La Rue Hatch asks for a second term in Nevada Legislature
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – Selana La Rue Hatch points to her first term in the Nevada Legislature as a reason for voters to give her a second.
“I’m going to bring the voices of my students and their families with me,” says La Rue Hatch, a democrat who represents Assembly District 25. “And that’s what I did last session. You know I am not rich, or famous or well-connected I’m just a teacher trying to make a difference.”
La Rue Hatch says she believes she made a difference her first term in office representing District 25 in the Nevada Legislature.
In the 2023 session she says she’s made her decisions not on who was in power, what would make her look good, or even if it was a democrat or republican idea or bill.
“I am ranked as one of the most independent legislators in Carson City and I am proud of that,” says LaRue Hatch.
Besides an important education bill which meant pay increases for local teachers, and lower class sizes, she also points to a tracking device bill she co-sponsored with republican assemblywoman Jill Dickman.
The bill made placing tracking devices on cars like that which was put on Mayor Hillary Schieve’s vehicle a felony. While some law makers voted yes because the devices could be a political dirty trick, La Rue Hatch says she was moved by those women who were stalked by former partners with the use of tracking devices.
She says she will vote for Question 6 which places abortion rights in the Nevada Constitution.
“Oh some may say we already have those,” says LaRue Hatch. “That’s settled law. But we thought abortion law was settled law before Rowe was overturned, and we need to do everything we possibly can to make sure radical politicians can’t take away our basic rights.”
As a school teacher she doesn’t want public funds spent on private education.
“Those are public dollars and they should not be going to unaccountable entities that do not have to follow the same standards as the rest of our public education,” says LaRue Hatch.
She believes affordable housing will be one of the biggest issues lawmakers will confront in Carson City next year.
She says solutions might be found in what doesn’t work here in Nevada.
“We need to stop corporations from buying up entire neighborhoods, and outbidding Nevadans on homes,’ LaRue Hatch. “Just to turn around and rent them out at exorbitant rates. I think we need to look at our zoning. And build up rather than out.”
La Rue Hatch says as a schoolteacher she sees firsthand what’s going on in Northern Nevada through her students and their families– the good and bad.
She says her job requires her to problem solve, do research and think on her feet. All of which she says helps her represent those in her district to the best of her ability.
“I have fought for our community the last session. And I am excited to go back and continue to be that strong voice for northern Nevada.”

The defending 5A state champion Centennial Bulldogs (7-3) open conference play with a challenging road test Wednesday night when they travel to Henderson to face the Liberty Patriots (10-7) in a Nevada 5A Southern basketball clash.
Coach Karen Weitz’s Bulldogs, seeking their second consecutive state title, will rely on their formidable frontcourt duo of forwards Nation Williams and Inieye Oruh, complemented by standout guard Sanai Branch.
