Republican Greg Noelck announced Tuesday that he is no longer considering a run for Clark County council.

Noelck’s campaign for the District 3 seat currently occupied by Republican Councilor David Madore was short-lived. He had announced for the office last month, but this week said he wanted to spend more time focusing on his family and work as a physical therapist.

Republicans John Blom, a county planning commissioner, and Madore have both announced their candidacies.

The uphill climb of running against two other Republicans, including the incumbent, was a factor in Noelck’s decision, he said.

“I could see how things were shaping up,” Noelck said.

Blom, meanwhile, had well-wishes for his would-be opponent.

“Greg was the first to step out and say we need new leadership,” Blom said. “The people of District 3 deserve someone who can work collaboratively on the issues that matter to them. That’s a belief he and I share.”
