Hillary Louise Schieve (born October 12, 1970) is an American businesswoman and politician from the U.S. state of Nevada. She is the mayor of Reno, Nevada since 2014, and is not affiliated with a political party.
Schieve was on the Reno City Council from 2012 to 2014. Schieve was one of 20 candidates on the primary ballot in 2014. She ultimately ran for mayor in 2014 and beat her opponent, Raymond "Pez" Pezonella, a Democrat, 60.90% to 39.10% in the Washoe County election. She was elected to the position of City of Reno Mayor on November 4, 2014 and sworn in eight days later. Although she is Non-Partisan, she received considerable support from the Democratic Party prior to winning the mayoral election.
On August 25, 2016, Schieve endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 on the general election after Schieve declined to endorse candidates on the primary. Clinton was later defeated by Donald Trump on November 8–9, 2016.
Schieve was named by Politico as one of the 11 most interesting mayors in America. In doing so, Politico noted her work to improve the Midtown area of Reno, and continued efforts to promote affordable housing, mental health services, and fight homelessness.
Schieve apologized for the replacing of the American flag with the LGBT rainbow flag on the Reno City Hall skyscraper building on July 27, 2015.
