Daniel Corona

Daniel Corona was elected Mayor of West Wendover, Nevada, in 2016 becoming the youngest and first openly LGBTQ+ mayor in the state of Nevada's history. Daniel, a fourth generation resident of the Wendover area, was inspired to run after meeting with voters in his neighborhood who were frustrated by the lack of transparency and access within City Hall. Daniel also works as the Senior Center Director at the West Wendover Senior Center. When he isn't fulfilling his duties as mayor or at the Senior Center, Daniel enjoys taking his dogs Maxine and Lily for hikes in West Wendover's surrounding mountain ranges and, when weather permits, spending weekends backpacking sections of Nevada's Ruby Mountains. A lifelong outdoorsman, Daniel is a passionate advocate for protecting Nevada's public lands and never shies away from taking tough stances on conservation issues, even if it means standing up to Nevada's powerful mining industry.
