Where Manny Stands

Four priorities. One framework: results, measured publicly.

These aren't talking points. They're the issues families across District E deal with every day — and they deserve real solutions, in plain language, with deadlines. Each plan below is what Manny will push for if you send him to the Clark County Commission.

The four issues

Homelessness & Public Safety

Compassionate outreach. Real shelter and stabilization beds. Smart enforcement that protects neighborhoods. Quarterly public reporting by area — including District E hotspots — so residents see transparent progress.

  • 7,906 people counted homeless in Clark County on a single night in 2024
  • Over half were unsheltered — a decade high
  • Public reports by area, not by program

Revitalizing the Commercial Center

The County has spent more than $12 million acquiring property here. Now the community deserves a public roadmap with deadlines — lighting, cleanliness, safety, parking, and code compliance, addressed first.

  • $12M+ in County property acquisitions to date
  • Year-one quality-of-life improvements, not another study cycle
  • A step-by-step plan with timelines anyone can measure

Affordability & Cost of Living

The median home price is near $490,000. Manny will prioritize expanding housing supply, cutting delays that drive up costs, and measuring success by how many homes are actually built and occupied each year.

  • ~$490,000 median home price in Southern Nevada
  • 53% Las Vegas resale price growth, Dec 2019 – Dec 2025
  • Cut delays. Expand supply at attainable price points.

Government Accountability

Spending tied to measurable outcomes. Contracts judged on performance, not relationships. Ethics and disclosure standards that are straightforward, consistently applied, and easy for the public to access.

  • F1 ethics-disclosure finding against 5 commissioners (2025)
  • F1 deal through 2037 approved in ~2 minutes
  • Performance reviews on contracts — every cycle

The Framework

Six tests every county action should pass.

Manny ran businesses for two decades. He learned that the difference between good ideas and real results is six rigorous questions, asked every time.

Test 1

What outcome are we measuring?

Not the activity. The outcome. Activity is meetings. Outcome is fewer people unsheltered, more homes built, lower wait times.

Test 2

Who owns the deadline?

Every commitment gets a name and a date. A name without a date is a wish. A date without a name is a press release.

Test 3

How will the public see progress?

If it can't be put on one page that a resident can read on their phone, it's not a plan — it's a problem someone hasn't solved yet.

Test 4

What's the simplest first step?

Year one is for things you can do this year. Lighting. Cleanliness. Code compliance. Door-to-door. Save the moonshots for year two.

Test 5

What happens if it fails?

Every contract should have a clear failure mode and a clear consequence. No more "we'll do better next year." That's not accountability — that's a refund request.

Test 6

Did we ask the people affected?

The people closest to a problem usually have the most useful information about how to solve it. We just have to ask — and listen.

Affordability is not just about policy — it's about ensuring families can live, work, and thrive in the community they call home. I work for you. Together, let's make local government more accountable, transparent, and effective.
