Former county commissioner hosts ‘Pizza and Politics’ event

Former Nye County Commissioner Leo Blundo held a recent event at his Carmelo’s Bistro.

Dubbed “Pizza and Politics,” Blundo told the Pahrump Valley Times that the informal gathering was a vehicle allowing for civil political discussions in a sometimes heated general election year.
