From October 27, 2020:

Police are conducting a criminal investigation into allegations that a Las Vegas assemblyman misused campaign funds and failed to live in his district, the Review-Journal has learned.

Intelligence detectives executed search warrants signed by a district court judge this year seeking campaign and personal banking records of Assemblyman Alexander Assefa, a Democrat running for a second term in District 42.

Detectives also sought public documents Assefa filed under oath indicating that he lived in the Spring Valley district, as well as records and personal belongings that showed he actually was staying at a North Las Vegas home owned by his wife, Zenash Mebratu.

Assefa, 37, who did not respond to requests for comment, lists Mebratu as his wife on the Nevada Legislature’s website, and Clark County property records show she has owned the two-story North Las Vegas home since August 2015.
