Hanadi Nadeem

Hanadi Nadeem (born 1972) is an American physician and politician serving as a member of the Nevada Assembly since 2024. A member of the Democratic Party, she was elected in 2024 to represent the 34th district, which includes Summerlin in Las Vegas.

Career 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. 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.

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.

Personal life Nadeem is Muslim and married to internal medicine doctor Nadeem Tariq, with whom she has five children. She is the first Muslim woman elected to the Nevada State Legislature.
