Brittnie Watkins knows her tenure as chairwoman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board might last just two months.
Her future on the board will be up to Governor-elect Joe Lombardo after he is sworn into office in January.
Watkins has two and a half years left in her four-year appointment to one of three board positions that oversee the nearly 400-person state agency charged with regulating and enforcing the laws associated with Nevada’s largest industry.
“Hopefully, he decides that I’m doing a good enough job to keep my role as chair,” Watkins said in an interview the day after outgoing Gov. Steve Sisolak elevated her to replace Brin Gibson, who resigned effective at the end of November.
