Lydia Dominguez, a former Moms for Liberty member, voted for a trustee she previously opposed, causing disappointment among supporters.

Clark County: So, there’s been quite a stir lately. Lydia Dominguez, who used to be with Moms for Liberty, made a surprising move at her first school board meeting. Instead of backing her friend Lorena Biassotti, she voted for Linda Cavazos, a trustee they’ve had issues with before.
This vote really caught a lot of folks off guard. Many parents who supported Dominguez felt let down. One former member, Katrin Ivanoff, expressed her disappointment, saying Dominguez was supposed to represent the parents’ wishes.
It’s worth noting that Cavazos has been at odds with Moms for Liberty in the past, especially over mask mandates during the pandemic. She’s also been a strong advocate for inclusive policies, which the group has opposed. So, this vote felt like a slap in the face to many who campaigned for Dominguez.
After the vote, there was a lot of chatter in the conservative community. Biassotti mentioned that they had campaigned on the idea of “voting your values,” but Dominguez’s choice didn’t seem to align with that. It left many scratching their heads.
Dominguez did her homework before voting, watching hours of board meetings to make an informed decision. She insisted that her choice was about what’s best for the district, not personal feelings. Cavazos backed her up, saying she believed Dominguez voted based on public support.
Despite the drama, both women are looking to move forward. They want to focus on what’s best for the students and the district, rather than getting caught up in past disagreements. It’s a complicated situation, but they’re both committed to making things work.
