Charles "Roy" Briggs, City Council Member

After many years of living and working in the San Francisco Bay area, Roy and his wife Leanna set out in search of a place where they could get away from the hectic demands of big city living.  In September of 1989, that search ended when they found West Wendover and subsequently made it their home.  Roy works in the Surveillance Department for the Peppermill, Rainbow and Montego Bay Casinos.  When time permits, Roy and his wife greatly enjoy spending time at their ranch in Pilot Valley.

"Today, West Wendover is at the threshold of what should be a very bright future.  Roy is both honored and humbled that the citizens of this community have given him this opportunity to represent their voices in the many important decisions that are in front of us as a community."
