Hillary Schieve is an American politician.

Schieve was born on October 12, 1970, in Reno, NV. She attended Reno High School and Arizona State University, graduating with a degree in Marketing.[1] She became a lobbyist for organ donor awareness after her sister, Reno news anchor Amanda Sanchez, donated a kidney to her.[2]

Schieve was on the Reno City Council from 2012 to 2014. She ran for mayor in 2014 and beat her opponent, Raymond "Pez" Pezonella, 60.90% to 39.10% in the Washoe County election.[3] She was elected to the position of City of Reno Mayor on November 4, 2014, and sworn in eight days later.[4] Although she is non-partisan and not affiliated with either the Democratic or Republican Party, she was endorsed by the Democratic Party prior to winning the mayoral election.[5]

Schieve is also a founding member of the Midtown Merchants Association. She received the 2011 "Entrepreneur of the Year" award from the Reno Gazette-Journal.[citation needed][6] Schieve has also worked to promote Eco-friendly small businesses in Reno's Midtown District.[citation needed]
