Councilwoman Nancy Brune was born into a family that emphasized service to God, country and community. That foundation inspired a wide-ranging career dedicated to service, including work with women in rural Nicaragua on micro-enterprises, advancing national security programs at Sandia National Laboratories, building partnerships through the World Bank and consulting in the private sector with JPMorgan Chase.
In 2013, Brune became the founding executive director of the Kenny Guinn Center for Policy Priorities, Nevada’s only bipartisan policy institute. Under her leadership, the center grew into a respected statewide resource, providing research that informs decision-makers on issues ranging from education to economic development.
Since 2022, Brune has represented Ward 6, one of the city’s fastest growing areas, on the Las Vegas City Council. She also serves as a principal at Luz Development Institute and sits on numerous boards, including the Southern Nevada Health District and Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada. Brune’s leadership emphasizes listening, collaboration and practical solutions that strengthen communities and prepare them for the future.
