Top Issues

Economy Dave has a proven Las Vegas track record for building consensus and moving forward. This means sustainably growing the ward, providing more secure and reliable jobs, adding community centers, churches, and developmental agreements that benefit the community. Economy Las Vegas shouldn’t be a city full of people living paycheck to paycheck it should be a city on a hill for those looking for a better future: this involves expanding Las Vegas beyond the hospitality capital of the world and to a city that accommodate every major industry from technology to artificial intelligence to healthcare to clean energy to filmmaking. Social Services To Dave the solution is clear, these resources should be poured into programs that actually provide real results. The heat alone in the summer kills over 500 unhoused people in our city. This needless death must stop; we need to make it harder to live on the streets of Las Vegas: limiting vagrancy, panhandling, and providing resources to the programs that work to get people off the streets and back to work. Education He vows to work closely with CCSD to fix the education gaps caused by the pandemic, the teacher shortage, and to drastically bring down the truancy rate and expand the graduation rate. Effective government can ensure that every child has equal access to education, literacy, and a path to a successful future. Social Services Dave pledges to work with the city to expand accessibility to childcare through our local community organizations. Housing On top of this, Dave champions the movement to revolutionize the housing market and create paths that allow for attainable homes for all Las Vegans. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Dave supports our first responders and supports law and order in our communities. Dave commits to keep all Las Vegans safe. In that regard, Dave will push for Ward 6 to have a second substation built within his first term and city ordinances that keep communities safe and happy. Taxes / Budget Dave commits to not raising taxes, particularly in this harsh economic climate.
