Hanadi Nadeem (born 1972) is an American physician and politician serving as a member of the Nevada Assembly since 2024.[1] A member of the Democratic Party, she was elected in 2024 to represent the 34th district, which includes Summerlin in Las Vegas.[2]
Nevada House of Representatives
Nadeem was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and raised in Islamabad, Pakistan, in a family of physicians. She initially moved to the United States for her husband’s medical residency in Philadelphia, then the couple moved to Chicago and finally Las Vegas.[2]
Nadeem runs the Shifa Medical Center, a primary care clinic, in Las Vegas.[2]
Nadeem ran for the Nevada General Assembly in 2024 to succeed Shannon Bilbray-Axelrod, who unsuccessfully ran for the Clark County Commission. A Committee supporting her Republican opponent, Brandon Davis, paid for billboards showing a publicly available photo of Nadeem with links to a website showing evidence she supported terrorist sympathizers over Facebook posts where she had supported Imran Khan[3] A website launched by the Committee linked on the signs described Nadeem a "far left extremist", leading to condemnation by Nadeem, Assembly speaker Steve Yeager, and U.S. senator Catherine Cortez Masto.[4]
In 2025, Nadeem received criticism alongside nine other Democrat Nevada Legislators for leaving the Assembly in a deliberate attempt to avoid voting on SB179, a bill to add Antisemitism to the list of considerations when conducting an investigation into an alleged unlawful discriminatory practice in housing, employment or public accommodations.[5][6]
