The Henderson Homeowners Association (HHA) website was created to inform residents of decisions and actions by the City of Henderson, particularly members of the Henderson City Council. It is a non-partisan organization.

The City of Henderson is quickly losing the last of the small town feel that separates it from Las Vegas. Your vote can profoundly shape its future.

The spring primary election may be critical in preserving the quality of life in Henderson. Before you vote or choose not to participate in this spring’s primary election, please read the following story.

This election may be crucial to the future of Henderson. It will determine if we continue down the same the path of unchecked residential and commercial development and the enrichment of individual council members.

The story of little Jimmy Seebock

In April, the residents of Ward 1 in Henderson received a mailer from little Jimmy Seebock. Who would have guessed that he would grow up to become a corrupt politician?

This mailer describes his upbringing, growing up in Henderson, family life (with pictures) and delves into his career with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. This includes more pictures in uniform which is legal in this campaign as he is no longer a member of LVMPD force.

His use of pictures in uniform during the special election campaign in 2023 while serving as an active duty officer were illegal. Seebock knowingly and willingly violated Nevada campaign laws as he preened for the cameras in his LVMPD uniform. Ironically, his opponent was also an active duty police officer but chose to campaign ethically.

Seebock is also on the ethical fringe this campaign with at least two other questionable actions. His campaign banner attached to the side of a building in Henderson violates an ordinance in the City of Henderson. City officials when confronted with the issue, refused to intervene citing Nevada statutes that override local law.

Wouldn’t you think that a Henderson City Council member would uphold local ordinances and take responsibility for an ethical violation in the city? A second questionable incident occurred on April 24 at the Lake Las Vegas Master Association meeting of the Board of Directors.

Seebock was allowed and encouraged to give a campaign presentation in the public meeting that was open to residents after being introduced as a “great friend” to Lake Las Vegas. This may have been a violation of campaign law. In the least, it was an ethical breach by both Seebock and the president of LLVMA. As you will see, this friendship has been purchased by Lake Las Vegas, which is largely controlled by Raintree Investment Corporation (RIC).

The speech was a list of non-accomplishments by the candidate, including shout outs to various businesses. Seebock recognized a restaurant/bar that has contributed directly to his campaign. The same establishment has received money back from the candidate via expenses listed on his campaign financial disclosure.

The information and data cited throughout this narrative is derived from Seebock’s self-disclosed financial reports available on the Nevada Secretary of State website (links below), his campaign website https://votejimseebock.com/ and his mailers received in April and May by Henderson residents.

His bios attempt to reflect a family man with deep roots in the community with a passion for serving the interests of the Henderson citizens. Run of the mill statements about public safety, economic growth and development, community input and education fill the text.

He cites an unreputable source that claims Henderson as “the second safest city in America.” It is not. Although in his defense, the same claim is supported by the three other council members with whom he consistently conspires with when voting on most issues.

His proclaimed support of first responders and improving safety in the community should fall on deaf ears. Note, he has not received the open endorsement of Henderson Police Department. Notice on one flier, he cleverly cites a retired Captain in HPD as an endorsement to try and fool voters that he has garnered its support.

His opponent, Jason Porter, has openly and consistently called for increases to salaries and wages for members of the police and fire departments, and other first responders; to make them more competitive locally and nationally.

These Henderson agencies were near the bottom end when compared to communities in the Las Vegas valley. The City Council recently passed wage increases in an obvious political stunt to protect the incumbent candidates.

Seebock overrates his expertise and ability to improve the public safety infrastructure. There is current controversy over the number and location of police precincts and fire stations as the City of Henderson continues to rapidly expand.

His views on education are somewhat misguided and reflect some unfounded opinions. In a contradictory way, he is trying to appeal to voters by mixing school choice, community input and an independent Henderson school district together.

On one mailer, Seebock discusses the need to preserve neighborhoods in Ward 1 that have “unique rural character” and protect them from overdevelopment. He goes on. “I’ll make sure that new projects are right for the neighborhood, water challenges are considered and the needs of homeowners are heard.”

The unique rural character of Lake Las Vegas will completely evaporate. Raintree continues to profit from an effort to develop every last square inch of the LLV’s 3600 acres. Raintree openly supports Seebock in his current campaign.

The Three Kids Mine development is not right for any neighborhood. Beside the valid concerns over environmental impact and future health concerns, the loss of future tax revenue will have significant negative effect on all Henderson residents.

The needs of homeowners in Lake Las Vegas, Calico Hills, Talesera Hills were not heard. The Three Kids Mine development project is proceeding as scheduled. Highly toxic dust is blowing across the area as questionable mitigation efforts are currently underway.

Homeowners in the area were not warned of this peril. It has been routine for LLV to under inform, not inform or flat out lie about new residential developments that negatively affect existing homes.

The Three Kids Mine project is controversial because of an unsound remediation plan to rid the site of an old magnesium mine of highly toxic contaminants in the ground. It is a site left best undisturbed.

There is also controversy over the backdoor funding of $550,000,000 guaranteed by the City of Henderson for mitigation of the site. Various Henderson players contributed to the corruption. Thus far, Seebock has not questioned the validity of this project. He quickly jumped on the developer money train tracked to City Council members to remain mute on financing and the environmental impact.

There is danger in being fooled by a phony folksy, down-to-earth manner and not recognizing a corrupt politician bought by corporate interests. Developers have clearly purchased this seat on the City Council. The goal is to have unfettered access to properties and unquestioned authority over development. Mission accomplished with Seebock. 

Seebock demonstrates a mediocre intellect that begs the question of what possible value could he provide with his recently created consulting firm (Bock Consulting LTD). Is this just a front to receive money legally “over the table” or a legitimate enterprise?

An invitation to “a fundraiser and cocktails with the candidate” at South Shore County Club in Lake Las Vegas being held on May 22 was received via a mailer. It was hosted by the managing partner of a company whose services include mergers and acquisitions along with investment and business strategies.

Can blatant corruption be any more overt, days before the primary election opens? How much more money does he need?

At tonight's Meet the Candidates event in Lake Las Vegas, Seebock demonstrated either extremely naive ignorance or flat out lied about the history of the Three Kids Mine (TKM) (Lakemoor) project.

He tried to glaze over the genesis of the remediation of TKM. It was driven purely by a money grab; not by any benevolent concern over a toxic environment.

Little Jimmy Seebock has now become Big Jim Seebock. Big on collaborative collusion with other City Council members. Big on lining his pockets with financial contributions. Big on actions and decisions that are ethically questionable.  

Summary points:
  • Embellished resume (not indicative of competence)
  • Takes false credit for accomplishments (many of which have no substance anyway)
  • Accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions (legal bribes?)
  • Serves as a shill for corporate and residential developers (bulk of contributions)
  • Has not questioned the Three Kids Mine project (highly toxic danger to area residents)
  • Supports the allowance of open containers of alcohol on Water Street (mini strip?)
  • Supports the Boulder Highway project (which will close two lanes in both directions)
