Biography

Brunetti works as a real estate agent. He was previously president of the Nevada Homebuilders' Association.[1]

After the 2015 legislative session, prior incumbent Pat Hickey resigned in order to take a position on the Nevada Board of Education.[2] The seat remained vacant until September 2016, when Brunetti was appointed by the Washoe County Commission for the October 2016 special session.[3] The session was called in order to authorize the issuance of $750 million in public bonds, so that the money could be given to the Oakland Raiders for the construction of Allegiant Stadium.[4] Brunetti ultimately voted in favor of the subsidy.[5]

Brunetti did not stand for election in November 2016 and was succeeded by fellow Republican Jill Tolles.

Personal life

Brunetti and his wife, Nina, have three children; Giana, Gemma, and Guy. Brunetti obtained a BA in political science from Stanford University.[6]
