There’s a powerful new ally in the effort to remove Clark County Councilor David Madore from office.

Camas investor and philanthropist David Nierenberg, along with a bipartisan team of community leaders, has formed Connecting Clark County, a political action committee focused on electing Republicans John Blom and Jennifer McDaniel in council Districts 3 and 4, respectively.

“The mission of the group that’s working together is to restore common courtesy, common decency and common sense to the government of Clark County, so that it can resume working together to make forward progress addressing the needs of the community,” Nierenberg said.

Nierenberg, who has put $50,000 into the PAC, said the group will work to ensure Madore, a Republican running to keep his seat in District 3, and District 4 candidate Eileen Quiring lose in their races. Madore and Republican Councilor Tom Mielke have both endorsed Quiring, a Republican.

“We are all known by the company that we keep, by the endorsements that we kept,” Nierenberg noted about Quiring.
