Commissioners are among the most powerful local officials in Southern Nevada. They manage the county’s multi-billion-dollar budget, pass ordinances, oversee infrastructure such as roads, parks, libraries, and flood control, regulate land use and development, and provide oversight of the county jail system. Their decisions directly impact public safety, housing affordability, economic opportunity, environmental sustainability, and how transparently and responsibly taxpayer dollars are used. In a rapidly growing region like Clark County, these races are critical to ensuring accountable governance, long-term planning, and policies that serve the broad interests of the community.

Public Safety needs to be a top priority to protect our homes, schools, businesses and communities.
We need to work with the federal government, county and cities to identify lands that can be released at little to no cost to spur investment for affordable housing.
We need to support our law enforcement so they can do the job of protecting our communities for which they have been trained to do.
We need to make sure our courts follow the penalties prescribed by the legislature to hold criminals accountable.

The county’s top budget priorities should focus on core services that reduce long-term costs and improve quality of life. First, I would integrate public safety with behavioral health by investing in mental health services, homelessness response, and substance use treatment so we prevent crises instead of repeatedly responding to them. Second, I would prioritize housing affordability as it impacts public safety, education outcomes (homelessness among youth), workforce retention, and emergency services. Third, I would invest in modern public transportation, including light rail and expanded bus service. These investments can be supported through strategic reallocation, federal and state grants, and public-private partnerships.
I would pursue a strategy that increases supply, reduces delays, and expands housing choices while respecting neighborhood context and engaging residents in the planning process. First, I would remove zoning barriers to allow smaller, more affordable homes and “missing middle” housing such as townhomes for first-time buyers and young families. Second, I would eliminate wasteful parking minimum requirements, especially near transit corridors, to maximize land use efficiency. Third, I would increase allowable lot coverage and reduce setback restrictions where appropriate. Fourth, I would prioritize transit-oriented development and housing near transit corridors. Finally, I would redevelop underutilized land and vacant properties into housing.
Our current system stretches first responders too thin, asking them to handle mental health and homelessness crises instead of focusing on emergencies and serious crime. I will fund and scale teams of mental health professionals and paramedics to respond to non-violent calls. This strengthens, not replaces, law enforcement by allowing officers to focus on high-priority incidents.
I will also apply proven safety urban design principles such as better lighting, clear sightlines, and active public spaces to prevent crime. I will work to redesign dangerous streets to improve road safety. Finally, I will invest in community-based violence prevention, including after-school programs and youth job initiatives, to break cycles of violence.
