenge to an incumbent or established candidate underscores the convention’s electoral significance. If a primary or independent campaign emerges from this discussion, it could affect vote splitting, candidate recruitment, and campaign messaging in a county where turnout and organized party activity shape outcomes. The presence of a state-level leader at the meeting signals coordination between county and state party structures, which can matter for ballot access, candidate endorsements, and campaign resources.

Practical details are straightforward: the open session begins at 10 a.m. and runs one hour, followed by party business. The venue address is 1401 S. Hwy 160, Pahrump. Community members curious about alternative nomination processes, local party organization, or possible local candidacies are invited to attend the public session. Observing the convention offers residents a direct way to better understand how smaller parties operate and how those operations can intersect with broader electoral competition in Nye County.
