Edlen’s Julie Pazina Sworn in as Nevada State Senator
Julie Pazina, national director of sales for Edlen Electrical Exhibition Services, was formally sworn in as Nevada State Senator on Feb. 6, the first day of the 82nd Session of the Nevada State Legislature. Representing District 12 in southeast Las Vegas, she will chair the Natural Resources Committee and serve on the Commerce and Labor and Growth and Infrastructure committees.
Pazina, who has worked at Edlen since 2006, served as president of the Las Vegas Hospitality Association, creating mentorships and internships for students. She brought speakers to high schools, UNLV and the College of Southern Nevada to showcase the hospitality industry and inform students on career opportunities.
After losing the 2018 race in District 20 by a small margin to Republican Keith Pickard, Pazina captured 52% of the vote in her 2022 campaign, defeating Republican Cherlyn Arrington. Pazina, the freshman Democrat, replaced Republican Joe Hardy, who term-limited out.
TSNN caught up with Pazina on her fifth day in office to find out what it’s like to serve and balance a position with Edlen. She shared the scoop on submitting her first bill and chairing her first Natural Resources Committee meeting as a freshman Senator.
