Doug Polk Considers Running for Mayor of Las Vegas


Doug Polk is considering running for mayor of Las Vegas. He has been critical of the current mayor, Carolyn Goodman, for her handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and has called for help from Las Vegas residents who voted for her to notarize a 'Notice of Intent to Recall'.

Doug Polk has received support from other poker players, including Daniel Negreanu, for his criticism of the current mayor. He has also been criticized for his lack of political experience and his focus on poker.

Doug Polk is preparing a new video and studying the process of previous elections. He has not yet announced his intention to run for mayor, but has already gathered two signatures out of the three needed to start the recall process. His new non-poker channel has twice as many subscribers as the number of votes needed to win the mayoral election.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
