Background and education

Tenure

Seaman is the Assistant Majority Party Whip (South). She is vice chair of the Assembly Commerce and Labor Committee and serves on the Judiciary Committee and the Legislative Operations and Elections Committee.[1]

In early March 2015, Seaman voted for a school construction bond supported by Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval and introduced by Senate Republicans.[3] Seaman was removed in December 2014 from the Taxation Committee by Assembly Speaker Designate John Hambrick because she opposed Governor Sandoval's tax plan.[4][5]

2016 General Election Defeat

Seaman did not seek re-election to the Nevada State Assembly in 2016. Instead, Seaman was a 2016 Republican candidate for District 6 of the Nevada State Senate.[6] On November 8, 2016, Nicole Cannizzaro (Democrat) defeated Victoria Seaman in the Nevada State Senate District 6 general election, 51 percent to 49 percent. In this same election, Democrats won control of both the Senate and Assembly in the run-up to the 2017 legislative session.[7]
