There’s a new Governor in Nevada, and he’s making changes. The Nevada Independent reports that freshly sworn in Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak will be appointing Sandra Douglass Morgan as the new chair of the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) when current chairwoman, Republican Becky Harris, finishes her term on January 27.

Morgan was previously the city attorney for North Las Vegas, and was the first African-American city attorney in the state of Nevada. She left that role to work as director of external affairs for AT&T.

In a statement, Governor Sisolak showed confidence in Morgan’s ability to carry out the role for the four year term. He said, “Sandra’s extensive experience and record of leadership shows that she is not only qualified to chair the Nevada Gaming Control Board, but that she will excel at it as well.”

Today, I am proud to appoint Sandra Douglass Morgan as the new chair of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. I have no doubt Sandra will excel in this new role and I look forward to working with her.
