Making it possible for working families to stay and thrive in Nevada

Families across District 36 are feeling pressure from multiple directions: rising housing costs, increasing utility expenses, and wages that have not kept pace with the cost of living.

In suburban areas like Summerlin West and surrounding Clark County communities, affordability challenges are driven by rapid growth and demand. In rural areas like Nye County, the issue is compounded by limited economic diversification and fewer high-wage job opportunities.

This creates a shared outcome across the district: financial instability for working families.

A practical approach to affordability includes:

• Supporting housing development strategies that increase supply while maintaining community stability
• Expanding workforce development aligned with healthcare, infrastructure, and skilled trades
• Encouraging economic investment in rural regions to reduce geographic inequality
• Reviewing local and state policy tools that impact housing costs and availability
• Strengthening pathways for wage growth tied to economic development

Affordability is not a single issue—it is the result of how healthcare, education, housing, and jobs interact.
